Inpatient unit

As an inpatient, 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. 

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.

We encourage you to treat the inpatient unit as you would your own home. Our team will happily pop the corn so you can enjoy a film night with your family; fulfil a craving for childhood comfort food or plan a wedding at short notice.

The inpatient unit booklet below has further information about how our rooms are furnished and what you may like to bring with you if you are staying with us. Alternatively, you can take our 360 virtual reality video tour so you know what to expect before your visit to us.

Visiting hours

Due to COVID-19 we have had to introduce some visiting restrictions on the inpatient unit.

Read the most recent information for visitors to Trinity

Meals 

As an inpatient you can eat what you want, when you want – we prepare your meals to order on site and can cater for any special dietary requirements or preferences. 

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 28 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.

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.
