"The IRIS team performed a miracle"

My father passed away 3 years ago, days before his 90th birthday after a lifelong marriage to mum who is 2 years younger. My mother was utterly devastated and having lived for, and through my dad is totally unable to cope both practically and emotionally. She utterly went to pieces without dad here which resulted in her giving up everything including eating and drinking and personal care.

Her mental state became increasingly confused and her behaviour extremely disruptive and worrying as well as dangerous. A massive problem was that even though she was struggling and desperately needing help, she could not accept it or deal with it because she was so unaccustomed to people coming into the home.

This is where the amazing IRIS team came in and laid the foundations of ‘socialising’ mum sufficiently to get her to cope with her help from carers in the house. This was an extremely challenging task and the IRIS team worked tirelessly and with great understanding and compassion for the entire situation and all people concerned. They have gone over and above and enabled ways forward now with her care privately which would not have been possible without their help.

In short the IRIS team performed a miracle for which I am ever grateful and have been a pleasure and privilege to know and have dealing with. Mine and my mother’s heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for a job well done!
