"My Experience of Admiral Nurses"

About: Specialist Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Services / The Admiral Nurses Worcestershire

(as a carer),

From the very beginning, Alice struck exactly the right tone—warm, understanding, and genuinely interested in helping me through what has been one of the most emotionally complex and challenging times of my life. 

Navigating the world of dementia care, from understanding the condition itself to making deeply personal decisions about nursing home placements and dealing with the psychological impact it had on my mum and myself, was overwhelming at times. But Alice was a constant, reassuring presence. 

She offered not only a wealth of knowledge and practical advice, especially around the often confusing topic of care funding, but also the kind of emotional support that made me feel truly looked after and understood.

I felt that she was walking alongside me, not just advising from a distance. Her empathy, clarity, and compassion made an enormous difference—and on top of all that, she’s simply a jolly lovely too. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and ally on this journey.  Thank you Alice!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback.

I am so sorry to hear that you have had such a challenging journey. It sounds as though the process of navigating the care system and making decisions for your mum has been really difficult for you.

I am so pleased to hear that Alice was able to join you on this journey and as you say, provide you with an 'ally'. It is so lovely to hear that the support she gave has made such a difference and has been a comfort to you. I am sure Alice will really appreciate this lovely feedback when it is passed to her.

Thank you again.
