Huge thanks to everyone at Home Instead Lymington for their professional and supportive assistance in providing care for my father.
We needed and received, gentle handholding into the unknown world of care, the team could not have been any more helpful, supportive, professional and caring had they tried.
They introduced the care team to my father over a two-week period in a very sympathetic manner, he was always comfortable and happy in their presence.
It would be fair to say that the care extended to supporting the family during a very difficult time.
The team created a warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere through their professionalism and always had the best interests of every member of the family at heart.
Fabulous service!
