Q1Care Ltd has really gone above and beyond their remit in order to help us care for my father. He was taken ill with a mouth infection and they helped us to source dentists, organised a doctor's visit, went to check on him when no one could contact him and stayed with him until the doctor arrived. They then collected his medication from the pharmacy, keeping us informed by phone and email all the time. The manager was and is amazing, nothing is ever too much trouble for her and her team. We are very grateful that we have Q1Care Ltd looking after Dad.
Thank you for your kind words we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. You are all a valued part of the Q1 Care family. Thank you from myself and all the team for the chocolates, they were very much appreciated. It was a pleasure meeting you face to face. Safe travels home.
