Jill’s presence brings comfort and reassurance during some of life’s most difficult times.
"Lucy consistently provides outstanding care for palliative patients within our community. She consistently receives positive feedback from families, some referring to her as ‘an angel’, and describe the care she delivers to be kind, compassionate, caring, and that they are forever grateful for her care and support in their time of need.
"Lucy always goes above and beyond, and when visiting patients, she provides detailed and proactive care and considers every aspect of care they may be needed for each visit. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and our patients are very lucky to have a nurse like Lucy caring for them.
