"My Time Out"

About: St Lukes Hospice

(as a service user),

I found out I was ill 15 years ago. I was diagnosed with COPD. I was treated at Northwick Park Hospital. I have been coming to the Hospice for a year. I love the company here. Everyone is very nice and staff are kind. It is nice to get out of my house. The food is really nice too. I have tried the back massage.

I would like to see some relaxation classes. Also a chiropodist would be good.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of St Luke's Hospice with Care Opinion. Your feedback is very important to us.

From your comment I can see that you enjoy the company and it is nice to get out of the house. The team at St Luke's Hospice recognise that for some people living with an incurable illness lacking energy and tiredness can lead to social isolation. The Woodgrange Centre day services at St Luke's Hospice provides a space where people can come together to socialise, share experiences and support each other during what is an uncertain time.

Thank you for sharing your suggestions regarding chiropodist and relaxation classes. 2020 will be an exciting time for the Woodgrange Centre, we will be looking at the current services we provide and with the help of people like you aim to add to and improve upon what we already have. I will add the suggestion of chiropody to our list. On Thursday afternoons we have a drop in sound therapy relaxation class. We recognise that some people find it difficult to attend so we have added it to our Wednesday and Friday activities monthly. I will speak to our activities co-ordinator and explore the possibility of adding in some more relaxation classes to the activities calendar.

I will pass on your comments to the rest of the team
