Testimonials
| "I cannot thank you enough for the help you and your team have been. It’s such a relief knowing mum and dad are in good hands!" "I am coming to the end of my chemotherapy treatment and fortunately, things have definitely improved since my first treatments. It was great to have Maria, Annabelle and Vicki helping at that time. Thank you very much for your excellent service." "Vicki is truly the greatest blessing in my life right now. She is wonderful with Dad in every way. We are getting into such a great groove as each week goes by." "Mum loved her carers arriving each morning and they certainly enabled her to continue living in her apartment and to participate in all the things she loved each week! It has given us peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after and checked up on each morning! Give our heartfelt thanks to Ofa, Lynda and Jordan." "I am so happy I got to meet you and you were part of our family during a difficult time. Your lovely warmth and big smile will be missed around the house." "We are loving your team , PA has changed Dads life. He is so happy." "Ofa has a lovely generous style and gentle enough not to make Mum feel 'told what to do'. A few laughs and chats are great stuff." "Thank you both so much for your care and support of Mum over the past 18 months. Really appreciate everything you have done. Your carers are all such wonderful women." "On behalf of my siblings, I wanted to express our thanks to you and your amazing team, for the care provided for the past year. There is no doubt that your team enabled him to live independently and happily, until he could no longer. Please pass on our gratitude to Margot, Gillian, Margie, Jackie and Kim." "She was made a fuss of all day on her birthday and then we had a lovely dinner out last night. Your staff are wonderful people!" |
