Our strategy

Enable patients, families, and communities to take control of their care and support. Example: Tulip Standard, Essentials of Care. In order to empower our health and social care partners and help ensure a high standard of care across our community, we provide a formal training course for care staff, as well as our own registered clinical staff at Dorothy House.

Work with partners to provide holistic care. Example: Coffee Connection. The Coffee Connection is a social group aimed at those affected directly or indirectly by a life-limiting illness. It is co-hosted by Dorothy House and local cancer charity, We Hear You (WHY). As well as this collaboration with another charity, our team fosters community partnerships with local businesses to run the groups.

Provide high-quality, compassionate care. Compassionate Companions is a Dorothy House volunteer-run service designed for people who are at the very end of their lives who might otherwise have no one with them, or whose friends and family need time away from the bedside.
