“The interaction she gives my mother is incredible, singing, dancing, taking her to groups, on plenty of walks which mum always loves. She keeps mum very active in body and mind which is exactly what we wanted to keep the mum we knew before the dementia coming out, we were not sure we would find someone to do that but we have in Joyce. She is caring and gentle with mum and I could not recommend her highly enough!”
“She attended to what I thought was an impossible mess to tackle in my home that had built up after not being able to care for myself for quite some time in just a few hours - a project I thought would take weeks. And she's incredibly accommodating and I just couldn't ask more from a carer. I give Liliana my strongest possible recommendation. I promise, you won't be disappointed!”
