Patient Stories

“I didn’t know the Hospice offered dementia care groups and now I don’t know what I’d do without them. The team have almost become like family to me.”

“From the first moment that I walked in it just hit me how much of a relaxing and welcoming environment it is. It doesn’t feel like a sad place. It feels alive. A happy, calm place."

“The District Nurse visits my home weekly to take a blood test to see if I will need a transfusion. If the numbers are low, I’ll have either one or two bags transfused at the Hospice. If things are looking ok, I’ll come along and have a reiki session to help me relax.”

Living Well Centre guest Vera tells us about the Creative Writing group she attends and what she enjoys about Hospice care.

“The best way to explain what coming to the Hospice is like, is receiving an invisible cuddle as soon as you walk through the door. It hasn’t taken me long to refer to this place as ‘home’."

"The children really enjoyed it, and got involved in the different activities, and games. The parents also joined in on the fun, and it was great to see everybody chatting and laughing amongst one another. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly with everyone asking when the next one would be."

"The Community Outreach project has offered practical, social, and emotional opportunities for myself, as a Carer, and my husband, for whom I care."
