About: St Lukes Hospice

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed last year 2018. I had an operation. I had a serious infection affecting bones. Been coming to Hospice for a year. I love meeting the people each week. The staff are kind and helpful. Activities are fun.

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of St Luke's Hospice on Care Opinion. We are pleased to hear that you find the activities are fun. For some people living with a life limiting illness lacking motivation, interest or energy to engage in activities is quite common. One of the aims of the hospice activities co-ordinator is to ensure the activities she plans are varied, stimulating and fun. The activities can be a distraction, they encourage peer support and help people to live well with their illness. I will pass on your comments to the staff.
