"Wonderful care given to my elderly mother"

Last Monday my mother had a terrible fall whilst on her way to the opticians with my father. After receiving initial treatment in A&E, she was kept in EAU for three further nights after a CT scan showed minor bleeds on the brain.

My mother is 86 and is beyond the onset stage of Alzheimer's. She is chirpy and usually easy going but being admitted to hospital was not easy. She had moments where her mood dropped, becoming very anxious and confused as to where she was. This once happened as I was leaving and when I alerted the nurse she did not hesitate to step in. When I returned my mother had recovered her spirits and was settled. I cannot thank the hospital and its staff enough for the excellent concern, treatment and care they gave my mother and their willingness to talk to me and discuss her progress.
