A few months ago my elderly mum, who has dementia, suffered a hip break as a result of a fall.
This resulted in an extended hospital stay and discharge under the care of the HAT team who as part of mum’s care referred her onto the IRT for further physio.
She was placed under the care of Claire one of the physios from the Integrated Rehab Team. From the outset Claire has been an amazing support both to mum and myself as we worked together to maximise mum’s rehabilitation. Her guidance and advice has supported us to to know how to carry out activities safely.
She took time to understand what was important to mum and advised us appropriately on ways we could achieve this. Importantly, Claire as a person was at all times friendly, patient and very understanding and approachable . I felt relaxed about asking her anything with regards to this area of mum’s care.
This service has provided an invaluable support to mum and I and I can’t thank Claire and this service enough
"This service has provided an invaluable support"
