About us

Ardgowan Hospice exists to provide specialist symptom management and terminal care for people living with a life limiting illness in Inverclyde, whilst supporting their families and carers. Patients are involved with their personal plan of care, which is tailored to meet their needs.

Our key values:

• we treat our patients with unconditional regard

• we preserve quality of life, dignity and autonomy

• we provide a safe, pleasant and accepting environment

• we promote individualised and holistic care

• we affirm and support family and friends during the illness and in their bereavement

• we work as a multi-disciplinary team

• we promote open communications at all levels within and outwith the Hospice

• we foster growth and development by continued education of staff and volunteers

• we promote palliative care principles in a wider care setting

• we enhance standards of excellence by ongoing review and openess to change

• we ensure efficient resource management in all departments

Our boundaries are coterminous with Inverclyde Council – from Wemyss Bay in the west to Finlaystone in the east and Kilmacolm in the south.
