Hi all,
Just wanted to let you all know how great the staff are at Mum's care home here in Hereford. It isn't private but run by a company for the Local Authority. Mum only has to pay a small contribution towards her stay (less than £600 per month).
We all worry ourselves silly, when having to even consider putting our loved ones into a care home, but I couldn't have found a better one even if I was paying out £1000s.
This week five carers have taken four residents (my mum being one of them) to the seaside for a holiday (Mon to Fri) They have rented a special home from the Lions Charity and were all taken to the seaside by the Lions minibus.
One carer is allocated to one resident, with a spare carer in tow. Today I received a lovely postcard signed by Mum, saying how they were all enjoying themselves, despite the great british weather!
There is some much thought put into keeping the residents occupied and happy in this home. I am thinking of putting my name of their waiting list
Just thought it was nice to share something positive with you all, and especially for ones who are dreading the thought of care homes.
Has anyone else had such good experiences?
Pauline
