I was the companion and sole carer to a 92-year-old lady with extensive physical disabilities and changing mental abilities through two national Covid lockdowns. After her three-week hospital stay during the second lockdown, I nursed her and took responsibility for her physiotherapy. Under my care, physiotherapists stated that I was more beneficial to her recovery than their occasional visits. The area occupational therapist has praised my abilities as a carer, motivator, and companion under extremely trying conditions. I bring empathy and the ability to motivate people. The family has provided me with a reference, which I would be happy to pass on to future clients. I have managed daily finances, household maintenance, correspondence, and medical issues. In the later stages, this involved hoisting and catheter care. I work closely with the family and client and strive to give people the best chance at a quality of life. I love crafting and reading and encourage as much independence as possible.

    Excellent

    Catherine has been my wife’s carer alongside myself for the past 13 months. She has been excellent in every way. She arrives promptly and is always punctual. She does everything that my wife needs including administering medication. She has a very good understanding of Parkinsons and its various symptoms, not least dementia. She is patient, sympathetic, kind and firm when needed. She is pleasant to have in the home and we couldn’t have a better carer to help us.

    Excellent

    We recently had the pleasure of Cathy caring for our mum and she was fantastic! She always had mum’s best interests at heart and was extremely communicative so mum always had the best outcome. She was very communicative and flexible with working hours and covered us at short notice which was most helpful,. Highly recommended.
