Milford Haven Town Council supports Pembrokeshire Hospice at Home charity.
For a second time, Milford Haven Town Council have chosen to support The Paul Sartori Foundation after an application for financial assistance was submitted to its members. The application was focused on a contribution towards the core running costs in delivering the Day & Night Nursing Care Service that the charity provides in Milford Haven. Deputy Mayor, Councillor William Elliot, said that the Town Council were more than happy to help.
Paul Sartori is a registered charity providing quality end of life care and a range of free services to families living in Pembrokeshire. Specialised supportive care and advice is available for patients, family members and carers operating an open referral system. Working to an exceptionally high standard, not only in home nursing care but a wide range of other services, most of which can be delivered directly into the patient’s own homes. The mission is “to provide sustainable services that promote good end of life care in Pembrokeshire.”
During November 2023, the Hands-On Nursing team cared for 25 patients within the Milford Haven area. This support enabled patients to be cared for at home, with dignity, to help with their independence and to support their wish to die at home. Funding such as this generously given by Milford Haven Town Council also helps with volunteering opportunities in the Milford Haven Sartori Store, as well as hosting community events in the store to help connections and partnerships within the community there.
A quote from a family relative who received help from the services the Paul Sartori Foundation provide families within our community states:
“Without the Paul Sartori team, we would never have managed my husbands’ wishes to die at home. From start to finish the staff were an elite and unique team. We felt very safe and comfortable with each member of the team, they were a blessing! Keep up the brilliant work everyone and thank you for your dignity shown. We will always be grateful for your help!”
All Community or Town Councils in Pembrokeshire are invited to contribute to services provided in all areas of Pembrokeshire, including: Day & Night Hands-on Nursing Care, Equipment Loan, Complementary Therapy, Counselling Service, Physiotherapy, Future Care Planning and Training/Education.
