COMPANION PROFILE & CLIENT FEEDBACK

 

When selecting our Companions, we look for a wide variety of attributes. They must be responsible, with plenty of commonsense, and have the ability to make sensible decisions. They will need compassion, patience and a good sense of humour. The Good CompanionTM is bright and articulate as well as perceptive and tactful.

 

Nursing, farming, teaching, the arts - these are just some of our Companions' varied working backgrounds. They are all experienced in caring for others, whether professionally, or within their own families. What they all have in common is kindness and a strong desire to help.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

 

" We would be delighted to endorse your services. It has made such a difference for all of us. We were struggling after Dad's passing to manage Mum's re-engagement in living on her own. The companions have provided a much needed support and reassurance for us all. Mum really looks forward to your visits; you are warm and engaging and she has come to know and trust you well."

J.Florkowski Sept 2011

 

"Towards the end our mother was completely bed ridden, suffering from bouts of dementia, and they coped marvelously; she always looked immaculate and happy. In fact they gave her the love and care that usually only family members are capable of."

M.Anderson July 2011

 

The girls have been so excellent and have added so much enjoyment to mother’s daily life... they have changed her life from existing to living.

Polly Warren, Lincoln.
