Weldmar Hospicecare

Our speaker tonight was Fran Gleason from Weldmar Hospicecare.


“When I looked around the room,

I saw everyone listening with their hearts!"

 

We had a particularly good turnout at our meeting tonight. Rotarians and friends, it seems, we’re keen to learn more about the services provided by this end-of-life support team.

There’s an interesting account about how Weldmar got started and why it’s called that, but with only one web page, I will try to explain what we all felt.

  • As well as clinical and nursing care, Weldmar offers practical and emotional support to patients and those who are important to them.
  • 83% of the care provided is at the home of the patients being supported.
  • Towards the end of life, those in care are helped to make the most of every day.

 

At the end of the meeting, we all went home to reflect on what our hearts had heard. “These are people that care”
