Kirkwood Hospice
Kirkwood Hospice is a place where adults with advanced progressive illnesses receive care free of charge, from diagnosis to the end of life and at all times respecting their individual needs and wishes. Care and support is also provided for their family members, friends, and carers, both during illness and after death. The hospice improves care for everyone affected by a life-limiting illness, through education, training, and partnership with others.
Flexiform and Asgard are proud to support Kirkwood Hospice and hope to maintain the excellent relationship they have over the years to come.
