>> Programmes and Activities



		In-patient Care for Adults & Children We provide 24-hour medical and nursing care, working with the patient’s family and caregivers as part of a caring and life-affirming team. We offer two wards with 35 beds, 19 of which are single rooms with a sofa bed for family to be with patients when necessary. Families of patients who need respite care may consider the inpatient service for planned short term care arrangements. Home Care for Adults & Children Patients living at home receive 24-hour support from our professional team to help them cope, mentally and emotionally, with their loss of health and independence. Home Care service aims to support patients and their carers at home. A care team comprising dedicated doctors, nurses and medical social workers will provide 24-hour service to help with physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. Day Care for Adults Our day care centre aims to provide patients with a restful and tranquil place to spend the day, avenues for social interactions and emotional support as well as being assured of medical/nursing attention with physical, occupational and recreational therapies. Day Centre for Children The Assisi Children’s Centre provides day care for children from the age of three. It is open to those who are undergoing active cancer treatment, those in remission and waiting to return to school, those receiving palliative and hospice care, as well as those with other life-limiting illnesses subject to medical and nursing assessments.
