St. Andrew'S Hospice

"I came to the Hospice and within two days, I was up and walking around. It was an absolute revelation to me; the change in medication, wonderful meals –meals that would make Gordon Ramsey look like an apprentice – and care and kindness on a level I’ve seldom seen. What astounded me was how you can get a mix of so many people who really do lovingly care and get them all in one place."
