A man, smiing with a grey moustache and hair is standing beside a Strathcarron nurse, also smiling with short grey hair. The caption reads, you can be supported in the hospice. Then go home. Then a quote "thanks to this remarkable place, I'm living my life well in the time I have left. Not just existing.
