It’s been quite a journey these past 2 months since I fractured my femur. At first, I was scared and worried about how this would change my daily life as I was main carer for my elderly husband with vascular dementia.
After the fall, I was taken to Crosshouse hospital where I had my surgery. The surgery went well, and I was grateful for the care I received.
It was during my rehab journey at Biggart Hospital that the truly impressive care began. Karen CNM, Lesley Senior charge nurse, and the nursing team from Lindsay ward made sure I was comfortable and attended to my needs, which meant a lot during such a vulnerable time.
The nursing care and expertise was outstanding!
The nursing team at Biggart Hospital had a dementia friendly ethos and facilitated my husband’s visits with kindness, compassion and humour!
Once I started my rehabilitation, the physiotherapy and occupational therapy team provided encouragement and their skills supported me towards my speedy discharge.
The nursing team at Biggart Hospital were professional, person and family centred and their understanding and empathy at this difficult time helped my progress significantly.
"The nursing care and expertise was outstanding!"
