My husband has complex needs and can be a difficult client; not his fault, but the nature of his illness.
I was turned down by two agencies without even a discussion taking place, but was accepted by Axis care.
Well God must have been on my side!
This agency is amazing.
I was emailed and asked for details of my husband's care requirements; his likes and his dislikes, his abilities or otherwise etc.
The carer came to see me and to meet my husband and to further discuss our needs.
Two carers attended my husband for a twelve hour shift and they were both exemplary.
First of all, kindness and understanding and respect was in abundance.
Secondly, they knew exactly what to do; completely and utterly professional.
Lastly, they went above and beyond.
I told them to leave all the laundry to me but no, it was a beautiful, sunny day so they washed and dried all of the dirty bed linen too.
I've been a carer in a professional capacity; believe me, these are the best, and I will be back!
