"It is a little short of two years that Nightingales took on Albert’s care at very short notice and have adjusted and extended his care times as it has become necessary. Throughout the time he was so grateful for the care everyone gave him, frequently telling visitors that he ‘could not ask for better’. As his health declined over the past few months it was very reassuring, both to him and us, that the same group of carers were with him on such a regular basis as they had come to know his likes and disliked so well. There was kindly banter, which he loved, but also real practical and professional care, evidenced by his skin integrity right to the end, not always easy to maintain in the elderly. I was enormously touched by the gentle way Jagoda and Sam washed and settled Dad on his last evening, it was clear that he was calm and very comfortable, one could not ask for more. Thank you doesn’t really cover what you have all helped us achieve which was to fulfil Albert’s wish to remain at home, able to enjoy his view of the sea, surrounded by his books, pictures and the memories of a lifetime. With our heartfelt thanks,"
