Everyone at Brocton Care

I could not choose between the carers that Mum has. They are all amazing in different ways. They care for her physical needs, and then go beyond that.  They sing songs with her, they give her back scratches, they know before I do if Mum is starting an infection, so we can stop it in its tracks early. One mother and daughter team visited her in hospital, another tells her that they are going to Las Vegas together when they win the lottery (mum picked the numbers and the carer buys the tickets). They have stayed with us through a lot of rough patches over the past 3 years, helped when my Dad died, and even look after the dog for me if i am away at any time. All the girls encourage Mum to drink and make sure she eats.  I cannot praise them enough, especially this year.  Not one of them has ever let us down, through Covid or floods or snow. They are an integral and vital part of our family.
