About us Who we are Your local hospice. A very warm welcome from us all at Mountbatten Hampshire - Hampshire's oldest and largest hospice, proudly serving the community for more than 45 years. We provide 24/7 inpatient and community domiciliary and palliative end-of-life care services to people across Southampton City and large parts of Hampshire, including rehabilitation and enablement services, and psychological and bereavement support to patients and their families. Treating everyone with kindness, compassion, and providing a safe and caring environment is at the heart of everything we do to support those living with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones. We deliver expert care and support to people experiencing death, dying, and bereavement. We give patients and their families choices about the care they receive, providing the highest quality nursing, medical, and therapeutic care within our hospice and in people's homes, supporting our patients and their loved ones' physical, social, and psychological needs. We currently support around 1,000 families every day, and the demand for our services is predicted to rise by 40% in the next 18 months. Our services are free of charge to all who need us, thanks to the generosity of our amazing community and our incredible volunteers who give their time to support the best possible care for local people living the last years of their life. It costs £11.5 million every year to keep our services running, and we rely on charitable support to fund our 24/7 services 365 days a year to the people who need us.
