Approximately 2 weeks ago I had my first introduction to the Hospital At Home Team when they arrived at The Millcroft Care Home to administer medical care to my mother. She had recently been discharged from SWAH after a short illness & did not want to return to hospital.
This team arrived promptly, took the time to assess my mum & administer care & medication that she needed. They were professional, friendly, kept me fully informed & the care my mum received was absolutely brilliant.
We need this service in our community especially for the elderly who want to remain in their own environment and out of hospital. I can’t praise this team enough.
Last weekend we had to contact them again as my mum became unwell. It was such a relief for her & myself that the Hospital At Home Team had capacity & once again came to her aide. Another wonderful experience for mum & us. She recovered so quickly & once again the care she received was amazing.
I have mentioned this to people I meet & work with & must tell you that all comments have been extremely positive. This team have restored my faith in the NHS as it had dwindled considerably the past few months. Please continue to fund this amazing team as it really is a service we can’t do without in our community. It is the way forward for care at home. Please accept this as my recognition & thanks for this amazing team. Continue to do what you do as it is definitely working.
