Archangel Michael hospice offers palliative and respite care to all those in need regardless of nationality, race, religion or the nature of their illness. We treat the person instead of just the disease and focus on the family as a whole and not just the individual. We emphasise the quality of life and not its duration allowing terminally ill patients and their families to experience the end of life together in the comfort and security of a homelike setting welcoming relatives who wish to stay with their loved ones whilst they are here in the Hospice
