"I was overwhelmed with the services provided."

About: Cloughreagh House

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

Before coming to Cloughreagh I had been in Daisy Hill Hospital, I was a bit frightened to be going to Cloughreagh as I only new it as an old persons home.  But after being in Cloughreagh I must say that I was overwhelmed with the services provided.

All the staff in Cloughreagh are superb. I was always treated in a courteous manner and was involved in decisions about my care. The home environment is fantastic . The food in Cloughreagh was excellent  and there was always a choice of what to have . The Kitchen staff where very accommodating if you did not like what was on the Menu and would offer alternatives. 

While in Cloughreagh I was seen by the Physio and OT teams I found this very useful getting me ready for returning home . My overall opinion of my stay in Cloughreagh was brilliant it was like home from home I can't think of anything that could have been improved the service was excellent.
