"Amazing care"

My father spent around two and a half months on Grant Ward at Ards Community Hospital. We couldn't be more grateful for the care he received. Everyone was responsive, caring, loving, kind, and thoughtful.

We all visited a lot and there are lots of us! But the staff were always welcoming and friendly, and gave us feedback on my father every time. There was full involvement, even though Dad was in his late nineties and not very responsive they still gave him full care and ensured he always had the best care available.

We wanted to get him home but we felt there was never any pressure from them to get him home and free up a bed. They were always really invested in his and Mum's experience and making it as positive as possible. They were trying to do right by them both at all times.

We'd like to thank everyone who gave Dad such great care. Special thanks to Consultant Rachel, who we really appreciated phoned us when Dad passed. And to Karen who gave us a hug each and every time we visited. And to Grainne, Rebecca, Lyne, Dr Cory, Paula and everyone else. We couldn't be more grateful.
