I initially needed help with my wife by giving her showers and getting dressed in the mornings and make her feel comfortable.

The personal care was what I needed help with the most as I managed with everything else.

It was a big help as I wasn’t managing at the time and due to her decline, it was quite stressful for me.

I find it difficult to accept help sometimes but It did help take a lot of stress off me knowing that she would be taken care of each morning.

I was glad that I got in touch with you and I was happy with every one of the staff. Because they were caring. You get carers, and carers who care, and that was the difference.

It was nice and easy to chat with you all and we were straight and honest with each other, and we got results. I was really pleased with the service, and I would recommend you to anyone.

‘You have all looked after us for 3 years and without a doubt the care and security that you have given us is lovely.

Knowing that this care is in place takes the burden and has taken the weight off my shoulders.

Life before you came was hectic and too much for me. When you came you gave that care to my wife as I didn’t have the time.

Every one of you brings something different to the table

Before you came it was too much for me. We can both cope now and we couldn’t have done it without the team.

You are all full of care and before it was getting me down. Since having you around it’s like taking weight off my shoulders. I have more time to do the things that I want as you take my wife singing every week. I enjoy the time when you take us both out as we can’t get out as much as we used to.

I would recommend you all 100 per cent to anyone who wants some help.’

We found Caring Companions when we were trying to support our Dad to live independently after our Mum died. Looking for an independent company that didn’t wear uniforms and would be happy to appear to be an extension of our family. This was very important as Dad didn’t want or believe he needed anyone outside of the family helping him.

Carolyn and her dedicated team were able to provide two visits daily supporting Dad with meal preparation, medication and other daily tasks. The team made sure, weather permitting, that Dad walked into his local park daily for stimulation and fresh air. Dad is living with Dementia and their support ensured he could live independently until the Dementia changed course.

As a family we were able to continue working knowing that Dad was safe and supported. We couldn’t have kept him at home as long as we did without Caring Companions. The whole time Caring Companions worked with Dad he was convinced that the team were friends of my sister and I. Thank you so much Carolyn, Tracey and Beata.

‘It’s worked very well. I’ve always had someone here twice a day and they have looked after me very well.

I can move around the house now and I’m just waiting for the weather to be better so I can go outside for a time.

I think you all work together excellently as a team. It’s very reassuring to know that one of you will be visiting me as I wouldn’t be able to manage without your help. It helps me to keep going.
