We know that being diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, or being frail and elderly, can be incredibly difficult and leave some people feeling very isolated.
Mountbatten can support you in many ways in living with your condition and helping you to come to terms with it. Our programme of activities and groups, mainly held in the John Cheverton Centre, are aimed at helping you to live well, supported by our team of Mountbatten Nurses, Carers and volunteers.
The John Cheverton Centre is open to everyone including our patients, their families, carers, friends and the general public. This wonderfully light building is a friendly and welcoming environment, where our volunteers will support you to make the most of your visit.
Use the options below to find out which activities are available to patients (referral only), and which are open to everyone including the general public.
