"The care is outstanding."

About: St Michael's Hospital / General medicine West Cornwall Hospital (Penzance) / Urgent Treatment Centre

(as a relative),

My Dad is my Mums full time Carer who sadly is end of life care.

Dad recently fell and broke his hip. He is 91 and great for his age. He was admitted to A and E and then transferred to Trauma 2 Ward. He had surgery which went well. The care that he has received is outstanding, as when I have rung up nothing is too much effort, especially when I have spoken to them about how Mum is. The work load they have under normal circumstances is manic but with COVID they are all doing a wonderful job and can’t thank them enough.

Dad was transferred to St Michael’s at Hayle and settled in well for the rest of his recovery. He faced timed me today with the help of one of the nurses, so kind. I have become Mums full time Carer, however with the help of the district nurses have sorted out Marie Curie to do over night sits on some evenings so I can get some rest. Well done Treliske as always outstanding care.

Hi Thankful 100,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of your fathers care. All the teams involved take great pride in their work and I am pleased that your father is having a good experience, despite the challenges that comes with Covid.

Take care and we hope to have your father and mother reunited as soon as is safe to do so!

Many thanks
