My husband had terminal cancer and was given an end of life diagnosis in September 2023 he subsequently died in February 2024.
Initially Joan, Gillian and Donna supported every couple of weeks by calling in and checking we were both managing ok and that all the correct medicine was in place.
But in January 2024 my husband deteriorated quickly and required daily nursing from the team. They organised the equipment he needed to get him home from hospital quickly. They called every morning to administer his medication together with all other aspects of care, they were a tremendous support to me liaising with doctors and the hospice to get the best care for my husband.
They surpassed all my expectations and are absolutely fabulous coming out regularly when I required help outside of the morning visit. They would call chemists when we needed drugs urgently, nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely cared so much. They are a wonderful caring team honestly the best medical professionals I have met during my husbands 9 year battle. I will always be grateful and will never forget those amazing nurses. Thank you.
