Review of Mallard House, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire by Liz W (Wife of former resident)
Monday 1 January 1900
I wanted to write briefly just to thank you personally for the tremendous support you have given me over the years. I have nothing but praise for all the staff at Mallard House who have done so much to make John's life as meaningful as it possibly could be in the circumstances. But I also remember all too clearly how wonderful you were in supporting me at a time when I had really lost all hope, and when my contact with reality had become very marginal. I didn't find any guide books that could help me when I was at my most desolate but, whether you realise it or not, your confident knowledge, strength and experience were immensely helpful to me - from the small things like teaching me to cup my hands round John's face to make him feel more secure, to the frightening stuff like how to save myself from having to sell the flat to finance John's continuing care. Thank you so very much for it all. You should be so proud of PJ Care. I think it's an outstanding operation. One tends only to hear of the horrific examples of care organisations and I wish more people who face the dreadful circumstances I had to deal with could know about, and be reassured, that places like Mallard House exist. Never fear, I am doing my utmost to spread the word. I would really like to do something nice for the staff on Oakley ward and would value your advice once again. Could I donate £1000 towards a party for them all? John was always up for a good time and I know he would think it was a good idea. But if you don't think that's good, is there something I could buy for the staff that would make their working, or break times, a bit more comfortable or pleasurable? Do let me know what you think.
