My husband's care

"My husband's care"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Young Onset Dementia Service

(as a carer),

With this covid 19 my husband who has Frontal Temporal dementia has had really good support from his nurse ringing every week making sure he is ok.

To his consultant ringing to make sure we are both ok.

With me his wife (carer) never mind speaking to the consultant and his nurse I have had my peer support worker ring, text, send e-mails and video call me.

This has been really good for my husband and myself never mind all the help and advice they have been giving us, just to here that friendly voice and telling someone your worries and they give you that reassurance.

These services are amazing and we really appreciate this brilliant team of people never mind being there when live was normal but even more appreciated during this scary time with the lock down.

Thank you you are all Amazing

Hello, my name is Jane Danforth. My role involves helping our service users, volunteers and staff to understand that Notts Healthcare wants to hear stories about our services. We reply to every story and it really helps us to improve what we do, how we do it and to hear about what works well too.

What a wonderful story to read. You didn't say where you received your service (department) from?

I want to make sure that the staff from our services get to read just how much it means to you to have the reassurance of our services.

We are going through unusual times, and you are right, it is scary. To hear how services have support you both through this time is heartening.

Carers Week is coming up soon and we will be sharing stories like yours with other carers who I know will appreciate reading them and it may inspire others to seek support.

Please reply to me. Was there someone specific you would like to thank?

With very best wishes to you and your husband.

Keep looking forward with hope

Keep safe and well

Jane
