Having spent 12 hours and more at the hospital I realised how long and tiring it can be for nurses. I saw Stephen working tirelessly the long shift and on top of that, towards the end of his shift he gave my 85 year old dad a thorough shower, giving him a good rub! And after that, finished off other tasks before completing a hard day’s work. Still as energetic, friendly and approachable as I saw him at the beginning of the shift.
Dad looked fresh, comfortable and comfortably tucked in. Although dad has dementia he remembered. The moment he saw me he told me about how with great care Stephen gave him a (thorough) shower and that nice people exist! Later again, as he drifted into sleep he spoke about the quality of care he has received.
I am as touched as my dad. So thank you Stephen from me and my dad. We wish you all the best!

Response from Mr Stephen brennan
Hello Abida, many thanks for your great review. I could not go home and leave your Dad lying there with his T shirt etc and bed linen, that he had been in for 24 hours, especially so as he is so frail . I got him to walk back to the bed with his stick as I figured it would be a good excercise for him after being in bed so long. I am really glad he enjoyed the shower as I was a bit hesitant about putting him through all the effort of getting him out of bed etc. Also thanks for you being there, giving his medications , and helping him with his food , you helped both of us......Take care ....Stephen
