Clare Holland House
Clare Holland House is a hospice serving the ACT and the region.
It is an inpatient palliative care unit where a specially trained team cares for people with a life-limiting illness.
People are admitted to Clare Holland House for a number of reasons.
Sometimes complex symptoms are best managed by admitting a person for a short time.
This allows the combined skills of the whole team to be used to sort out any problems. Once settled, the person can return home.
At other times, people are admitted as their illness progresses, or as it becomes more difficult to manage at home.
Admission at this stage reduces the carer’s workload. It can relieve the stress on the family,
allowing time and space to do what is important, and to nurture the relationships within the family.
The environment is made as home like as possible, where families can remain close and are encouraged to participate in care and decision making.
