How will we support you?

You looked after my mum Mary Corby you are a fabulous team, the very best. Because of my experience at that very sad time l am now working at a Hospice and loving it . Thank you

You looked after my granny many years ago, also been amazing with many other people I no. There will never be enough stars for this charity as it’s the most caring and thoughtful place I have come across. All we can do is thank you for all your work you have done and still doing.

You looked after my Dad in his last few days and always made sure his needs were met with such care, dignity, love and understanding for which we will all be very grateful. Its been nearly 5 years now but you are all held with the greatest respect in our hearts. Thankyou to everyone whether you are a cleaner, nurse, caterer, doctor, volunteer, fundraiser and administrator you all do a wonderful job.

They were the kindest most considerate people i have ever meet they cared for my mum in such a wonderful way and looked after all the family at the same time x

These ladies have made one the hardest weeks of my family's life so much easier, nothing as too much to ask of them. Beautiful ladies inside and out. Thank you so much, love from Margaret Rattigan's family x X.

The pallative team at home here are the best. Not only did they look after my Stewart but all of the family.they were stalwart in helping Stew to end his days at home with us. They helped us too when he sadly lost his fight. Words cannot express our gratitude enough. Bless you all xxx

The hospice is a beautiful place where nothing is ever to much trouble and everyone is so kind, my amazing dad spent the last few weeks of his life there and was so so relaxed we didn't call it a hospice we called it a hotel! Words can't describe how very great fun I am to all the staff for making our time as calm relaxed and as special as if could of been xxxx

The care and support my grandad and family have received at home from the staff of St Barnabas has been absolutely amazing over the past week. Friendly, caring, understanding and supportive - thank you!

The Hospice changed our lives . Mum was there over 6 weeks and the love and care you showed her during this time was amazing . I can never thank you enough as it was a very special time for us and you even allowed us to bring in Annie the naughty old English sheepdog

Our dear dad was care at the hospice in Lincoln ,The care was wonderful and the care they gave my twin sister and myself and families was outstanding ,we hold very dear to us the time we had just his daughters and all the care we had after he had passed Jane Postma and family and Julie Marshall and family Thank you all xx

My mum spent around 4 weeks there before she lost her fight. The staff and volunteers couldn't have done more to make her time there comfortable. Even with visitors, nothing is too much trouble. I'd especially like to thank Jenny Myers, Annette Green, Kim Gabbitas and Daniel Booth. Annette and Jenny sat and listened to me when I was sat with my mum and I can't ever thank you enough.

My father is currently here. They really are amazing genuine kind people. If there was anywhere i want my loved ones to be cared for it is here. !!!! Thankyou to all the staff and volunteers you are amazing �

Mum wanted to stay at home and the lovely ppl allowed that to happen. The support they have to my dad over this sad and stressful time could not be faulted in anyway.

If there was more stars I would have still put the top amount I honestly can't rate these kind, genuine, beautiful souls highly enough they helped me through some of the darkest hours in my life and even made me smile when I was not sure I could remember how. I'll never forget you. You restored my faith that their are still good people out there Thank you just does not seem to do it justice x

I would like to say a big thank you to the nurses that looked after my mum at home, they gave my mum dignity, understanding and care in her last few days.

I cannot praise all of the staff at the Hospice enough, Every member of staff that looked after my friend until she sadly passed away, was kind, compassionate and caring. They made her last days as comfortable as possible and she said that they made it feel "like home". Thank you from the bottom of my heart xxx

Amazing place and staff. Looked after my Mum over 20 years ago and still grateful now x

A wonderful caring organisation that dedicated staff looked after my Father and me in his last months. I will never forget what you did and for my Mother 3 years prior and I will strive to pay if forward.... Thank you �

A truly amazing place and staff. My wife Carole was admitted recently and the care given to both of us by everyone was outstanding they have so much time to talk and reassure while In their care. Sadly she passed away a few days ago but it was so peaceful and attention throughout by the staff cannot be praised more highly. A very big thank you all.
