In our Inpatient Unit Refurbishment Appeal, Sonia In our Inpatient Unit Refurbishment Appeal, Sonia speaks about the care provided by Oakhaven for her beloved husband Garry...

"The care he received there was just astonishing. There wasn't a detail missed, not a moment without a nurse checking Garry was OK, he was comfortable, his pillows were just right. We had all the family come in and visit him, he was never on his own - and they looked after us too. 

"It’s only when you seen this for yourself that you realise how incredibly lucky we are to have this amazing hospice to look after the people we love."
