I want to thank everyone at Highgrove, Stapehill for looking after my mum, Mary, during the last year of her life. The quality of care she received was exceptional and beyond our expectations. The individual attention she received enabled her to build friendships which were valuable in keeping her happy with a sense of 'belonging'. Highgrove became her home and the team became her family. Many of the team impressed me with their ability and willingness to engage with Mary and make her feel special. A special thank you goes to the team members directly involved during her last few days, rescuing her from hospital when her health failed despite the doctors strike and their reluctance to move her, her carers were determined not to take no for an answer and got her home. At the end the Highgrove team were so compassionate giving me the support I needed and memories of peace and tranquility that will always remain.
We are deeply honoured that your mum, Mary, was part of our Highgrove family during the last year of her life. Your words about the care she received,...
