Taking the pain out of moving
Taking the pain out of moving
Nevertheless Sandra Robison, who suffers from Smith-Magenis Syndrome, didn’t let that prevent her from moving to better accommodation a few streets away from her home in Ashington.
Due to a decline in Sandra’s mobility, she was delighted to finally get the news that a bungalow was available for her. This was also welcome news to her mother Sheila.
Sandra’s dedicated care team supported Sandra to pack her home into boxes and took small items in their vehicles with Sandra to her new home. They also took Sandra on regular trips to the local tip to get rid of unwanted items.
Tracey Summers, specialist care and support officer, arranged the move and the transportation of larger items through a local removal company. She explained: “Due to the fantastic communication and team work between me, the care team and Sandra’s mother all of this was achieved in a two-week period. The care team were praised and thanked by Sandra’ mother for the support that was given to Sandra.”
Our fabulous care team also received warm thanks from Sandra’s care manager, Ann Adiguzel.
Members of the care team went with Sandra and her mother on several shopping trips to buy new items for the home. Sandra has a five-strong core care team – Wendy Patterson, Karen Hudspith, Sandra Timney, Stephanie Smith, and Amanda Wilson.
Tracey said: “Sandra is now settled in her new bungalow which has all her new furniture and carpets in place; it’s lovely, homely and safer for Sandra. Sheila is over the moon her daughter has settled in her new home. Sandra is very proud of her new home and loves to show people around it when they visit.”
