"It’s the best care in the world you can have." – Jeff, one of our lovely IPU patients.

When Jeff first heard the word hospice, he was apprehensive. “It was the term ‘end of life’ that scared me,” he said. “But my opinion on hospice care has completely changed.”

After being admitted for pain management for his mesothelioma, Jeff’s experience over the last two weeks has been, in his own words, marvellous.

“They said I’d be looked after, that my pain would be controlled, and they’ve certainly done that. The nurses are wonderful. They follow up on everything they can do to make me feel better. I just want to give them a big cuddle.

As long as these people are doing what they can for me, I’m really looking ahead and feeling more positive.”

At Teesside Hospice, we’re here to provide more than just care, we’re here to help people feel comforted, uplifted and supported.
