Ellen is reliable, competent, friendly and professional. Her model of person centred care matches my own beliefs about the rights of the individual to be treated with kindness and compassion and thoughtfulness. She is a very good carer who makes her clients fell safe and contained and confident in the quality of her care. She has cared for my husband on several occasions now - the longest period was two weeks. I retuned to find my husband content and well cared for. My husband is confined to a wheelchair and requires personal care, all of which Ellen delivers respectfully and thoroughly ensuring he maintains his dignity. tEllen is an excellent cook and I have appreciated how she will often leave a meal cooked and ready for Geoff and I to eat after I return. The house is always tidy and clean on my return and Ellen invariably washes her sheets to make one less task for me.
