Capable, caring and patient. Loritha was wonderfull with my father, who is a challenging individual with lots of idiosyncracies. Loritha coped with him well and greatly improved his quality of life. Would happily recommend her services.

Loritha is an outstanding carer. She has 20 years experience as a carer and is honest, trustworthy and very reliable. She put her heart into the work of caring for our mum, was very compassionate and kind and dealt with difficulties thoughtfully and creatively. She was very committed to our mum and went the extra mile in many ways. We always knew mum was being kept safe in Loritha's care. We are so sorry to lose Loritha (our mum has had to go into hospital for a time) but our loss may be your gain!

Loritha has been a fantastic carer for my mum and my dad for over a year now all through my mums struggle with cancer and my dads dementia. She is thoughtful, caring, funny and very professional. I could not have been happier and more confident to leave my parents care in her capable hands. I would highly recommend her and if it hadn't been for their passing in their nineties then she would still be part of this family. I wish her every success and happiness in the future.
