“Sadly, Dad declined quickly but remained adamant that he wanted to die at home. The team at Prospect Hospice made that happen – they came to us with everything we would need. They were simply brilliant. When the end came, they treated us all with experience, respect and dignity, knowing when to be there and when to leave us as a family. It was so comforting to know that we weren’t alone and that they were there for all of us.”
