We appreciate all your kind and generous comments to thank a nurse on Thursday, 12th May, International Nurses Day: we really appreciate each of your thoughts. Three of our nurses were also given an extra special treat when volunteer Glenn Barker took them out for a short ride in his Morgan sportscar, more often seen out and about with Day Hospice patients. The day also involved lots of cake at our tea party!
Here are just some of the wonderful comments you shared with us on social media:
The staff are amazing. My father and aunt spent their last days there. So supportive to patient and family.

I can’t thank you enough for all you did for my brother Terry Dagley over the many years that he had been coming to you. He looked forward to his day with you and always knew you would be there for him at the end. I’m sure you helped him last so long.
The place is beautiful and the staff are so lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. They are relaxed, supportive and patient. The facilities are perfect. Dad had a jacuzzi bath, his first bath in 18mths and he LOVED IT! They had all the equipment to make it comfortable and effortless for him. He’s in there for a few days for a symptom management assessment, he was worried at first but it’s really lifted his spirits. He looks so much happier already.
I love being a Nurse because I can be a teacher as well as a care giver. There are so many roles that I can be to a person to really be able to make a positive difference to their life. Having the opportunity to advocate for people and to be able to provide them comfort and establish their trust is incredible. This chance to help people is extremely rewarding.
