My husband has a deteriorating condition. Up until Christmas 2016, we
have managed as I did the caring. I was increasingly tired and in Dec we
both suffered from severe flu which worsened his condition. Also I fell
and sustained injuries so I could not lift things. The GP contacted the
emergency care team who phoned immediately and within 2 days we had care
in place twice each day even in the holiday period. That has continued
for a month and we are very grateful for the care he receives. Most
carers have been first class and all are friendly. As we were on
emergency care, arrival times have varied but this was to be expected.
We hope this will stabilise now we are to be transferred to an outside
agency, but they will have to work hard to find such good carers. In
addition, several other agencies were alerted so we now have other help.
We wish to praise the City Council and its care / social work staff for
running such an excellent service. We are sorry to say goodbye to you all.
