Elsworth House Patient Hostel
Addenbrookes and Sanctuary Management recently undertook a joint venture to provide appropriate overnight accommodation for patients living outside the hospitals catchment area within in the specialties of transplant, oncology, ophthalmology and neurosciences.
Patient safety is one of the Trust's priorities and therefore potential occupants of the hostel will be screened by specified clinical criteria to ensure that appropriate people are approached. Patients who stay within this new facility will be able to book in the evening prior to their appointment, or stay after, and relax before attending their appointment the following day or making their way home. With the provision of this service it is intended that the patient care pathways will improve and ease pressure on bed occupancy. How do you get there?Elsworth house is positioned within the staff residences blocks adjacent to the multi storey car park and signposted from Keith Day road. Contact Details:

Level four of the Hostel is now open to accept its first occupants. Together levels three and four give a total of eight flats. The flats will have a dedicated warden responsible for assisting the patients with checking in and making them feel comfortable throughout there stay.
