My mother in law was a patient in The New Selby war Memorial Hospital throughout May amp; June due to her deteriorating health and sadly she died towards the end of June. We the family have nothing but praise for the standard of care both she and we received.
All the staff on the ward, from the Ward Manager down, were aware of her needs, were prepared to spend time ensuring that she and we, understood all the aspects of her care.
She was treated with respect, humour and gentleness through to the end. We were supported during this difficult time and given the privacy we needed to say goodbye.
We cannot thank the staff on the ward enough for the marvellous care they provided to both my mother in law and the whole family.
Thank you.

It is very reassuring to hear that staff were able to make your mother in law as comfortable as she could be during her last weeks and that she was treated with respect, humour and gentleness throughout. I am also very pleased to hear that your family were supported through such a difficult time and that you were given the privacy you needed to say goodbye.
I will be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to the team involved in your mother in laws care. I know they will be thrilled to know they made such a difference at such an important time.
