The generosity of a Scenic Rim business will make end of life care at QEII Hospital more special and family centred.
Kalbar Sunflowers has kindly donated a significant sum to acquire a cuddle bed for palliative care patients at QEII Hospital.
The bed allows family members and loved ones of palliative patients to lay in bed with the patient in the final weeks and days and can even be moved out into the garden to spend time in nature or have their beloved four-legged friends be with them as well.
QEII Hospital Fund Community Partnerships Manager Ellen Dann said the charity was immensely proud to have worked with the community to provide what will be a much valued and used addition to the care offered at QEII Hospital.
“We were so honoured to work with Jen from Kalbar Sunflowers who were keen to support the hospital’s amazing staff to provide even greater care,” she said.
“Because they chose the QEII Hospital Fund as their place to give and say thank you for the care provided by the incredible staff of QEII, others throughout the wider community that relies on the Hospital will benefit for decades to come.”
“Just being able to lay next to, cuddle and be close to someone who is in the final stages of their life can mean the world to both the patient and those they cherish, we really can’t thank them enough for making this happen for the community.”
Kalbar Sunflowers also helped to facilitate a cuddle bed being donated to Beaudesert Hospital thanks to the generosity of a local Scenic Rim family.
