LIMASSOL HOSPICE CARE UNIT WHICH IS LOCATED
AT THE CHRYSOVALANTOU CLINIC
We realise that most life limited people wish to stay at home. However, for a variety of reasons, this is not possible for everyone and our hospice unit is there to back up the homecare that is available in Limassol District. The patient and their family are at the centre of our care and our facilities are available for life limited people in Limassol District regardless of race, religion or means. We are there to help the patient and their loved ones. Our aim is to affirm life and view death as a natural process. We try to help patients live the remainder of their lives as fully as possible.
Our three bed hospice unit is the only hospice facility in Limassol. We can be found at The Chrysovalantou Clinic, 6 Ierou Lochou Street, Kapsalos, Limassol where well qualified medical staff are available to care for patients throughout the day and night.
We offer three types of care namely respite, symptom control and end of life. Patients may come in and go home again during the course of their illness.
Respite care is available for a period of two weeks to give families and carers some rest.
Symptom control helps to manage symptoms that cannot easily be controlled at home. The patient will return home when the symptoms are under control.
End of life care patients come to the unit when they are in the very last stages of their illness and death is imminent and both the patient and their family wish to be in the hospice rather than at home.
All our care is free, although we hope that financially able families will contribute to our charity to help us continue our work.
“You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life and we will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully but to live until you die.”
