Client feedback

Client feedback

We are delighted with this client feedback received by our Shrewsbury Branch from the husband of a lady who we support in Shropshire. 

Mr H said that he and his wife were extremely happy with the care provided by their carer. The carer is attentive to her needs and engages her in activities and looking through old photo albums. He said the carer is never late and also never in a hurry to rush off at the end of the visit. He said they wouldn’t like to do without this wonderful carer.
