See the link for our latest job vacancies including the role of Sister:

Hannah Swift broke her ankle last year and whilst recuperating at home, decided to use her time productively by making and selling Christmas decorations to friends and family.
Hannah's hard work paid off and raised a brilliant £50 for Alice House patients!
She's back on her feet now and we'd like to wish her all the best with the rest of her recovery.

Hope everyone gets to spend Valentine's Day with the people they would most like to and have a lovely day (if that's your thing of course...)
If you are having a nice time with your significant other, please spare a thought for those people who are lonely or missing a loved one, sometimes a kind word can go a long way 💜 #valentinesday

Fantastic to be working with Co-op Funeralcare on our Memory Stroll event this year, which they have kindly sponsored. It was a pleasure to welcome Daniel to Alice House earlier this week to discuss plans for the event: https://bit.ly/2GgtYNM

Words cannot describe this amazing Hospice. My beautiful Mam spent the last 6 days of her life here, and I couldn't have possibly asked for any more from the angels that work here. They made sure my Mam was comfortable at all times, while showing genuine love, care and time to her needs. However, they went further than that and gave the whole of our family so much love and support too. They made us feel as though it was a home from home and I will be eternally grateful to them always xx

We donated mam’s clothes to Alice House after she sadly passed away. This was extremely hard. Yesterday we revived a letter to thank us for the donations & to inform us they had generated over £200 for the charity. I can’t tell you how much better this made us feel.

We are so sad to have lost such a special person from our lives but knowing he felt safe and well cared for by the amazing staff and volunteers at Alice House help us as family to make the most of the time we had together. You are all amazing people and we will be eternally greatful for what you have given us - thank you so much, you are truely appreciated x

This place and the staff in it are absolutely wonderful. My dad only got to stay here for a week before he sadly passed away, but I dont know how we would have managed without this place. The care and attention given to everyone is second to none. Will never be able to thank you all enough xxx

They are fantastic people who work there, everyone is an angel and a dedicated team.

They couldn't have treated our mam any better if they had tried, she loved her time in the hospice.

They have a lot of time for the families also, including those people who have lost loved ones and need help moving on. Myself included.

Keep the good work going, Hartlepool and District Hospice is a very worthy cause.

Such a kind and caring place to volunteer. The staff are always positive and approachable. Events are very well organised and I feel honoured to be a part of the Alice House Hospice.

My mam just recently passed away in this hospice, the care and attention she received both to her and my family were second to none, more than I could ever have done at home, wonderful place, thank you so much xxx

My family and I can not begin to put into worlds how eternally grateful we are for the care they gave to my granda. What an amazing place filled with amazing people who make such a hard time much more bearable. They do not only just care for the patient but they go above and beyond for the family too, they can not do enough for you. All we can say is thank you- but that will never be enough xxx

My dad wasn't looked after. In Hartlepool hospital nurses on is ward lazy soon as we got him in hospice he looked diffrent man well looked after and they cared about every 1 nothing was 2 much for them we new he didn't have long. Just so plz he died in here and not that hospital they. Are angels xx

My Husband Wally spent the last 6 days of his life in Alice house,myself and our family can’t thanks everyone enough for the care they gave him in his last days,love to you all and once again thanks you,xx

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Alice House. You made the last weeks of my Aunty's life the best they could be and for that myself and our family are truly grateful. Thank you for all of your care and support during a time of great need...you made a difficult time that much easier to deal with.



The care at this hospice is 1st class and I would recommend it to any family as a place to spend quality time with your loved ones in a safe and comfortable environment.

My dad was transferred to the hospice after been in North tees for four weeks.what a difference you all made to the end of my dad's life.he was given the best 24 hour care that cud of been given.the emotional support given to my dad and my family made his last 3 weeks as peaceful and as painfree.even after he passed away the nurses that evening wher amazing with my dad and me.I just wanted to say thank you for helping cope with family life whilst my dad was in hospice and coming to terms with my dad's illness I cudnt of done it without your wonderful staff doctors nurses tea lady's cleaners the chef's, you are all angels and a very special thankyou to the receptionist they always made me smile and put me at ease....we will always support the hospice but I don't think I could ever repay you for the kindness and care

Thank you all so much for your dedication, care & support and I will take great comfort in knowing how comfortable David was in your care. Thank you!

You are angels & I will miss you all.



Much love, Gillian Herring x

I cant thank the hospice enough for the care and support given to me, my husband and our children and families. We were made to feel like the hospice was our second home. When my husband was admitted we had wanted to be married. They organised our wedding in 24 hours. WOW. Our day was truly amazing and magical. We couldnt have done anymore ourselves. We both smiled all day and we created beautiful memories for all the family at the most awful time. Paul passed away 2 weeks and 2 days later peacefully with me and his mam at his side. Paul told me that the staff were angels on earth and i totally agree. The staff were amazing. Thank you so much for giving us so many happy memories.

I am sure I am speaking on behalf of myself and all the family, that it is hard to put into words the gratitude we feel towards everyone at Alice house. My brother in law David Garrington has just spent his final weeks in the hospice. The love and support that was given to David and all the family is unmeasurable. We would like to thank every member of the team for the care that was given to David, as we could not see each and everyone of you. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts�xx

Although my dad only spent a week in the care unit, it was so obvious that everyone involved with his care are truly dedicated to their role. A wonderful place for anyone to spend their last days, I feel so blessed that dad made it there. I can't thank everyone enough for dads care and that shown to our family members too. You are, simply the best

Alice house Will always hold a very special place in my heart , my mam was a patient here for a short while , All staff do an amazing job and are so supportive and caring the place is spotless, I would definitely recommend alice house to anyone �

After an awful 10 days in hospital words will never be enough to express our overwhelming gratitude to the staff at Alice House for the support and care provided to our beloved Auntie Jennie in the last 2 days of her life. The most caring people we have ever had the privilege of meeting. Nothing was too much trouble. The homely touches - a fleecy blanket around her, a comfy recliner chair for us to rest on. Unlimited cups of tea and hugs from nurses. Having the doctor spend over an hour talking through everything with us when admitted. Also seeing her stay until past 8pm when her day ended at 5 o'clock. Such dedicated, gentle and attentive care with us involved in every decision. We will support the Hospice for the rest of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts Thank You. With love from Clare, Nicola & the family of Jennie Elliott xxx
