Alma M has been the very best carer to talk to and work with in every possible way. She has shown my mother compassion and friendship from their first meeting, and has been accommodating with requests great and small. Alma exceeds our expectations every day: we feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, knowledgeable, and fun companion for Mum. Mum and Alma are the best of friends already.

Alma was very efficient, reliable and trustworthy. She was very conscientious in her role every time she came and took care of my husband. She has very cheerful personality and always showed initiative in her work which she did very capably. I also consider her willingness to include cooking in her tasks a big plus.

Alma has been providing home care services to my mother on occasions for the past couple of years. She is an exceptional home care worker, and has been a tremendous help to our family. Alma is reliable, responsible and has a wonderfully uplifting personality which raises the spirits of the 97 year old mother. We have come to reply on Alma and are grateful to have her support when commitments take me away from home.
