My husband was referred by local hospice to the community nursing team when discharged home for end of life care at home ,following severe haemorrhage from stomach following diagnosis of cancer .
The care received made my life as my husband's carer much easier .
He looked forward to their visits .
He was visited weekly to check if there were any problems , and nurses liaised with his GP if there was a problem ( much easier than me trying to speak to GP ).
I was always able to contact them if I had any concerns .
When his condition deteriorated and I called, the team appeared with under an hour to put in a syringe driver and catheterise him .
Having direct access to the team made the situation far less stressful.
I consider myself lucky to have had their support ( a long journey of 8 months ).
