Feedback from our clients
“I have been so lucky to have had a social worker who has immersed herself in our situation to ensure she fully understands our daily challenges and help work with us to find the appropriate support that has eased the difficulties of living with a partner with young onset Alzheimer’s. She is professional, supportive and always asks the right questions, helping us adapt to the continuing changes this illness brings. She needs to be cloned!“
“All members of the team who visited my wife were very friendly, helpful and understanding. When specialist help was required, such as a nurse, they arranged a visit from that specialist within 24 hours. They all deserve the 'Excellent' grade.”
“Samantha was caring and considered mum's needs, she also listened to me and how I cared for mum. She was happy to repeat what I didn't understand. Most importantly she was respectful towards her.”
