About Us

Isabel Hospice has been providing palliative care to its patients and their families since 1982. It provides support and care to people in eastern Hertfordshire who are affected by life-limiting illnesses through its Community Care Team of Clinical Nurse Specialists and Hospice at Home service, In-Patient Unit, Living Well with Isabel hub, and its Family and Bereavement support service.

Isabel’s clinical teams work closely with other healthcare providers in the area, including care homes, hospitals and GP surgeries, improving access to services and sharing knowledge and expertise.

Isabel’s services are free of charge to those who need them, but they are not without cost, meaning nearly £7 million must be raised each year to guarantee the future of care for eastern Hertfordshire.

In the year 2023-2024, Isabel Hospice supported 1,597 patients – these services included 210 IPU admissions, 1,303 patients cared for by Clinical Nurse Specialists, 424 Hospice at Home patients, 2,144 attendances to our Living Well centre, and 12,461 consultations by our Community Care Team
