Patient Feedback
“I think everyone that works here loves what they do, because I feel it. Everyone is caring and approachable and I cannot think of one negative thing to say.
I really, really appreciate all the staff and commend them for their passion and commitment. Well wishes for the future””
Julle het elke keer gegroet en met die grootste glimlagte mens laat welkom voel. Die liefde wat julle gewys het vir elke kind in die saal was tasbaar. Julle was beslis deur God gekies om hierdie werk te doen.”
Baie dankie vir al julle liefde en deernis daar, asook harde woorde wat soms nodig is. Julle het GEEN idee wat julle almal vir ons beteken nie”
