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.
"It was so hard in the beginning, but slowly Fair Havens started to unlock a part of me which showed I could have a better life."
“As soon as we stepped into the hospice, the nurses were absolute angels to Ray, myself and my daughter."
"Fair Havens is like the sea. If you don't dip your toe in, you don't realise how warm the water is."
“They looked after me just as much as they looked after her. I know she would have been over the moon with it, the way it was.”
“At Fair Havens, Dad wasn't just a patient, he was 'Fred' and care was personalised to him."
"The carers from Fair Havens Hospice at Home not only made her comfortable, but Chrissie enjoyed their company."
“Fair Havens saved me and got me to where I am now”
"I didn't realise hospices offered that care and she come out feeling so much better because she was so well looked after.”
