My dad is an 86 yr old who requires frequent Hospital admissions. From the pandemic we have found comfort as a result of virtual visiting provided within CAH.
We have used these visits to not only reassure our father and ourselves, but have found the interaction to be joyful. By looking at the garden, seeing his pets, Interacting with his grand children, has all contributed to my father's recovery.
I also have benefitted personally, as a lupus sufferer, I am shielding as much as humanly possible. Visits to the hospital could result in my own health deteriorating. So I thank you again as this risk factor has been eliminated, while maintaining the relationship with my father.
We have been so impressed with the service that we purchased a communal tablet, for my dads unit, in his care home so that other families could chat.
Also a huge thank you for the ease of service, booking is a pleasure. A quality holistic care tool delivered by a warm and understanding team of staff, who genuinely go out of their way to ensure the best quality from the experience. Truly a real credit to the Trust.
Thank you so much and I hope this service continues in the future.
