Patient Feedback:

"Having a person to ask questions, advice and discuss problems with was invaluable. I could not have kept my father-in-law at home, which was his wish, without the help of the community matron."

"The matron Wendy was so caring. She is a fantastic and caring person and as so much time for you and makes you so relaxed in her company when she visits me. She always as a smile on her face. Wendy is good at her job and deserves a medal!"

"The nurses are brilliant and have given care to my dad for some time. He knows and trusts them and he's comfortable with them. A very good service that is needed."
