About Being at Home
"Home is where you feel safest, most relaxed, comfortable and happy. It's where you most want to stay when you're ill. IRHH made this possible, helping with the things I couldn't manage for myself."
"Amazing, heart-warming care from everyone. I am so grateful I was able to keep my husband at home throughout. Everyone on the team that helped us was a very special person."
"I didn't want to admit that I was in pain, because I thought I would have to go to hospital and I didn't want to leave my home. The IRHH nurse assured me that they could look after me here, and asked me where it hurt. When I told her, she said she could arrange to bring medicines to me and she did so later that day. I was so relieved and grateful."
"My husband's breathing became erratic, so I phoned my IRHH nurse at 2.30am, and she came immediately. She warned me that he was very ill and likely to die soon. She reassured me that she would stay as long as I needed. He died peacefully an hour later and she helped me to do all that was necessary. She sat with me and let me talk, until my daughter arrived at 5am. After she went home, she informed her colleagues who would be working the rest of that day, so that they and our doctor could support us."
