Marie Curie Hospice, Newcastle

Welcome to the Newcastle 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 visit

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 art therapy to tai chi, we offer a wide range of activities in the hospice to help you live the best life possible, for as long as you can.

“

The thing about Marie Curie Hospices, they don’t just look after the person that’s ill, they looked after me. I always wanted to make sure he was comfortable and he had everything needed, but when Kevin arrived in hospice, I could forget about all of that and just be there to hold his hand.

Margaret, whose husband Kevin was cared for at Marie Curie Hospice, Newcastle
