The service is sensitive and well thought out. The staff are well trained and courteous and professional in their approach, at the same time showing kindness and humanity.
Dear C P, thank you for your lovely feedback. It is so important to us that our clients are happy with their service and I am glad to hear you are having such a positive experience. I know your homecare assistants think of you very highly and it was only this week that your carer was telling us how...
We found the care, friendliness, concern and understanding of all the Westmorland staff, carers and the doctors who established the business to be incredible. Our elderly father who was the client especially found his carers so considerate and kind that he loved being helped by them in his time of need and put his trust in them. They made him laugh and vice versa. We thank Westmorland for making our fathers last days more comfortable.
Hi Sandra, thank you for your lovely review. It was a true privilege to be with your family looking after Dad at such a special time. He was a wonderful man and you are all a real credit to him. I am really pleased you were happy with the service. With best wishes, Josh
