I have been working in Haven of Hope Nursing Home for 11 years. I still remember that many years ago, my father was admitted to a hospital for a surgery on gastric cancer. As the work place of my brother was near the hospital (just about ten minutes by taxi), he would cook two dishes and one soup during his free time and then bring them to the hospital. As there was no need for my father to avoid any specific foods, and he could eat whatever he liked, my brother was just like a special cook serving him. Every time I was off work, I would visit him and sometimes, I cooked some of his favourite dishes too. Over time the medical staff and I developed a close relationship. Though my dad finally passed away, other family members and I really appreciated the care of the medical staff. From that time onwards, I have come to realise the importance of love and care for our service users.More
