“Martin was more than a carer, he managed the home and became my uncle's best friend, enriching his life during his last few years. Martin always kept me informed of any significant changes with my uncle, if he was not well or anything I should be made aware of. After a year when my uncle's needs became more difficult with early stage dementia Martin gave me his word he would look after my uncle to the end.”
