My husband is in his late 80s and has cancer. He knelt down to pick up a bottle he dropped out of bed. I was still asleep. He got stuck and my daughter and I couldn't lift him. We telephoned for help and Colin and Maddie from the Falls and Frailty team came very promptly.
They were brilliant. Not only did they get him downstairs for us but assessed our needs and supplied us with a commode and 2 walking frames.
They didn't rush us and were very kind and we never felt anything was a trouble.
I have to say everyone from the palliative team, doctor and nurses couldn't have done more for us since his diagnosis.
