Care Opinion

Very helpful and reassuring

"Very helpful and reassuring"

About: Adult Health & Support Services / Community Stroke Neuro Rehabilitation Team

(as a relative),

After my mother had a stroke she was seen at home by Gillian from the Stroke & Neuro team. This was a huge help to mum and the family as Gillian’s advice and reassurance was invaluable.

We had no experience of what to expect after a stroke so found the information a great source of comfort and took confidence from the advice/assessments made.

Seeing Gillian so soon after being released from hospital gave my mother the ck defence to try to do more things than she would have tried otherwise as having spoken to Gillian she knew it was ok.

We also visited the stroke physio in Udston as part of the team after stroke care and she was also very helpful and reassuring, giving mum exercises to strengthen her muscles.  

Thank you again

Hello Kittybella

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell your and your mum's story on Care Opinion.I really appreciate you taking the time to do so especially during such a challenging time.

It is wonderful to hear of the positive experience your mum has had both with Gillian the Occupational Therapist and the Physiotherapy team as well. I am so glad that you feel this input has made a real difference for your mum. I will make sure this feedback gets back to Gillian and the Physiotherapy team. Feedback from those who use our services is the most important of all to us and this will mean a lot to them.

I wish both you and your mum well and hope that she continues to make progress.

Kind regards

Catherine
