Our CAREGivers

Awards were also presented to individual CAREGivers for their outstanding service achievements over the past year, as nominated by Home Instead Senior Care clients in the area. ‘Our team meets regularly,’ said Linda Johnson. ‘We share details of our day-to-day experiences so we all learn what our clients prefer, how they feel about our service and how we can continue to support people who prefer an independent lifestyle in their own homes. We have a great team spirit and this shows in the cheerfulness, enthusiasm and quality of our care.’
