Weston Hospicecare is a hospice situated in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. The Hospice cares for anyone who has a life-threatening illness. Weston Hospicecare provides a high standard of skilled medical and nursing care, both in the Hospice and at home. It was founded in October 1989 from a group of volunteers who felt that the town and the surrounding areas needed a local hospice opposed to having to travel to St Peter's in Bristol or St Margaret's in Taunton. Weston Hospicecare today boasts a wide range of services including a Day Hospice, Hospice at Home and a 10 bedded In-Patient Unit. The Hospice cares for around 600 people and their families each year.
