Patient stories

...the Hospice has become my safe place – somewhere with incredible staff where I can go and get support and be ill without people staring.

I didn’t for one minute think the kind of support I’ve had would ever be in place. People know about the care for patients, but nobody realises what’s available to the people left behind

I think the word I’d use for the support I’ve received is grateful. This place is brilliant.

If anyone was in any way unsure about staying at the Hospice, I would say there’s nothing to worry about. Everybody is so friendly and happy: you’re treated like royalty.

I think back to my first thoughts and how wrong they were and if anyone else was feeling that way or scared about what to expect I’d tell them don’t be daft, get in there!
