During the 18 months of mothers stay with you, I only ever saw from you and all your staff, the most sincere and affectionate care given, even though at times mother due to increasing pain may have been difficult or even trial some. To see staff attend to her throughout the course of the day was one thing, but to see the warmth and feeling displayed by staff before and after their shift is quite another. The observance of touching, holding hands, bending over to talk in her ear, to cry over and with her, was indeed touching. Additionally you and staff were never too preoccupied to give us attention when we needed to discuss matters related to my mother with you. Staff attendance to us was outstanding and I cannot speak highly enough to others of the over all experience we had. |
