Lincoln Hospice Cuts Vital Dementia Care by March 2026
30 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Dementia support service closing due to financial unsustainability.
- The Admiral Nurse Service will cease operations in March 2026.
- Two specialist nurses have been made redundant by the closure.
St Barnabas Hospice in Lincoln is set to close its Admiral Nurse Service, a specialized dementia support program, by March 2026. This closure is attributed to the service no longer being financially viable for the hospice. The Admiral Nurses, funded by St Barnabas since 2022 after initial support from Dementia UK, offer essential advice and aid to those affected by dementia. Regrettably, the decision has led to the redundancy of two dedicated nurses. The hospice stated that this difficult choice was made after a thorough review to ensure the long-term sustainability of its operations, emphasizing that hospice care for dementia patients with palliative needs will continue.
