My father was residing in a nursing home and his health was deteriorating. The GP came to see him and made a referral to the Hospital at Home team. Dr Todd took the time to explain to us professionally and with compassion that my dad was approaching end of life. He told us what the team could do to help dad and a plan was put in place.
The nurses and HCAs involved were absolutely amazing, treating dad with dignity and respect and keeping us involved in all decisions regarding my dad's care. I would like to thank Barry, Julie, Edel, Shauna, Kerry, Donall, Geraldine and Concepta for the excellent care that every one of them provided to my dad.
Before the team became involved I felt alone and very confused about what was actually wrong with dad and what the plan for his care would be. I felt that Dr Todd and his team took this responsibility off me and provided dad with the best care available.
