Maureen - family member at All Saints View

Our carers go that extra mile for my father and, as he is deaf and poor of sight, that makes such a difference. Good care is vital for him at 93 years and we are grateful for the service the carers give him.

Client's daughter

It's great for us to know mum is being taken care of when we can't be around. The carers are reliable and act with such kindness, I know my mum enjoys their company as much as their care support.

Family member of client

I can honestly say I love working for Care is Central. Care does have its challenges but they all seem so minor when you get to see people's happiness every day. As long as I can make my residents laugh, smile and meet their needs, what else could I ask for?

It's lovely to know that Katie will be here to help me every day. She is a godsend in so many ways and I don't know what I'd do without her helping me get out and about and around the house.
