Mr Pierre-Francois Unger, Conseiller d’Etat, Department of Regional Affairs, Economy and Health, together with Mr Adrien Bron, Director General of Health, Geneva, honoured La Maison de Tara with a visit on 3 July 2012. After a tour of the house our distinguished guests stayed for tea in the garden and an in depth discussion with foundation trustees, the management committee, volunteers and the mother of one of our residents on issues related to death and dying, our work and societal changes. Their very positive conclusions about our work can be read in the section ‘Testimonials’.
