We’re delighted to announce that Lakeland Care has joined St Mary’s Hospice’s “Compassionate Companies” initiative — a meaningful partnership that reflects our shared values of dignity, compassion, and community.
Founded in Ulverston, we’ve been supporting people across South Cumbria, including Ulverston, Millom and Barrow, with high-quality home care services since 2008. For us, this partnership is more than symbolic — it’s a natural extension of the work we do every day, including supporting people at the most important stage of life: end of life care.
Supporting People Through Hospice Discharge and End of Life Care at Home
At Lakeland Care, we often provide care for individuals who are being discharged from hospice or are preparing to receive end of life care at home. This is an incredibly important and delicate time, and we are committed to ensuring people feel safe, supported, and surrounded by dignity — whether they need a few hours of support each day, 24/7 home care, or live-in care.
We work closely with families, GPs, district nurses, and organisations like St Mary’s Hospice to provide personalised care plans that meet each individual’s needs. Whether it’s managing medication, helping with personal care, or simply being there for comfort and reassurance, our dedicated carers are by your side every step of the way.
A Personal Message from Our CEO, Marge Smyth
Our CEO, Marge Smyth, who was born and raised in Ulverston, shared her thoughts on this special partnership:
“The hospice is an extremely valuable local resource which we are very fortunate to have in the area. St Mary’s has always been a cause close to our hearts, as time and again we see, first-hand, the difference their care and compassion makes to our clients and their families as they face incredibly difficult times. We are proud and privileged to be able to support such an amazing organisation.”
Why Compassionate Care Matters
Whether you’re navigating palliative care, considering options after a hospital or hospice discharge, or exploring 24-hour care at home for a loved one, having the right support in place is essential. We believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and cared for — especially when facing complex health needs or the final stages of life.
Becoming a Compassionate Company allows us to give back to a service we see the impact of every day. We are truly grateful for the incredible work that St Mary’s Hospice does in our community and proud to stand alongside them in caring for people with compassion and integrity.
