What we do.

Exactly who my parents need for their care needs

“Lea is exactly as your described – very gentle, patient, understanding, professional and extremely competent and knowledgeable. Lea is just exactly who my parents need for their care needs in their elder years. In my opinion, Lea is settling into the role very well and quickly”

Kind, helpful, calm

“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to share mum’s caring duties with Mary. I couldn’t have asked for someone more kind, helpful, calm and caring to be in the house with. It took mum a while but she really took to her and, as long as it was one on one, she got to tune into Mary’s voice. Thank you for sending her our way.”
