Respite Homes

We understand that cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery can be a very difficult process for both patients and their loved ones. 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.

Respite home

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 a seaside home 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.

How to apply

If you’d like to apply for a break away, first you’ll need to download and fill out this Application Form. We’ll also need a signature from your doctor or senior nurse. You can also get a form from the Cancer Care Centre, at our shop at York Hospital, or at most GP surgeries.

Please send this back to the address listed on the form. You can choose to stay from Friday to Monday (three nights) or Monday to Friday (four nights).

During subsequent years, one further visit is possible as long as the referral criteria is met. However, new patients will take priority.

Once a date has been agreed, we will require a £50 deposit to confirm the booking. This should be in the form of a non-refundable bank transfer or a cheque, which can be returned at the end of your stay unless you wish to donate it towards the upkeep of the apartment.

If you have any questions, please call us on 01904 764466, email nicola.doherty@yorkagainstcancer.org.uk, or fill out the form below.
