We feel that age or ill health should never be a barrier to living life to the full and our aim is to help our lovely Olden Goldies do just that. After the stresses mof the past three years some older people have become very lonely & isolated.

Olden Goldies responded quickly, had a good understanding of the differing needs of the older generation and was both thoughtful and helpful. Would recommend this organisation to anyone looking for help around and outside the house and company in general. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the elderly happy and enjoying life to the full.
Knowing that somebody looks forward to my visit and can't wait for me to return, thats when you know it's a job well done.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Have always had a place in my heart for the older community. I lived away for a long time and missed my own family and often had adopted olden goldies in my life. While studying for a care management degree I worked for 7 years with a lady with dementia. It was a learning experience in many ways. I helped her with her daily living Mon to Fri. Housework, meal preparation & oot & aboot trips We became great companions.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I genuinely care. I treat clients like my own and love to tell them all about the things happening with my family to make my clients feel involved. Often someone will arrange my visits, mostly daughters and the client will be a little stubborn saying they don't need help... so rewarding when it ends up that they can't wait for me to visit. I go above & beyond and provide a great one to one service.
I take my clients oot & aboot, we have fun, we enjoy our time together because I'm just me.
