Story told by carer of female patient aged 80+ from Derry/Londonderry area
Staff were very informative and explained the treatment clearly. It was so important that the 89 year old patient remained at home where her husband and family could help with giving support to her emotionally and physically. I do not think this lady would have survived being take to hospital as she had advanced dementia and the current pressures on A&E could not have delivered the individual care needed. Acute Care at Home is a fantastic arrangement and I feel it is saving lives!
