Testimonials
Real Family Feedback
“A massive “Thank you” to you, and your team, for all your care and support of Pat over these last few years. It made a world of difference to Pat to be able to get out and about and engage in conversation with people whose company she enjoyed. It was also very reassuring for me, and the family, knowing your team was on the ground, especially during the unexpected hospital admissions when the carers would go above and beyond to help Pat through the admission process and ensure she had what she needed.”
Pip
Our parents were provided with exceptional care over a 6 month period, so that we were able to keep them living independently in their home at a time when they were struggling with declining health and dementia. The Assistants were extremely caring and kind and went above and beyond to make sure our parents were well looked after.”
Sarah, Helen, Anne & Lawrence Kimberley
“I am profoundly grateful for the care my brother has received, and have no doubt that their expertise has extended the time my brother has been able to remain in his own home. All these services have been undertaken with persistent patience, courtesy, and good humour. All the carers have been unfailingly kind, and respectful of my brother, often under very trying circumstances. I recommend this service without reservation, and am happy to be contacted independently at any stage.”
