Excerpt
My name is Erika and I have been a registered nurse for many years. My passion is good Palliative Care. I am currently a volunteer at Anam Cara Hospice Geelong, and truly believe in dignity and comfort for all. I have been involved since the first thought of setting up Anam Cara as a “Homelike” Hospice, and am proud of what Anam Cara offers the local community of Geelong. I assist with craft and create our unique personal hand prints for each of our Day Hospice guests. Working with guests and families with “Life Limiting Illness” is such an honour.
Abstract
Author: Erika Pickering
Caring for someone you love with a “Life Limiting Illness” is a challenge and at times you need a brief break. Anam Cara Hospice was first considered out of a dream, by several committed Palliative Care people in Geelong. These Hospice staff were doing home visits, and could see a need for respite for the carer. They worked diligently with the Geelong community and were successful in starting this beautiful Homelike Hospice in 2007.
