Respite homes
We understand that cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery can be a very difficult process for both patients and their loved ones. Normal family life and routines are often disturbed by the strain of regular medical treatment, and a break away from it all is often invaluable. Time away to relax, regroup and recharge in a comfortable environment can help enormously.
We have two seaside homes – one in Whitby and one in Filey. If you’re being treated by the York Hospital Trust, we can offer you the chance to get away with your loved ones for a three or four-night stay. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are undergoing treatment, or getting through the other side, we’re here to help.
