Hide AdSince its launch, the Hospice at Home service has provided end of life care for more than 600 patients.
“At first, we were providing care between 8.30am and 9pm, 365 days a year,” said Linda. “But when a patient is receiving end of life care at home, the most frightening time for them - and their families - is overnight. So, from April, we extended our service to provide care 24 hours a day.”
