Ashgate Hospice > Accessible entrance and courtyard officially opened at hospice

Last week, we celebrated the official opening of our new accessible entrance and courtyard. The aim of the project was to create equitable access for those with physical disabilities to our counselling, social working support, onsite café, and training facilities.

Taking the step of accessing care and support from a hospice can be daunting for people, and we want to make sure there are as few barriers as possible – physical or otherwise. From the moment people arrive at Ashgate, we want them to feel welcome, seen and valued; and the accessible entrance and courtyard plays a vital role in this.

The new entrance gives direct and independent access to all. Our patients and their loved ones can all now enter our building in dignity and comfort, enabling them to reserve their energy and focus for getting the support they need; and the lovely courtyard can be enjoyed by everyone who visits and works at Ashgate Hospice.

From the moment people arrive in our car park at Ashgate, we want them to feel welcome, seen and valued; and the accessible entrance plays a vital role in this. Our patients, their loved ones, staff, volunteers and local community can all now can enter our building in dignity and comfort, enabling them to reserve their energy and focus for getting the support they need.
