“The package is fine and I’m confident that the carers are keeping Mum as well and as comfortable as possible. Dorothy in particular is great for Mum - they get on really well and Mum has commented that it’s like having another member of the family in the house. Dorothy has given me invaluable advice by occasionally talking me through the next phase in Mums care. Though the path that Mum is on is entirely predictable, Dorothy has helped me understand what the next few months has in store for us.”
