The first moment you know that a client feels comfortable and secure in the care they are receiving, seeing a smile on their face when you arrive and knowing in that moment that they are giving me their trust.
My mum developed a terminal illness and the people who looked after her were wonderful, caring and compassionate. As a result, I felt that I owed someone support somewhere, it was this urge to provide care and support that prompted me to start my own care company; I always aim is to provide high care standards and excellent support treating my clients with respect, dignity, compassion and training my staff to always be consistent and reliable and someone our clients can trust.

Palliative care is specialised care for people living with a serious illness. Support is focused around making sure the patient is as comfortable as possible by reducing pain and stress.

This is known as palliative care at home.
