    Thank you for the beautiful card in memory of RB.   The loving care in which you have provided for her in recent years has enabled her to live in her own home, as she clearly wanted.   The dedication of the caregivers and the efficiency of the office staff combined to support our family and give a sense of reassurance in the knowledge that R was being professionally, yet sensitively cared for.   As a family, we are pleased to have spent a wonderful Christmas Day with R. She quietly enjoyed the occasion, even joining in a game of cards, but her main contribution to the conversation was to recall, in some detail, her outing to the Pantomime with Home Instead – a lovely memory for her.   Our sincere appreciation for your services. - Family of RB
