Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity
The Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity aims to enhance palliative care in Norfolk and make a real difference in the lives of patients and their loved ones.
Priscilla Bacon Lodge sits on a semi-rural site close to the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital
The building offers:
- An inpatient centre with modern facilities and capacity for 24 beds
- All bedrooms open onto beautiful landscaped gardens, and beds can be wheeled outside
- Family rooms for relatives and patients with young children, so families can stay together towards the end of life
- Landscaped gardens for patients and visitors, accessible from bedrooms and wards
- The Friends Café for use by patients, their loved ones, and members of the public
- Day care and outpatient facilities
- Education and seminar facilities for the training of staff, carers and patients
- A dedicated hub for specialist care delivered in the community, in partnership with local hospitals and care homes
- Complementary therapy suites for patients, families and children
- Counselling for all age groups and needs
- Care at Priscilla Bacon Lodge
The care is provided by Norfolk & Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) and the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity raises funds to provide additional services to further elevate the care; such as enhanced catering, patient and family transport, specialist equipment, art and music therapy, complementary therapy and bereavement support.
Priscilla Bacon Lodge plays an important role in research, training and education. As well as the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, it is close to the University of East Anglia and the internationally-renowned Norwich Research Park. The aim is to make a unique contribution to developing and improving palliative care across the county and beyond.
