“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.”

“Vani took excellent care of my father, Stan. She actively engaged with him rather than passively just looking after his needs. I would highly recommend her. Dad said they laughed and chatted all day long. She was very professional in terms of his medication, meals and personal care but had a great warmth to her personality. I will be seeking Vani's support in the future.”
