Moya Cole Hospice

Organisation description:

We are a charity, and we support patients right across Greater Manchester from our two hospice sites in Heald Green, Stockport and Little Hulton, Salford. We also have dedicated Hospice@Home and specialist community teams who care for people in a place they call home. The support we provide is based around the individual needs of the person and what is important to them. Some people are referred to us for care right at the end of their lives, perhaps after a hospital stay. For others, we help by managing their symptoms so they can continue to live as full a life as possible. We have patients who receive outpatient support from us too. We also provide emotional support – helping people come to terms with the results of their diagnosis, and also supporting families including after the death of their loved one.
