Marvellous experience

"Marvellous experience"

About: Midlothian Community Hospital / Hospital @ Home (Midlothian)

(as a service user),

Due to ill health for a lot of my adult life I have spent some time in hospital separated from my family and I have hated it, plus it always seemed to elongate my bouts of illness.

This time when I went to my GP dreading I might be hospitalised, I was instead put under the care of hospital at home Midlothian. The whole experience was marvellous. Not only did the ever cheerful nurses help with my physical health problems but their chatty, caring attitude helped my mental health improve.

I couldn't have asked for better care from the whole team and can't believe how lucky I have been to have had the support from such a great team. Thank you all.

P.S. My husband also greatly benefitted from hospital at home as he didn't have the pressure of hospital visits to see me.
