Dorothy House
Dorothy House believe every life is incredibly precious, and no-one should face death alone.
​
'We provide exceptional personalised care to people in our community who are approaching death. That means we’ve got you: we’re here for our patients and their loved ones, as much or as little as they need us'.
​
The standard of care provided by Dorothy House Hospice Care reaches deep into the community. Through ten locally-focused Dorothy House care teams, patients and their families feel prepared for the end of their lives. Dorothy House also facilitates and equips more people to provide the care each of us deserves.
​
Dorothy House was founded by Prue Dufour in 1976, who opened up her own house on Bloomfield Road, Bath to care for those in need at the end of their life. Dorothy House is now situated in Winsley, near Bradford on Avon and has a 10 bed inpatient unit, Day Services, Therapies teams, a Family Support Team and is situated within stunning grounds, maintained by a team of volunteers.
