"My mothers final journey"

My 90year old mother was admitted to the A and E department at 11pm on Tuesday 28th April 2015. The corridor we had to stay with her in until 1.30am was awful, cold drab and no adequate seating for us. The staff that attended my mother on A and E were very nice to her and to us, the awful thing was that there is no privacy, therefore other patients could hear what we were saying to the medical staff and vice versa. On the morning of 29th she was transferred to F2 elderly care ward, the doctors and all the staff here were fantastic, showing so much care and kindness to my mother and ourselves, I cannot think of one single thing that was not good on this ward. Sadly my mother passed away on F2 on the morning of the 9th May 2015, we had been able to be with her as a family from 2am that morning until she passed away at 8.15am, the staff on duty that night were fantastic and the staff that came on duty the next morning were very kind, the only thing that would have been nicer and I am sure that other families would say the same, it would have been much nicer if when its known that a patient is going to die that they should be transferred to a side ward, for their dignity, for the family members and above all for the other patients that are on the ward, just because they are elderly does not mean that all of them are senile which was the case that morning which I felt very sad about for the rest of the patients.
