"Because of this service, we were able to fulfil Grandads wishes"

About: Older People’s Services / Hospital at Home Southern Sector

(as a relative),

In January, my  grandfather who is in his late nineties became ill. We contacted our GP who organised Hospital at Home for us. We will be forever grateful to the team, not only for the care they gave Grandad but for the support they were to us as a family.

Everyone on the team was so good, but 2 people who stood out to us were Dr Irinie and the nurse Claire. These 2 ladies went above and beyond in keeping Grandad comfortable and answering our endless questions.

This service is 1 of a kind. Grandad never wanted to go to hospital, never mind die in hospital. Because of this service, we were able to fulfil Grandads wishes in keeping him comfortable at home to the very end.

We will never forget the care and compassion. Thank you Hospital at Home Team

Hello JU68NNE,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such heartfelt feedback. We have very fond memories of your grandad during the short time under the care of the team. Your Grandads wishes were so important to us and we feel very privileged to help fulfill his wishes to remain at home in his final days.

Dr Irina and myself really appreciate your very kind words and we were very thankful that we were there to support you all at this very difficult time.

Best Wishes

Claire Aiken
