🌼 Introducing… Jade & Adele 🌼
We’re proud to shine a light on two wonderful members of our Hospice at Home team.
💚 Jade – Health Care Assistant
💙 Adele – Registered Nurse
Together, they provide compassionate end‑of‑life care and support for patients and families in the comfort of their own homes. Their calm presence, expertise, and kindness make an enormous difference to the people we care for every day.
This is the first of several introductions we’ll be sharing, celebrating the incredible individuals behind our Hospice At Home service. The people who bring dignity, comfort, and reassurance to families across our community.
Stay tuned for more of our team over the coming weeks. 💚
