Kim McGarrity "The commodes got passed from pillar to post, but there was only one auxiliary going between my gran and this woman who had C.diff " Kim McGarrity | Ellen Gildea's granddaughter


Sheila Chandler "On a particularly bad night, there were three pairs of pyjamas, his slippers and dressing gown all basically covered in diarrhoea" Sheila Chandler | Alister Johnston's daughter
