As soon as I walked in the door everyone was so helpful and any worries I had started to feel smaller. Everyone I met, from the receptionists to the doctors, the family support team to the care team, the complementary therapists, to the occupational therapists were wonderful. Everyone has shown me such care in everything they do. It really does make such a difference to how I feel. On my first Inpatient stay a doctor brought me a cup of tea, it really surprised me but showed how everyone works as one big team.
I have stayed at the hospice twice now for pain management. When I arrived both times I was in such pain. The nurses, doctors, and therapists were fantastic and couldn’t do more for me, everything I wanted they provided. I’ve had neck massages to help alleviate pain, the occupational therapist has been helping me manage my symptoms and the family support team are helping me to come to terms with my illness. Everyone has been so respectful of my feelings and what I need, it has made me feel so much more comfortable. They have given me that peace of mind that they will be there if I need them in the future.
