Hospice in the Home: Abi Harris

Looking after people in their own homes gives them a forum to discuss their concerns and worries in a safe environment.

Being at home allows them to have their own relaxed space to have difficult conversations. We’re supporting people in their individual ways to be in the place they want to be at the end of their lives.

I enjoy meeting different people from different backgrounds and supporting people in their individual ways. It’s an honour to be invited into someone’s home and community and to listen to them.
