Crafted with Care: Our new Care Boxes for patients
At Rotherham Hospice, we are committed to providing compassionate care that extends beyond medical treatment. Today, we are excited to launch our new Care boxes, specially crafted to welcome our patients and serve as meaningful mementos for their loved ones.
As part of our ongoing commitment to person-centred care, our nursing staff have meticulously assembled each Care box. These boxes are more than just practical items; they embody our dedication to ensuring every patient feels comfortable and valued during their stay with us.
Jayne Lowe, Deputy Director of Clinical Services and Head of Patient Experience, expressed the importance of these Care boxes, stating, “This is just another way we go above and beyond for our patients and make sure their stay with us here at the Hospice is as comfortable and welcoming as possible.”
What's Inside?
Each Carebox contains carefully selected items designed to enhance comfort and promote relaxation:
- Charcoal infused loofah for gentle skin care
- Nail brush and hair comb for personal grooming
- Luxury soap, lotions, shower gel, and shampoo & conditioner for a pampering experience
- Soft flannel for everyday use
- Forget-me-not seeds to symbolize lasting memories
- A heartfelt poem to uplift spirits
- A relaxing colouring book and pencils for moments of tranquillity
Beyond the Present
Beyond their immediate use, these Care boxes serve another profound purpose. They can be transformed into memory boxes after the patient has passed away, becoming an important part of the bereavement journey for their loved ones. This transformation allows families and friends to gather meaningful memories and treasures that celebrate the life and legacy of their loved one.
Jayne Lowe emphasized, “Turning these Care boxes into memory boxes is an important step in your bereavement journey, helping you to collect meaningful memories of your loved ones.”
