At Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, we’re proud to offer excellent palliative and end of life care to those living with a progressive life-limiting illness in the place that best suits their needs or wishes. As an independent hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.

Today we operate within Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, in people’s homes, in care homes, in the community, and in our specialist purpose-built facilities in Watford and St Albans.

Our team of 340+ includes a wide range of patient-facing disciplines plus operational support based in Watford, Tring, St Albans, Chalfont St Giles and Berkhamsted.

Providing support from point of diagnosis

Looking after over 4,500 patients a year, as well as those around them, is a huge privilege, one we simply could not achieve without the incredible support of our 1600+ strong volunteer workforce.

We work together with healthcare professionals within Bucks and Herts who directly refer patients into our care, but also with individuals and their families. We also recommend calling our Coordination Centre on 01923 60 60 30 as soon as a diagnosis has been confirmed. The team will usually book in a short assessment and explain the most relevant care to suit each individual’s needs.

Our specialist palliative and end of life care is offered in four stages:  Early Support, Living Well, Dying Well and Bereavement Support.

Every individual receives personalised care, developed to suit their own needs. This can include group and one to one sessions, signposting advice on how to keep well during illness, help maintaining independence and understanding how to plan ahead for future care needs. We work with individuals and those around them to discuss their own wishes and prepare to receive personalised support in the place that best suits their needs.
