Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services
Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services
At the core of Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services is the desire to consistently provide the best in specialist and person centred care for our patients and their families. We cannot do this alone and are extremely grateful to our wonderful volunteers and our generous donors us support us.
Courses, seminars and workshops are provided in our dedicated Education & Research Centre.
Research is undertaken to understand the needs of our patients and families and how we can best meet those needs.
“Thank you (Mary Aikenhead ward) from the bottom of our hearts for the endless, compassionate care you showed our mother. You made such an impact on her life and stepped up to that role when we couldn’t be there during lockdown, something we’ll always be thankful for. You were always so supportive, kind, loving and empathetic to both us and Mam…She was always so happy with her friends around her…You made her room a home and treated her like family.”
“They have been fabulous looking after our nanny for four or five years now. We’d be lost without them. The care they give our nanny is outstanding… they are part of our family too. Want to thank all the staff and nurses in St Benedict’s (Anna Gaynor House) ward from the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much.”
“After Dad agreed to go to the Hospice it changed everything. It felt like a cosy and reassuring home. A place of living, not dying. Dad was immediately calmer. He was treated with such dignity and respect. And he got first-class care. He loved the banter with the staff and we got to know them all so well.”
“The nurses that came to our home were wonder workers. They quietly and efficiently took all the weight off our shoulders. They allowed me to be his daughter again, not his carer…. It’s such a social and healing place. A place you go to live, not die.”
“It works miracles on me and I am a different person when I leave CRU. I don’t think you will ever find a place that treats the elderly so well.”
“I was a lot younger than every other patient in the RMDU but everyone was so kind and friendly. I still think of everyone regularly because I’m so grateful for all the help and support they gave me – between the doctors, physiotherapists, the nurses, occupational therapists and everyone else – the list would be so long. It was definitely one of the hardest times in my life but I’m full of gratitude when I think of all the help everyone gave me in OLH&CS.”
“It’s a strange thing to say, but even walking in here, the welcoming energy feels so uplifting, unlike any other place he has been. Knowing that he is happy and cared for means everything to us. The nurses even declared he was the King of the Hospice and made him a crown which he loves.”
