My 81 year old Daddy started to deteriorate from day 10-12 of a positive COVID diagnosis. We contacted his local GP who referred him immediately to the Southern Trust Acute Care at Home team. Within 1 hour we had 2 nurses and a registrar assessing my Daddy at home. Over the next 3 days my Dad had seen Nurses, a Registrar and a Consultant and had a chest X-ray. I cannot fault this service or praise the team enough. Myself and my brothers where extremely worried and thought for sure Dad would have to be admitted to hospital. As a very active and independent man I don't think he would have coped very well in hospital. The fact that he had 1st rate medical care within his own home, I believe, contributed to how quickly he started to recover.
