This year our Nurses for Night Care programme is celebrating its 10th year. We have come a long way in the past decade thanks to your support and the support of people like you, who have enabled us to continue this vital service. Our objective is to ensure that everyone who wants to die at home throughout Ireland is granted their final wish.
So far in 2016 we have had 414 referrals across Ireland and we have delivered 1,066 nights of care. We are only halfway through the year and already we have provided 60% of last year’s total number of nights (1,734). The increase in demand is stretching our resources, and we expect to have at least another 450 requests this year. On behalf of all the families in need of this vital service – thank you.
Whilst it is an ongoing service, we view each person we care for as an individual and hope to raise enough money to provide support for everyone who needs our help. If you would like to receive further information on our Nurses for Night Care programme, please do get in touch at info@hospicefoundation.ie.
