"District Nursing Team Largs"

My mum was receiving palliative care having being diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer. She wanted to be at home at the end of her life which was also my dad’s wish. My sister and I were supported incredibly by the district nursing team, without whom we absolutely would not have managed to care for my mum at home as she wished. The care and attention shown by the team was incredible especially the way the absorbed the time demand required to support my mum seamlessly in response to her changing needs, in addition to the rest of their community caseload, never giving any sense of the time pressures we know they must have been under but always going the extra mile to ensure my mum was comfortable. This often meant several visits a day and it was obvious that at times members of the team were working well beyond the end of their working day to make sure that my mum had what she needed before they went home. The quality of the nursing care they offered was outstanding, as was the care and compassion shown to my parents and us throughout. I was amazed that in spite of services in the community and resources being so stretched, such a quality of service is still being delivered and that is testament only to the very hard work, professionalism and values of the local district team who go the extra mile mile to care for those who depend of their care. What a tremendous asset they are to the local community in Largs.
