Compassionate accompaniment until one’s last breath

In brief

St. Peter’s Residence in Vauxhall, London, provides an alternative to assisted suicide by offering round-the-clock care and accompaniment for the elderly until death. The Little Sisters of the Poor run the care home, which the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales describes as a gold standard facility.

This model of care comes as members of Parliament consider legalizing assisted suicide. St. Peter’s Residence focuses on providing compassionate support for residents during their final stages of life.
