Our Patient Journey of Care
At Rennie Grove Peace, we provide palliative and end of life care support within Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire in four stages: Early Support, Living Well, Dying Well and Bereavement Support. Our patient services are available to adults as well as patients transitioning into adult services (16 to 25 years.) Bereavement support is offered for all ages to families of patients and those around them.
We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose-built Living Well Centre facilities. As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.
Our vision
A future where every individual is empowered to live well and die well.

Our mission is to provide the quality hospice care that our community needs. We do this by:
