Client Feedback I wish to make a comment about the service I’ve received from PW. She has been very helpful and I found her to be very friendly in her manner and very approachable concerning any queries I have had. Your service has been another life line to me and PW has been a friend. First class service, helpful. More than words can say. The care and attention I received made such an impact to my life beyond words. I would definitely use the service again. This is an excellent service. All services are covered and staff contacted services for us and people helped us in the home. PW has been more than helpful, very organised and very much a people person, a very good way and very approachable. First Class!

Care Manager, SEHSCT This is a very worthwhile service and anyone that I know who has used it feels that it has helped reduce their isolation and has supported positive mental health Promoting Wellbeing Team, SHSCT
