On Saturday 9th October 2021 my father fell and I could not move him -and a wonderful ambulance crew attended - they got my dad moved but with such great care and concern for his dignity it made such a stressful scenario so much better.
They helped me get him cleaned up and dressed so when he had to go into hospital he was going in a much better state.
They were warm and amazing with my mother, their friendly banter calming her down and their professionalism reassuring both of us he was in really good hands. With my father they were so caring - making sure he wasn't in pain , making sure he was comfortable and communicating with him even when he couldn't communicate back.
I also want to mention the paramedic who phoned me to triage and set my expectations of time frame and also arranged this crew to come out. I really wish I could remember their names to thank them personally but I hope this can be directed to them,
"Amazing , caring and supportive."
