We have sadly had to place our face to face groups on hold due to the rise in COVID-19 cases. We understand there may be some uncertainty and we would like to reassure everyone that we are still only a phone call away. Our phones will be manned Monday to Friday, from 10.00 until 16.00. This hasn’t been an easy decision but it is our aim to keep everyone as safe as possible. We hope it won’t be too long before we can welcome you back through our doors.
We appreciate this is a very difficult situation and we are doing our best to minimise disruption. Find out more here.
Rowans Living Well Centre supports people who live in Portsmouth and South East Hampshire who are living with a life-limiting and progressive illness. We support people aged 18 and above, regardless of diagnosis and extend our support to their friends and family members during any stage of the illness, including bereavement.
Our team of nurses, complementary therapists and trained volunteers can offer you guidance and support. You can also access virtual appointments and virtual groups.
Please call us on 023 9224 8011 to find out more. No referral is needed.
Please select an option below to see some examples of the classes and treatments that are available at the Living Well Centre (subject to Government Guidelines).
When you contact us, we can provide information, inform you of other services that may help you and design a timetable of activities that can help you to live well with your illness.
If you have nursing needs and want to attend the Centre for part of a day or a full day, we can assess whether we can meet these needs. After this assessment, we will discuss a programme of care with you, which could include a referral to other team members, such as a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, chaplain or social worker.
Here are some of the activities that might be available to you at the Living Well Centre:
We understand that looking after someone with an illness can be emotionally and physically difficult. We provide a safe and caring environment for the person who is unwell which will allow you some time to yourself. You are also welcome to attend the Centre with them or access one of the services that have been designed with carers in mind.
You may want to make an appointment with one of our complementary therapists or attend one of our carers support groups, which take place regularly throughout the month. These groups are an opportunity for you to meet other people who are caring for someone and spend some time in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.
We run a dedicated support service for ex Forces Personnel who are living with or caring for someone with a serious or life-limiting illness, or are recently bereaved.
Our wide range of services, including a dedicated Veteran Companions buddy service, can help you find answers.
| A weekly social group takes place on Mondays from 10:30 – 11:30 for any veterans/ ex-Service Personnel who are living with a serious or life-limiting illness where you can seek advice, support or just a friendly chat with others in the same situation. |

“I want people to know how wonderful this place is. It is more than the support you get, it’s the warm welcome, it’s the whole ambiance of the place and the attitude of the staff.”
