Case study
Thornbury was asked to respond quickly, on the same day, to ensure the safe and proper discharge of a teenage boy requiring urgent end-of-life care. The boy presented with challenging behaviour, and no other agency was willing or able to step in to help. Fortunately, Thornbury nursing staff were there in time to deliver the family’s wish to have their son at home.
