Call-In Homecare

A big thank you to some of our amazing carers across Edinburgh this week 💜

In the North, Timothy received lovely feedback from a service user: “Pleasant, efficient, tidy and did everything perfectly.” Exactly the kind of care we’re proud to see every day!

In the South West, Afaf has been recognised by a service user’s daughter for the compassionate support she’s given during a difficult time. She’s taken the time to understand what matters most and made sure everything is just right.

Also in the South West, Tracey has been described as “fantastic” and “a real credit to the company.” A recent council review also highlighted her as an exceptional and professional carer.

Thank you Timothy, Afaf and Tracey for the care, dedication and consistency you show every day, it really does make a difference! ✨

Happy Birthday to our service users 🥳✨

In Edinburgh, our service user Betty turned 100 – what an incredible milestone! She received a special card from the King and Queen Consort, some gorgeous flowers and a lovely balloon from her grandchildren!

In Lanarkshire, our service user Irene celebrated her 82nd birthday, with beautiful flowers and a well-deserved celebration.

Thank you to our Care Assistants for helping our wonderful service users celebrate their special days 💐
