Our lovely little friend was only meant to pop in for an hour at 9 to say hello, meet a few people, and didn't end up leaving until 1pm, it was a beautiful day <3

We'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in The Big Stoubridge Rubbish Hunt a couple of weeks ago (including the Brennan clan, pictured!)

Well done everyone <3

This is such an amazing place, it's a big help for those struggling to care for there loved one all on their own and the staff are just excellent. So friendly and compassionate, and they really get to know you and your loved one. I highly reccommend this place they took extra loving care looking after my Grandad and i can't thank them enough from me and the rest of My family. Xxx
So very thankful to all the staff caring for my mother-in-law Eileen Cooper we really do appreciate everything u do for her and for helping us too xxx
My very precious mom passed away at Mary Stevens last Wednesday. I arrived too late on Thursday but had the privilege of going to see where she died and with whom she spent a special day with each week.....I was amazed and so at peace after meeting the special ladies there who surrounded me with love and comfort. Knowing my mom passed without me was very hard, but knowing she passed in a place she loved surrounded by people she loved was so precious and I cannot thank you all enough. Thank you for the bottom of my heart xx
My mother was in here for about 4 months before she passed away.. My self and my family are so overwhelmed with the care and support my mom and ourselves received from the nurses and volunteers.. This place is amazing and I couldn't of wished for a better place for my mom to end her battle with cancer!! The respect and dignity my mom received was the best anyone could wish for and I will never ever forget it! My self and my family would like to thank everyone at Mary Stevens hospice for making us feel so welcome and making my moms last days so rememberable. Xxx
My little sister spent 11 days in Mary Stevens before she passed away in July of this year,
I can not thank the staff enough for the dedication and love they showed not only Elaine and her husband, but the family too
Beautiful place �
My husband (Tony) passed in your Hospice 3 weeks ago now. He was so comfortable and at peace there. He felt at ease from the minute he walked in. You are all angels - every one of you. Although my grief will go on and on i am happy in the knowledge that he went pain free & his last 10 days were made happy by you all. Thank you for that xx
My dad passed away in this amazing unit on 28th July 2013. He loved going to the day unit although he only managed 3 visits before being admitted. He felt so at ease here. ..so much so that this is when he gave up his fight..The staff were all amazing and such a comfort to dad and to us his family and are still in touch now....Thank you all for giving my dad a dignified passing xx
My dad (Terry) passed away here in December 2015. He had been a weekly visitor since March 2015. Everyone was so kind and considerate at such a hard time for me and my family. He passed away so peacefully exactly how us as family wanted. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
My Nan has been coming here for years once a week. She had been unwell over christmas and in and out of hospital for months. She came out of hospital last week and could not wait to come and have respite here. She came to you wednesday and she passed away peacefully on friday morning. She would not have wanted to be anywhere else and i truely believe she waited until she was here. Thankyou so so much for all you have done for her and for us as a family. We cannot thank you enough. Xxxx
My Dad peacefully passed away here yesterday and i can't thank the staff enough he was treated like royalty from the moment he went in. All the family was treated with so much love and I cant thank you enough. Bless you alll x
Mary stevens have the best caring staff.my husband was there in October 2015.we got married on the 24th and on the 30th he passed away.everyone was so thoughtful could not fault them.nothing was to much trouble.you all are really appreciated by many for all your hard work and dedication.thankyou all.x
Mary Stevens day centre is a great place to meet people in similar situations. The staff are very understanding,caring and always have a smile for you. If you need anything you can just ask. If you are in pain or are having problems with your condition they will either try to help if they can or get the doctor. You can either join in with activities or just sit and relax even fall asleep if you want to. They have massages, exercises,therapies. If you need a bath or hair wash they will do their best to accommodate you. You can also have lunch there. I find it is a terrific place to go to once a week. As it gets me out of the house giving my husband who is my carer a chance to have a day to himself.
I work as a volunteer on the hospice bereavement support team with a wonderful group of people. We are there for families and friends of current patients or patients who have passed away and we are also there for the fantastic staff and for each other.
The holistic approach of the hospice is truly remarkable. If you are either a Day Unit patient, a patient on the hospice In Unit or a visitor (family members or friends) you will be treated with respect there is always someone to talk to never feel afraid to approach a member of staff or a volunteer.
I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to your colleagues for the smooth journey you provided to my wife Sally. The moment we met at the hospital everything that we wanted you delivered. The care and dedication shown was exceptional for which I will always be grateful.
God bless you all
Can not praise this small unit up enough for what they do just wished my late wife could have made it to them. We have sponsored them for many years now and I will carry on like my late wife did god bless you all for the work you do
As a family (Charlene Howell) we want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the care and compassion you all brought to Charlene, Phil, their baby boys and the rest of our family.
All the nurses, support staff and volunteers were simply exceptional, caring, supportive, and compassionate from the moment Charlene arrived for her final days. Nothing was too much trouble. Phil has asked for donations at the funeral to go to your hospice as a thank you and to help support the amazing work you all do.
From the bottom of our hearts.....thank you all.
Amazing place, thank you to all the amazing staff for taking care of my brother in law.
He was only with you a few days but your care certainly made a difficult time easier to cope with. Thank you again xx
A year ago on 25th March 2016 we lost my wonderful husband Ivan Partridge,I know if Ivan could speak he would tell everyone how wonderful Mary Stevens cared for him the last week of his life.The staff from the minute we arrived were angels and I'm sure he thought he had arrived in heaven there and then,they bathed him,massaged him and made him laugh � when he passed he was kept comfortable,for me it was all I wanted no suffering.Can never thank this wonderful place enough �
