Day Services

Weldmar Day Services are provided for patients and their carers at locations in north, south and west Dorset

The service is for people who are approaching the end of their life and/or have complex palliative care needs.

We care for patients with cancer and other progressive conditions, such as motor neurone disease, who require our specialist help.

This service is provided Monday to Friday from 10am until 3pm, depending on location.

All the rest of our care and therapies are free of charge.

Some of our sessions even offer hair and beauty, and baths. Our minibus picks up those who don’t have transport.

Many of our sessions have a nurse clinic to address any physical concerns patients have, and other staff are on hand to help with practical and emotional concerns.
