Our mum was a resident for 3 years in Deanston care home. As mum entered the end stages of her journey with Alzheimer's disease, we received a call to say mum had taken ill, paramedics on site, then mum received the last rights as we thought she would pass away that day, mum lasted 10 nights/11 days.
Myself, sister, brother and other members of our family took turns at staying overnight and the care extended to us was so thoughtful and really made a difference.
For us we knew this would be where our mum would pass away, mums wishes and every aspect of those final days and moments were managed so carefully and respectfully. Everything was peaceful and we got to spend as much time together as we needed.
Every single member of staff, could not have been more kind, caring, compassionate and inclusive. I cannot thank or praise every member of this incredible team enough.
Except the MANAGER who never communicated with us before, during or after mums passing. Formal complaint upheld.
