Extraordinary Care

We believe in living life to the end and bringing joy to patients' lives. The care and services available here at Tapping House might not be what you expect a Hospice to provide.

We care deeply about providing people with choice, and we work with everyone as an individual, supporting them on every step of their journey.

In Their Own Words..

Lovely quotes from our patients, volunteers and supporters

People think hospices are all doom and gloom and it's not. It's so happy and so joyous. We might not have a lot of time left, but if I can laugh with ease and have a joke and sometimes be a bit rude, that's what it's all about. Life is for living.

Adelle Bates

Lovely, peaceful surroundings for those in need. The staff are wonderful. Their dedication and care shown towards those they care for is second to none. Thank you for looking after our brother.

Lynda Overton

I cannot thank and praise all of the staff at Tapping House enough for the care, compassion and dedication they showed towards not only my Mum (who sadly passed away this week) but towards us as a family there with Mum. Nothing was too much trouble and they ensured that what was an incredibly difficult time for all of us, was as comfortable and relaxed as possible and allowed Mum to pass peacefully and with dignity. I shall remember each and every one of the staff that we dealt with, with my utmost gratitude for what they did in Mum's last few days.

Graham Yates

Absolutely amazing hospice the staff are very welcoming and can not do enough for you, very peaceful atmosphere, my dad received great care.

Paula Drew

Love.. love.. love.. volunteering for Tapping House. After experiencing the help and support from the staff at the Hospice, I felt I wanted to get involved, and do what I could to help, around hours that suit me. The feeling of volunteering and giving something back is amazing. Helping at events and talking to people from all walks of life is fascinating and very moving at times. Can’t recommend volunteering enough! Try it... you won’t be disappointed!
