Testimonials

  • 'Rebecca, Honora, Daniela and Angela made it possible for Flor to experience home as a very safe environment over the last 10 days. They were totally dedicated and so supportive. I am  indebted to Rebecca in particular as she carried the major burden of care. She worked so hard in an incredibly focussed way to give him the best care possible. She brought him back to full strength after his hospitalisation. She has been really remarkable and impressive.'

  • 'I’ve never looked back since joining the Co-op, it’s the best thing I ever did. I now have a voice. We work with clients and their family to co create care plans. Nothing is hidden, we have a say in everything. We support, encourage and learn from each other. We are valued for what we do and treated with respect and dignity. None of this was possible with my previous employers.”
