Our aim is to keep you with your family and in your community, rather than on a hospital ward.
We do this by designing a personal programme of specialist therapies, treatments and advice to meet your particular physical, psychological, emotional and practical needs.
We provide a safe, secure and comfortable environment where you can discuss your concerns and feelings with other patients in situations similar to yours, and with professionals who really understand.
The other patients you’ll meet here come from all over Sheffield. Some have no previous links with St Luke’s. Others transfer from being in-patients here or from being cared for by our community team.
How to get referred to us
If you are not a patient of ours but think you would benefit from attending the therapies and rehabilitation centre, ask your GP, hospital consultant, specialist nurse, district nurse, or another health professional caring for you, to refer you to us. They do this by filling in a particular form and sending it to our referrals team based at the hospice.
If you need the level and type of care we provide, we’ll contact you a few days after your referral, usually to arrange a convenient time for your first visit.
