Kerry took care of my grandma for almost 3 years until she passed this year on halloween. I didn't have much say in how she was taken care of because that was up to my mom and uncle. But i saw a lot of how Kerry took care of her. Kerry has a super fun personality and frequently included my grandma on her tiktoks. She was more than just a nurse to grammie, she was her friend. Kerry always went the extra mile to take care of my grandma in her final days, including consoling me when I couldnt be there. She has a passion for what she does, and I dont think we could have asked for a better carer

I have had the pleasure of knowing Kerry Catling since December 2018 when she came, at the last minute, to care and stay with my mother. At that time my mother was in the middle stage of dementia. She was somewhat mobile but unable to care for herself. Kerry made sure Mum had good nutritious meals, took care of her personal hygiene, and made sure she had outings such as going to the local coffee shop. She also went the extra mile and, in her personal car, took Mum to visit our family, went on a trip to the seaside, and visited local parks. She did the housework and laundry making sure all supplies for Mum were ordered and in place. As Mum's dementia progressed, those trips were not possible. Mum would have nights when she was awake all night, very agitated and talkative. Kerry would stay with her and calm her down. Unfortunately these nights became much more frequent and Kerry had to deal with her anxiety and agitation for a number of continuous nights. When Covid 19 hit and the country was on lockdown, Kerry was at the house all the time as my brother and I were unable to visit. Kerry went the extra mile in looking after Mum. She cared about her, talked to her, made sure she was comfortable. Kerry made sure Mum's personal care was maintained and she had no bed sores. My Mum passed away in October. I can truly say Kerry is a caregiver beyond any I have known. She took such special care with my Mum and my brother and I cannot be more thankful that she was with Mum when she passed. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information.
