Eastern Bays Hospice Trust TA Dove Hospice & Wellness

"In 2012 my dear husband Len was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and a journey of nine years battling this disease began.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Many years of chemotherapy started our journey and we were ever so thankful to be recommended by the Leukaemia Foundation to contact Dove House.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It changed our lives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The support and care of Len and myself was nothing short of outstanding.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A visit to Dove House was the one thing on our very limited social calendar that was so eagerly looked forward to. It was the people involved in Dove House that were so impressive. Gentle, kind, and supportive souls are found as you enter the door.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There is something regarding the serenity of the building, you leave all your insecurities outside and are enveloped with kindness and peacefulness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A calm haven is one way to describe it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Respite care was something Len looked forward to, the staff so knowledgeable and the care was exemplary, I have nothing but praise for them all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am so thankful to all the volunteers that enable this wonderful facility to carry on all of them giving unselfishly of their time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am currently involved with the Bereavement group at Dove House now that Len has recently passed away and these wonderful sessions have been extremely beneficial to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Fondest love to you all."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
