"End of Life Care"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Palliative Care General practices in Forth Valley

(as a relative),

Having just said a final farewell to my mother, we wanted to write an appreciation of the care and support we received.  The team at our medical practice, the Medical and District Nurse Team by their care, swift decision making and understanding, supported our request to keep her at home for the care she needed.  On going support during the period we were caring for Mum guided our approach and reassured us.   We received timely, effective and reassuring care from the Forth Valley Palliative care team.  Our local pharmacy were efficient and caring and dove tailed their service with the local medical support. 

To be able to care for Mum at home was such a gift, and we are very thankful to the teams who made this possible.

Dear SisterT

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at what must be a very sad and difficult time for you are your family. Please may I take this time to pass on my condolences to you and your family.

It is so good to hear that you were given the support to be able to care for your Mum at home, as you say this was a "gift" especially during these times.

I will share your feedback with the staff, who I know will be pleased to hear such thoughtful words. Our staff strive to ensure they provide the best possible care in the end of life.

Kindest regards
