“Abby loved the Children’s Services. She loved all the different rooms, especially the play and music rooms, as well the library where she loved listening to stories. She loved her art sessions too, our house is full of her paintings and she would often paint pictures to give to people as gifts. It was great visiting as a family too as the support was there for all of us; Abby’s sister Phoebe particularly enjoyed playing in the soft play area!”

Hospice care helped Sara and her family spend time making special memories with Abby. Here at Dougie Mac, we’re proud to provide personalised and tailored care which is possible thanks to gifts left in Wills.

Together with your support, we can protect the future of hospice care.

Did you know...Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are not the same?

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a group of conditions that affect memory, thinking and behaviour. Alzheimer’s disease is just one specific type of dementia, but there are other types of dementia too including vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia.

Each type can have different causes, symptoms and progression. But no matter what type of dementia you or someone you know is facing, we can help.

Dougie Mac. Always here for you, now for dementia too.

Our Story

Dougie Mac is the only adult hospice delivering excellent care for people approaching the end of their lives in North Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding villages.

The hospice was established in 1973 and has grown over the years not only in size but also in the range and amount of care services available for local people. Our consultant led multi-disciplinary clinical team provide specialist palliative/end of life care for people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses; as well as offering help and support for their families and carers. We do not charge for the care and help we provide, we rely on 75% of our income coming from voluntary donations each year with the rest provided by some statutory funding.

We have no association with any other organisation, even those national charities who share a similar name. Our ability to meet the needs of the community we serve is very dependent on the support of local people, groups, businesses and organisations. Our team of nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants, volunteers, chaplains, social workers, therapists, and support staff care for all the needs of our patients facing a terminal illness: physical, emotional, social and spiritual. Together we aim to help patients both at home and in the hospice to achieve the very best quality of life, whatever their life expectancy, days, weeks or months.
