Dear Cheetahkh74,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — it truly helps us learn and improve. It’s heartening to hear that not only was your brother well cared for and kept informed, but that you, as a supportive family member, also felt considered throughout his care.

I will ensure your kind words are passed on to the team, and I wish your brother all the very best following the care he received.

Warm regards,

Kay
