The amazing care given to my dad in palliative care

"The amazing care given to my dad in palliative care"

About: Sale Hospital / Palliative Care

(as a relative),

Dad was admitted to the Sale Hospital Palliative Care and passed away four days later. I am so grateful for the amazing care and kindness shown to Dad during that time. He was treated like a treasured family friend and that same kindness was extended to his family. Every staff member went that 'extra mile'. One nurse offered to hold the phone so I could say goodbye in case I couldn't arrive in time. Once there I was allowed to stay with Dad for his final days.

My heart is broken to lose my darling Dad but I will never forget the wonderful care and comfort provided to him and to me. Such a professional and dedicated team of people every single one of them.

Please accept my heartfelt gratitude.
