"Outstanding Care"

Our mother was admitted to Girvan Community Hospital Davidson Ward recently. Our mother received a palliative care diagnosis only six weeks previously to admission to hospital. During her last few weeks at home she received outstanding care from the Girvan District Nurses. Special thanks to Team Leader Susan, Charge Nurse Gillian and Staff Nurse Laura who provided compassionate, person centred care and she developed a special fondness and bond with each of them. She was provided with excellent support from Colin and Angela from the Hospice team. As a family we would like to thank the doctors from the health centre for the care she received since her poor prognosis.

The staff at Davidson Ward Girvan Community Hospital  (Every Grade of Staff) treated our mother in her last few days of life with the dignity and respect she deserved. Our mother made the choice to go into hospital for pain control and on the first morning after admission she advised us she would like to stay on the ward as the staff had treated her so kindly and she felt so comfortable in their care. This meant so much to us as a family.

Our mother in the last five days of life was given outstanding care by all the staff and our family were provided with great support during this difficult time. As a family we would like to thank everyone who cared for our mother.
