A few issues surrounding problems with peg feed.

Response from Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Thank you for your feedback. We are aware there were some issues regarding the PEG feeding. Some additional training has been put into place to ensure staff are more familiar with PEG feeding and how to manage the PEG.

Review of Cynthia Spencer Hospice

I believe the doctor and staff are making a holistic approach to m condition. This works well when there is openness and understanding about the best treatment going forward.

Suggested improvements
Still cannot quite work out way observation, medication and needs all come at the great time.

Response from Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Thank you for your feedback. The team try hard to ensure that medication rounds do not clash with when patients are having meals, unfortunately this is not always possible. Some of our patients take medications more regularly through the day and therefore there will at times be clashes. We have fed back to the team to be more cautious about medications timings clashing with when patients are eating and drinking.

My sister's stay with Cynthia Spencer was superb. The Doctor saw the terrible plight we were in and his response quite literally put us on the right path. My sister's stay there was everything and more. Highly recommend. We continue to give her the best possible care both welfare and emotional every day.

Review of Hospice @ Home written by a family member
12th November 2021


Caring and understanding to my husband and myself in our hours great each visit enabled me to have sometime to myself to do 'me' things, without feeling selfish and knowing that my husband was being well looked after. He enjoyed each visit too and me both had an alloted time to almost forget about his illness and feel 'normal'.

Suggested improvements
Personally I do not think you could improve on the service you give, and I hope you can continue for years to come./nIt is such a special and imagine service, much appreciatedly my husband and myself, thank you.
