My father who was 86yrs old contracted Covid 19 at home. He was admitted to our local hospital in Daisy Hill Newry Co Down NI. where he rapidly deteriorated. As he suffered from Vascular dementia. I was allowed to spend his final 48 hours with him. The nursing, medical and support staff of Respiratory 2, (Female Surgical ward), although under enormous pressures were sensitive, kind and supportive to us both throughout. This made a very difficult and sad situation a lot easier for us as a family, knowing that we could be with him. The kindness of these staff should be recognised nationally as well as locally as the super human beings they are.
Thank you feels so inadequate but I do wish to thank you all.
I was made very welcome by all staff and when dad passed away, staff stayed in the room with me for support.
Regards
"Excellent care in hospital"
