As strange as it may sound, because it is a home where people come to die, it doesn't feel that way at all, it feels like a warm bath, an incredible peace comes over you when you come in and you feel so welcome ! I also don't call it a home or institution but a home! Fortunately and unfortunately my mother only spent 16 hours alive here, fortunately for her, but unfortunately in the sense that I would rather have visited her there the week before instead of in the hell it was in the hospital for her! We were warmly and lovingly received, we were immediately offered something to drink while we waited for my mother to come with the ambulance and if we wanted to talk to someone or just stay quietly in her room. In the beautiful large room was next to her bed a bedside table with a very sweet little bouquet of wild flowers and a welcome card for her, then had an intake conversation in the family room, which was really nice, because all the time was taken, but especially every possible understanding was for our stories and questions. In the meantime my mother was well looked after, we were asked what she liked to drink, that was cold water and there was a large jug of water with ice cubes near her when we came back to her .. As said, she is only here for a short time from 11 a.m. until she died at 3 p.m. My mother had indicated that she wanted to die alone, so we were not allowed to come if it went so badly that it would only take hours. At a quarter to three in the night I received a phone call that things were getting worse, the nurse and I talked for a while, I wanted to applaud my son, but had not yet typed 4 words or the phone rang again, my mother had died exactly she wanted to be all alone. The nurse called me outside of her room so that my mother would not be disturbed in her rest and when she came back into the room after the phone call she had died. We only had to come in the morning, in the meantime they took care of my mother as far as possible and the funeral directors put her clothes on, and put them on with her in the morning. Then she came out of her room in her coffin with a nice quilt on the coffin, while we and all the volunteers, nurses and doctors who were not working anywhere else were standing in a hall of honor in the corridor, there was a candle burning and a beautiful flower on her bed. The nurse read a nice poem, while we all paid one last honor, then we went downstairs and again everyone was there, so that we gave my mother a hedgehog again and she was taken to the car, the quilt became folded and given back and then the car drove away. All this was so loving and respectful, everything that I had missed in the hospital did happen there, my mother was helped lovingly and humanely and had real peace, I think it went so fast because of that. I am so grateful to everyone there! Also for the reception of us something to drink, a listening ear and handkerchiefs for the tears. It could not have been a better end to a beautiful life! I know this is a very long story, but I also know that I would have loved to have known this while we waited for my mother to arrive there, so for everyone in the same situation, if your loved one ends up in Cadenza South, then you experience how beautiful, loving, full of respect and very nice, despite the sorrow, it will be there for both your beloved and you. There is all the time and space for the person lying there, but certainly also for everyone around it! Really, many thanks again to everyone, no matter how briefly I have experienced you, I am very happy that my mother was still able to experience this peace and your good care. Janet thank you and also your colleague whose name I unfortunately do not know, but who caught me while dressing my mother's etc., you are really great!
