All the carers who visited my father were so kind and professional. The standard of care shown was outstanding. We felt reassured that my father could continue living at home with their help.

I can only praise the support I receive from Primary Homecare. All the carers that visit me are kind, caring and willing to support me to do things I can no longer manage myself. They treat me with respect and allow me the time I need to complete tasks. Both myself and my family would highly recommend Primary Homecare to anyone who requires support at home or knows someone who does.

We would like to thank you for the wonderful feedback that you have given to the staff that visit you on a daily basis.

Our family have been very happy with the level of care my Nanna has received from Primary Homecare Ltd. The people who visit her have been very polite, kind and always aware of respecting her dignity. Having people to visit and look after Nanna 3 times a day takes the stress away from us. The office staff and management are also very helpful and easy to talk to. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff!
