About Us
Keech Hospice Care
Keech Hospice Care is the adult hospice for Luton and south Bedfordshire, and the children’s hospice for Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes.
As a charity, we provide free, specialist care for adults and children with life-limiting and terminal illnesses as well as vital support for their family and friends.
We are one of the very few hospice charities in the UK which supports and cares for both children and adults.
Our excellent care supports children and adults to live pain and symptom free, to spend untroubled time with their family and friends, to understand what is happening to them, to stay out of hospital and to make the most of the time they have.
Our care is not just provided at the hospice itself but in the hospital, school, care or family home – wherever support is needed the most.
As leaders in our field, our excellent standard of care extends to support a patient’s family, friends and colleagues for as long as they need us afterwards. We offer emotional, spiritual and practical support, and our care does not stop at death. For these families, when it seems as though nothing will be the same again, Keech Hospice Care is there to help.
