My dad has recently had cancer and during this time we had limited but absolutely vital support from Kilbryde Hospice. Firstly in relation to care and expertise around cancer treatment, the service offered was outstanding.
We were due at Kilbryde for an introductory visit but within 20 minutes of visiting they had recognised how poorly my dad was and provided immediate support. This worsening condition hadn't been picked up by the community care teams but the expertise in Kilbryde spotted it immediately. We were directed to A&E when the staff had delivered all of the care that they could.
Another really important factor is the support programmes. My dad loved the hospice choir and we only wish we had more opportunity to use such services.
Kilbryde Hospice offers essential care and support that should be but isn't available in the NHS services.
In particular we would like to thank Margaret Mary and James for their care on the day. Even the reception staff showed care and compassion that we didn't receive elsewhere.
