My late husband David was a day care patient at St Ann’s Hospice before he died from motor neurone disease. He could not praise the staff enough, for they really made a difference to the quality of his life.Linda Conneely

Help with looking after a pet

When we become ill it can become difficult to find the energy and the time to give pets the care and attention that is needed.

It can be upsetting to realise that we are no longer able to give good care to a much loved pet.  However, if you are looking towards seeking help with exercising a dog, or perhaps considering short or long term care elsewhere for a pet it’s worth trying:

The Cinnamon Trust
 www.cinnamon.org.uk
This is a national charity for older people with pets.

RSPCA
 www.rspca.org.uk
It’s worth getting in touch with your local RSPCA by going to this site and putting in your postcode.
