Care for her during that time varied massively upon the management skills and staff at the time.
In August 2018 Mum was diagnosed with an aneurysm, spotted by staff.
In October 2018 the aneurysm started weeping.
Mum remained in her own bed at York House and cared for with dignity and compassion, as were we the relatives until Mum passed away.
We will be eternally grateful to the staff and now the management for the care received at the end of Mum's life.
Staff are approachable and friendly. My only complaint is patients are given the option to stay in bed and not encouraged to have some normality. I.e. Wash, dress and sit in the lounge....
Staff are approachable and friendly. My only complaint is patients are given the option to stay in bed and not encouraged to have some normality. I.e. Wash, dress and sit in the lounge. Activities to stimulate are lacking also but I understand from new management, issues are to be addressed.
