Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of St Luke's Hospice on Care Opinion. At the hospice we recognise and value the role of family members in supporting their loved ones. We also recognise the challenges it can bring. Part of our role at the hospice is to support family members and those caring for people living with a life limiting illness. We are pleased to hear that your coming to the hospice has a positive benefit for yourself and your wife. I will ensure the complementary therapists and physiotherapy team are made aware of how helpful you feel the massage and physio has been.
