We have the privilege of caring for many children, adults, and their families in the comfort of their own home and through our hospice services, Little Havens and Fair Havens.
Like many people, they had preconceptions of what hospice care meant. They have agreed to tell their story to you in the hope that it sheds some light on the reality of how hospice care can benefit families in the toughest of times, and overcome fears of what hospices are like.
"Wheeling into the beautiful environment of the new Fair Havens Hospice, an immediate sense of calm came over me.”
"Fulvio only spent a week at Fair Havens, but that was what he needed. They restored his trust and faith in asking for help."
“Little Havens takes some of the worries off me, they look after Edward doing all of his medical needs as well as making sure he is having fun."
"Little Havens understand Elijah's needs, they're enthusiastic to helping us get the best out of his life."
A family who made a donation to Little Havens in memory of their loving Grandparents, say they know how much the gift will mean to Little Havens.
"When I was placed on the bed at Fair Havens, I truly felt as if a weight had been lifted. I was comfortable straight away."
"I've visited various hospitals, private settings and care homes and I could never imagine a care environment being like this. "
"Since I've been here, it's totally different to what I expected. Death does happen, but there's so much more to this type of care."
"If you have any doubt about making a donation to Havens Hospices, please know the huge difference they have made to my life."
"I had heart palpitations on the drive to the hospice, but as soon as we arrived I knew it would be a fantastic experience for us."
"When you live with the daily fear that you’ll one day lose them, it’s impossible to not feel completely overwhelmed by the risks that Covid poses."
"Nothing is too much trouble. Even though they have to wear masks and aprons, they're doing it with a smile on their faces."
