Welcome to the Cardiff and the Vale hospice

We help people with an illness they’re likely to die from, and the people close to them, receive specialist care and support – for free. This includes Alzheimer’s (and other forms of dementia), heart, liver or kidney and lung disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s and advanced cancer. Whatever your illness, whoever you are, we’re with you to the end.

How does it work?

To make sure you get the right help, we start by listening to you. What matters most to you matters most to us. Our support may include:

In-patient stay

If you need specialist round-the-clock care, you can stay in our hospice as an in-patient. That might be until your symptoms have been stabilised, or you might stay for your final days.

Outpatient care

You can visit our hospice to get regular, personalised care targeted to your needs – whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are approaching the end of life, or are close to someone who is.

Wellbeing support

From light exercise to hypnotherapy, we offer a wide range of activities in the hospice to help you live the best life possible, for as long as you can.

Home visit

You can arrange home visits to get the same expert care as you would in a hospice, without leaving the house. Our specialist team will assess your needs, give support and help you plan for the future.

How do I get care at this hospice?

If you or someone close to you is living with a terminal illness and would like to support from Marie Curie Hospice, Cardiff and the Vale, please contact the healthcare professional in charge of your or your loved one's care. This might be your community palliative care team, GP, hospital consultant or district nurse.

Why can’t I refer myself?
We work in partnership with the NHS and our hospices form just one part of your overall care. To make sure all the different types of care and support you receive are working well together, it’s helpful for them to be co-ordinated through the healthcare professional with overall responsibility for your care.

“

I can’t thank Marie Curie enough for the wonderful care they gave my mum. It brought our family great comfort knowing she had the best 24-hour care possible at the hospice.

Mum had a large window and could see the sea and part of Penarth pier from her chair and bed. She’d sit there in the beautiful window seat with her little sun hat and sunglasses on with the sun streaming in, it was tranquil, quiet and peaceful.
