As an inpatient at Trinity, you'll be surrounded by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers whose expertise and support will be available to you and your family when you need it 24/7. 

People might stay with us as an inpatient to get difficult physical or psychological symptoms under control before returning home, for rehabilitation so they can continue living independently or for end of life care, when their illness is advanced.

Our inpatient unit has been designed to give you comfort, flexibility and privacy. Patients have a safe, dignified space of their own and the flexibility to spend time alone or in company, surrounded by their possessions and the people they care about, if they choose. Our extensive grounds and gardens are there to enjoy anytime, whilst prayers and moments of quiet reflection can also be found in the Garden Room. 

We hope you are comfortable on the inpatient unit. 

At Trinity we believe in making every moment matter, so please ask our staff for help with anything you might like to see happen when with us. This could be fulfilling a craving for childhood comfort food, special celebrations with family and friends or even organising ceremonies such as a wedding at short notice. 

You can find out more about the inpatient unit thanks to our brand new one-stop inpatient unit guide below.

Returning home

Many people find that a relatively short period of inpatient care makes a real difference to how they are feeling and enables them to return home feeling more comfortable. Around 40% or our inpatients come for a short stay and then go home. Trinity has just 26 beds and there is a high demand for them which means we can't be a permanent alternative to care in your own home, care home or nursing home. You can learn more by talking to a member of the team or reading our leaflet called "Transfer of care".

If your symptoms are well managed but it would be difficult for you to go back to your own home, then we will help you and your family and friends to find other places where you can continue your care.
