I am an experienced Director in an Acute Hospital Trust, I therefore felt suitably qualified in being able to recognise what good quality care would look like. I was wrong. The care given to my father by the remarkable team surpassed any expectations I could have had.

Without exception, they didn’t just care for him as we all aspire to do, they cared for him with profound love and compassion as if he were their own father. They enabled him not only to die with dignity and respect but with absolutely no fear or concern, such was his confidence in the team and the love extended to him.

I’m sure we would all hope we are lucky enough to meet the end of our journey in such loving and comforting circumstances, and as his family we are so deeply grateful for what they did for him, and us.
