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.

After a lengthy decision process, it has been agreed in principle that Teesside Hospice and Butterwick Hospice will merge to provide people across the Tees Valley and County Durham with access to better end of life care and ensure long-term sustainability of services.
We’re excited to share that our first ever Superstore is officially open!
