Hospice = free 5* hotel

1 minute read time.

Well dad is all settled in the hospice.  The ambulance came to pick him up yesterday and they wouldnt let mum go with him so mum was really upset called me and I was upset, I think it might have dawned on her that he wont be home now as she was telling me before he was picked up that he might be in for a week and then home, I tried to gently tell her then felt awful when she called me in tears.  I left work and met her to go in and see him, when we got there he was sitting in a really comfortable electric reclining chair.  The hospice is beautiful, really peaceful, they have gardens in it and there is like french doors out from the room that dad is in and there is squirrels everywhere they have set up bird tables with food for them to climb up to get.  We was getting his stuff put away and he has one of that patientline tvs over his bed, I went to get a card and they told me it was free there so I got it set up for him and some puddings in his fridge at the side of the bed then he said to us you can go now!!  So we knew he was settled.

    Oh Terri, what a relief that you Dad feels comfortable there, that really is the most important thing.

    Hopefully your Mum will have been reassured of how well Dad will be cared for and can relax a little (easier said than done I imagine) when she can't be there.

    Love & Strength

    Hi Teri,

    I am so glad your Dad has found peace in the hospice.  My husband only went in there so him to stabliise his breathing.  They are so kind, caring and peaceful.

    Take care

    Love and hugs
