I placed my mother in Highercomb as she was living with Liver cancer and needed medical care I couldn't give her.. the staff in administration and on the ward were caring, empathic and totally understanding of mum's needs.. they looked after Mum so well.. I can't fault them on anything.. My Mother wasn't an easy person to please and she didn't want to go into residential care but just after a month Mum didn't want to be anywhere else .. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped to look after Mum while in Highercombe

Lack of staff , are always making excuses. Inadequate care. Father fell over and he was left on floor as carer/nurse was busy and would come back ,mean while he is on floor ,and this is how your treated at end of life.
