Our son Paul is profoundly disabled and has a tracheostomy. Travelling away from home can be a nightmare. So holidays are not always as relaxing as they should be. We could fill a truck with the additional equipment we have to carry around as many of you will appreciate.
Steve and Denise are a couple who have started a Bed and Breakfast Hotel in Torquay. One of their rooms has been adapted with a hoist , a rise and fall bed with sides and wetfloor showerroom. Denise is a trained nurse with experience of caring for trachy children and cared for Paul and many other trachy kids when she lived in the Kettering area.
She now offers this support at her Hotel. During our stay Paul was cared for by Denise allowing my wife and I to have our own time to go out in the evening or for the whole day - and to have that all important lie in. Her husband Steve provides a wicked breakfast in the morning and good company over a couple of drinks in the evening.
Have a look at their website for info: http://www.crowndalehotel.co.uk/

Hi David & Barbara. Thanks for putting this up on the Blog - it is always great to have a personal recommendation and the hotel looks lovely from the pictures and your descriptions. It is so much better when the WHOLE family can have an enjoyable break together and it looks as if both Paul's needs as well as yours are catered for here. Hope you have lots more happy breaks away.
