DonateYour support ensures that more people can spend their final days in the place they love most – home.
When Joe was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she had one wish, to stay at home, surrounded by her loved ones. Thanks to Compton Care, she was able to do just that. Our dedicated nurses provided expert care, comfort, and support, allowing Joe to make precious memories with her family in her final days.
But this vital care is only possible because of the generosity of people like you. By donating today, you can ensure more families receive expert care at home, where they feel safest and most loved.
Joe’s youngest daughter, Iris, turned six the day before Joe passed away. Joe was determined to make that birthday special, and with Compton’s help, she did. The very next day, with all of her family around her, Joe died peacefully at home, just as she wished.
Sandra, Joe’s mom, shared what this meant to their family:
Having Compton Care by our side meant we didn’t feel alone. They guided us through every step, making sure Joe was comfortable, cared for, and most importantly, at home where she belonged. Even after she passed, Compton was there for us, supporting Iris and Joe’s other children as they come to terms with their loss.
You can hear more from Sandra in the video at the top of this page on the impact of Compton’s care at home.
Every day, families, like Joe’s, face similar challenges across our community. Our specialist teams go beyond our Inpatient Unit, delivering care to people in their own homes, supporting families in care facilities, and providing guidance through our Advice & Referral Line.
Last year alone:
- We made over 6,000 home visits, ensuring patients could remain where they felt safest
- 97% of patients avoided hospital admission, staying in their preferred place of care
- 98% of patients received care in their chosen setting at the end of their lives
- Our Advice & Referral Line handled more than 14,000 calls, offering crucial guidance to patients and families
- Our bereavement services supported more than 500 families, ensuring they didn’t face grief alone
- We provided more than 1,200 counselling sessions, helping loved ones cope with loss and emotional distress
This care is only possible because of the kindness of people like you. Your donation today will help ensure that more families receive the support they need, when and where they need it most.
On April 7th, Joe would have turned 45. In her memory, please help us continue this vital work. Every donation makes a difference.
