Thank you to everyone, especially the Nursing Staff, for their patience & compassion while Ray was a resident at Chaffey House. The care and dedication of the nurses, particularly during his last week is greatly appreciated. Thank you also from myself & my husband Michael, for all the assistance given to us both in person and on the phone. Nothing was too much trouble, and all staff went above & beyond to do whatever was needed. Best wishes to all.

[...] I genuinely appreciate being kept regularly informed, as it makes a significant difference when living some distance away from my grandmother. The updates provide reassurance and help me feel connected and confident in her care. Thank you for the ongoing communication and support.

I am safe, and comfortable in my own home. I have lovely people come and help me with home care and garden care and, because I live alone, social company. If I need something concerning my reasons for all the help I get I can ask if my package could pay for it. No, I can’t think of a thing I would change.
