Mum always said she never wanted to go into a home and was not happy about it, but the staff treated her so well and helped to improve her mobility again after a fall as well as making her feel valued.
They all enjoyed having a joke and sharing stories with her. Mum settled in quickly and began to actually be very happy there – and I would have said that would never happen. I would often spend many hours with her there and never felt I was in their way – in fact, the exact opposite.
