The Cynthia Spencer Hospice resumes face-to-face care for the first time since 2020.
A day hospice forced to close its doors due to Covid-19 has resumed face-to-face care.Earlier this month it fully re-introduced its physical wellbeing services for people living in the community.
The hospice said providing online services had been "really challenging" and took "a lot of adjustment".Geoff Foster was diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic and attends the well-being centre one day a week Geoff Foster, 73, who is terminally ill with cancer, started using the hospice's services during lockdown."I wasn't really sure what to expect," Mr Foster said."But it wasn't like that at all."It's so much better talking in person as we are now, face-to-face, although the Zoom sessions were good, this is much better."
Mr Foster said he looked forward to his visits, the walks around the hospice garden and the chats with tea and cake afterwards."It's opened up a new part of my life."
