St. Peter’s is set back from the main road and it’s quiet. The building itself is older and a bit shabby – but it’s very clean and the family areas are well-appointed. There are treats for the patients and for visiting children, and there is a kitchen stocked with coffee and tea. There are even free-to-use laundry machines perfect for the tired and drained people with relatives in palliative are. So, yes: my father-in-law is on the palliative care wing and the staff there have been, almost without exception, incredibly kind and attentive. I realized that’s part of what one should get in a hospice-type situation, but I appreciated that the staff at St. Peter’s takes this to heart. My father-in-law’s final days are clearly in good hands, and I am grateful for the facility.
