Testimonials
| When Mum was sick the transition from rest home to hospital was so smooth. The respect of Mum and how this was handled was brilliant. Well done team. Ms T Thanks for all the great communication while we were on holiday. It was a great comfort to know how things were and we were kept in the loop. MC I just wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful care and service you showed to my extended family recently when my Uncle’s father was admitted to your care home. They said you came in on a Saturday and spent over an hour doing the enquiry with them – you were calm, empathetic and supportive, reassured them, answered all their questions, and made sure they had time to process all you shared with them. Since his admission, my Uncle said how very kind you were in reassuring and empathising with him about his grief about his dad being in care, and that you came up with a care home-based solution for him about a favourite activity he used to do with his dad. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate this. The family dynamics are ‘interesting’ and you have helped them all navigate this difficult time with care and professionalism. Kind regards Karry I am EPOA for my mother and would like to say that when we first met the manager we were under a great deal of stress and pressure to find a suitable care home. Sue couldn't have been more helpful, taking the stress away by organizing transport for Mum from the hospital (at 92 & frail getting in and out of cares is not easy) as well as having her room all set up, medications all sorted etc. While she was at Eventhorpe we could not fault the respect given to Mum or the care & attention she received. I was continually informed by phone of any changes along with the reasons for the changes. She was taken for outings and enjoyed all the activities and knitting club. Mum was treated with respect and my husband & I can not thank Sue and her team enough for the wonderful care of a much loved Mother & Grandmother. With kind regards and many thanks Maurice & Leonie |
