I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for ensuring my mum receives the highest quality of care everyone deserves at the end of life. Every carer who has supported my mum has been lovely, but Yvonne and Andy in particular have been amazing and have shown my mum so much dignity and respect. They assisted me to advocate on my mums behalf to ensure she had appropriate medical assistance and have been so understanding of our families emotions, whilst dealing with my mother being at end stage of life. I have confidence that the rest of the care my mum receives will continue to be of the highest quality and that is very important to me. I know personally that care services are very stretched just now but each time the carers visit, we never feel they are rushed and they treat my mum as if they would their own family. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for making the hardest experience of my life so much easier.
