“What a privilege to meet with Mairead , Maggie and their colleagues at Cavendish Homecare. In such demanding and uncertain times as these it was so encouraging and thought provoking to hear how as a team they were providing such creative ways to ensure a person centered approach runs through all they do which they see is reflected in the Lantern Model. For me,  Mairead’s courage and ambition to stay rooted in providing a quality of care which really meets the person’s need was so evident with her real understanding that staff need to feel valued and invested in to provide such care, she was inspiring!”

“We are so pleased to connect with Cavendish Homecare about high quality nursing for people at the end of life. Cavendish’s aspirations for individualised, trustworthy and sensitive care highly resonates with the outcomes of the Lantern Model – a new contemporary approach to nursing at the end of life. We have much to learn from each other about creating the right nursing care around someone who is dying and their family and look forward to the kind of partnership that will enable this. Thank you, in the meantime for being courageous in picking up the model and finding ways to apply it to your work in a compassionate way. All part of the way of the lantern!”

“One year on and being a homecare carer is the best job I’ve ever done. I am motivated by knowing that I can wake up each day and I will be helping someone.”

“Very thankful to the manager and her team and the support of care given at home, the carers showed great care and support they were very thorough and showed TLC. They worked very well with me showing care to my loved one age 94 and nothing was too much to ask. This backing also came from the Manager’s daily calls to check that we are as happy as can be when in need, especially during COVID-19 restrictions. I would truly recommend this service care to all who have loved ones who require the best care provision with a can-do attitude. Experts in the line of duty. Thank you all so much for all your hard work and support. Best wishes always.”

“Huge thanks to all at Cavendish. You have made an unbearable time bearable and supported us brilliantly every step of the way. Thank you so much. Very best wishes”

“Many thanks for your help and support – I keep saying to everyone I know that I wish I had contacted/came across Cavendish Homecare a long time ago. Everyone cared for mum was so professional, capable and caring.”

“Thank you so much for supporting my sister through what has been an unprecedented time. Thank you for the outstanding care you all have continued to provide despite hugely difficult times brought by the Coronavirus.”

“The Nurse is always reliable and goes out of her way to give me my treatment when it suits me and when I need it, even if its not convenient for her. She is an angel and anyone fortunate enough to receive her care should count themselves lucky.”

“My Nurse has been administering my treatment every day days since 2018. I have only known her to be highly skilled, thorough, professional and caring. She works in a meticulous way and since the COVID 19 crisis has increased the level of pristine hygiene to make sure I am safe.”

“Thank you to everyone at Cavendish for their help and support. I could not have managed the last few months without your help. I will always be grateful. All the best.”

“The Registered Manager and Owner are very skilled and professional. Communication is very open and I cannot speak highly enough about Cavendish.”
