Read more about Kate...
Many of her clients needed live-in care which quickly became her passion.
“Throughout my career, I have seen the enormous impact live-in care has on people’s lives. Our clients are happier in their own homes, surrounded by their comforts with easy access to their friends and family. Our carers and companions relieve them of any anxiety they might have felt about living on their own, or coping with the logistics of daily life.
And the families we support no longer have to worry about the safety of their parent or friend. They have the peace of mind to know they are in safe, nurturing hands.
I want all our clients to be delighted by our service and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect.”
