Your Thoughts on Galway Hospice

Read what our previous patients and their loved ones thought about our services.

When the sun is shining – you took me outside for a few minutes – that was memorable each time.

Compassion, empathy, understanding, not rushed and very attentive

A patient in Community Palliative Care

From the front door in….. Every member of hospice team were smiling, gentle, helpful, hands on, every minute day and night

From Patient Survey 2019

My wife has been loud in her praise of the professionals from your Foundation who have visited her here and in other care settings. On every occasion these visits left her with a more positive mind set

From husband (submitted in Patient Survey 2019)

Meeting the homecare nurse, she was so kind and supported and advised us every step on our journey

From family member

Continue to greet people with a smile and a word of encouragement from staff and volunteers. It all matters and helps.

We hope the care and support we’ve provided to you, and the people close to you, met your needs and expectations.
