We have had some amazing feedback for Alison which you can look at below:
My name is Mrs H,
I have had the pleasure of knowing Alison for over two years. she has been taking care of my husband for that time, I have been really impressed with her commitment to my husband Michael. Michael has very challenging behaviour problems, he often gets very aggressive, she has tried to work out what trigger’s behaviour and the reasons why this happens, because of this she can often calm him down. He needs encouragement to drink and eat, Alison always tries to make sure he gets food and liquids, she knows how to encourage him to want to eat, she found out by putting a spoon with food on it then to his mouth he got the taste and would open it and eat. Another thing she did was make special sandwiches that weren’t on the menu as she knew he would eat them. I know Michael’s life has been helped along his journey by the help of Alison. Not only has she been there for Michael, but she’s also been there for me as well, helping me to understand the complexity of dementia, giving me support when I feel low, helping me when I’m mentally in bits, she phones me after leaving work, if I have worries about Michael to reassure me. Finally, I would like to say Alison is very kind, always reliable, hardworking, takes her work seriously, it’s an important part of her life I believe.
Yours sincerely Mrs H
Alison and Michael
