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/
