Fern Centre accommodation

About: North Devon District Hospital / Fern Centre Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Paediatrics

(as a parent/guardian),

Our daughter was transferred here from Exeter RD&E because if was felt her care here would be better, due to over-crowding and staffing constraints at RD&E (her care has been brilliant).

That meant me wife and I had to alternate visits because we have an elder daughter at home who requires our care.

We live 1.5 hours away and both work.

It simply could not have been possible to provide our daughter with parental support when she most needed it- early mornings, late afternoons, and before bedtime without this facility, allowing us to sleep over.

It has been an absolute god send. We would not have coped without it!

Thank you very much!!

Dear ProudParent

Thank you for your really positive feedback and being so appreciative of this fantastic service.

I know it has been difficult for you but so pleased that we were able to make the situation slightly better here for you at the Fern Centre.

Best wishes
