"Dear Jane, dear Beke,
We are writing to inform you that Mum has now been discharged from hospital and has moved into a nursing home.
The Medical and Social Services teams - Hannah and I - took this decision based on Mum's recent deterioration and felt that it was the best option for the next phase of Mum's care. This was a very difficult decision to make.
The support you provided, Jane, during this period was really much appreciated. Your experience and knowledge really helped to support us through this tough time.
Beke - thank you also for your support, patience and kindness over the past years as we navigated the maze of trying to provide great care for Mum at home. We will always remember this and you should be really proud of your staff - particularly Winlet, Marilyne and Ngozi. All three developed deep relationships, knowledge of Mum and provided her with top quality care, emotional support and the ability to keep living independently in her home. Please pass on our thanks to them all - we are very grateful for all they did.
All the best, "
