My mum was diagnosed with stomach cancer, her wish was to remain at home until she passed away. The District Nursing Team at Gourock Health Centre went above and beyond to keep her comfortable.
They visited daily, on some days more often if needed and at any hour of the day. It was very comforting to us as a family to know that we had such professional responsive support and this allowed us to care for our mum at home. They always came in with a smile, caring and compassionate, nothing was a problem. They came so quickly when my mum passed and they were such a great support to our family. We cant praise or thank them enough.
