St Helena Hospice in Colchester

A truly amazing place! The Doctors, Nurses, Admin, canteen staff and all the volunteers here are truly inspiring. A huge heartfelt Thankyou to you all for making my Mums (Christine) palliative care so peaceful, dignified and caring and for looking after my Dad (Claude) whilst he spent every last minute with Mum.With fondest wishesSherry

This hospice is amazing! My mum is currently here and the staff are so nice! I love the gardens too they are so calming and the basket swing is my favourite 💕

What a terrible place to spend your last day's, a close friend of mine currently in there , can't make decisions due to brain tumour, when I visited he had his feet out through bottom bars , I had to call staff in to move him , legs painful where he'd been left so long, said yes to lunch and then no , they took that as a no so no lunch given , haven't got the staff apparently to help feed him , he also has bed sores on feet and arms , catheta bag left so long it was fit to burst and causing stomach pain , mouth so dry where no fluids given , so hungry he ate 3 slices of cake and sweets whilst I was there , yet 4 staff sitting at desks in the foyer as I came in and still there when I left , the cleaners are more help , it's not a hospice it's belson , I wouldn't subject my dog to it , no personal care given for four days , emergency mat on floor in case of a fall switched off , I could go on and on , disgusting .

The short time my husband was there he was treated with dignity and care thankyou all to all the staff who made his last few days there at ease with himself and his family xxx

They really looked after my sister during her final days, all the staff are very supportive and kind.

Took really good care of my dad in his last days. Very grateful

Very friendly and welcoming. They do a lot of brilliant work
