Daughter's worry for mum with dementia until NHS worker steps in

A woman shared her thanks for the NHS staff that helped her mum before she received her booster vaccine.

The woman had attended Miriam Medical Centre, in Birkenhead, with her elderly mother. When they arrived, the woman was worried that she could not find a parking space to help her mum, who suffers from dementia and poor mobility, into her wheelchair.

However, a 'lovely' member of staff stepped in, and went 'above and beyond' to cater for the family. The member of staff, called Danny, first assisted the lady in helping her mum out of the car and into a wheelchair, and then sped off to help find a parking space.

The woman took to Facebook to praise Danny's 'sincere' actions. In a post she said: "A huge thankyou to one of the lovely staff at the Miriam Medical Centre on Laird Street. Today I took my mum, who has poor mobility and suffers from dementia for her spring booster vaccine.

"On arrival I was concerned as there were no parking spaces and I needed to get my mum into her wheelchair to get her in; without a parking space, this was going to be tricky. A really lovely bloke called Danny who was a steward at the centre came over, told me not to worry about getting mum’s wheelchair out of the car … he’d go and get one from the centre.

"He helped me getting mum out of the car then went to find a car parking space for me. He showed the same courtesy when we were leaving, watching mum while I went to get the car and then helped her into the car. Danny, if you’re reading this, sincere thanks for making our visit so much easier. Mum said ‘what a lovely young man, there should be more Dannys in this world.' She’s dead right! If you know Danny, pass on our thanks please xx"
