Meet Lauren
Lauren's journey into hospice care was deeply personal, sparked by the loss of her father almost 10 years ago. Lauren is driven by a desire to make a difference.
What's one thing you wish everyone knew about hospice care?
"Before I started working at the hospice, I would automatically think of death or the end, or sadness. Actually, it's not always at the end of someone's life that they come here. Sometimes they come for pain management and to get symptoms under control and return home afterwards."
Tell us about a memorable moment?
"We looked after a lovely lady who loved Abba and Mamma Mia. Her daughter had arranged a celebration in our sanctuary here, which overlooks the lake. Her daughter dressed up as a singer from Abba and got a friend to join her – and we all sang along to Mamma Mia! Microphones, glitz, glamour and bubbles - it was a very special time."
