Very pleased to have Julie helping grandad. He likes the company. Myself and my husband are also trying to get some incredibly overdue maintenance and decluttering done to make grandads house more accessible and homely, which in turn will make Julie's time with him more manageable.

In September 2022, I was looking for a carer that could fit in with my schedule , to assist with looking after my 86 year old Mum who was diagnosed with dementia 10 years ago. After a lot of research, I found PrimeCarers, and I was so pleased with the service offered via the website. I managed to find Julie , who is a top class carer. Julie, was very caring, flexible , and efficient in assisting with looking after mum, this was despite , mum having reverted back to her mouth tongue of Panjabi. Julie managed to communicate with mum, and get the tasks needed done with a laugh. Julie has a very happy, pleasant manner, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Julie, many thanks for helping to take care of my Mum. Barindar
