Sobell House
We provide compassionate care to people in Oxfordshire facing life-limiting illness, and support to their family and friends.
What we offer
Founded in 1976, Sobell House was one of the UK’s earliest modern hospices to exist. We help people to live well for as long as they can, and, when the time comes, help them have a ‘good death’.
The heart of our care takes place at our hospice in Oxford, but most of our care is provided within Oxford’s hospitals or to patients at home.
We aim to ensure that excellent palliative and end-of-life care is available to everybody in our community who needs it. Every year, we care for over 5,000 people and their loved ones.
