Donegal Hospice Company Limited By Guarantee Compassionate Hospice Care
About & Team

Local hospice leadership shaped by clinical care, family support, and community trust.

Donegal Hospice Company Limited By Guarantee brings together care planning, practical outreach, bereavement guidance, and operational stewardship so families across County Donegal can access calm, coordinated support when it matters most.

Who We Are

A hospice organisation built around dignity, continuity, and local access.

Our organisation supports patients and loved ones through serious illness with person-centred palliative care, responsive family communication, and close coordination with healthcare and community partners across Donegal.

The work combines clinical oversight, practical home support, volunteer coordination, and bereavement follow-through so families experience fewer barriers and more clarity throughout changing care needs.

How We Work

Every service is designed to reduce pressure on patients, carers, and families.

Teams work across referrals, home-based support, symptom guidance, family liaison, and after-loss follow-up. That joined-up model helps people stay informed and supported across transitions in care.

Alongside direct service delivery, the organisation invests in community partnerships, staff development, and volunteer capacity to strengthen hospice support in both urban and rural parts of County Donegal.
