In short, Sylvia has given us our lives back. Sylvia has been caring for my 89-year-old mother, who suffers from a range of medical, mobility, cognitive and emotional issues. The extent of Sylvia’s experience and expertise is clear. Sylvia holds professional qualifications and is kind yet pragmatic. She has a network of care-related specialists (eg podiatrists & sensory care specialists). Sylvia has taken all the stress out of our lives. My mother is now happy, healthy and well-cared for. The care services that Sylvia provides for my mother include: - Personal care - Physical therapy - Cognitive therapy - Allocation of medicines - Hospital visits - Motivation and life-enhancing/fun/social activities - Organising house/garden maintenance - Shopping, cooking & housework - Training others to provide care in a professional way - Managing the care roster. Sylvia handles EVERYTHING that my mother needs. She’s a God-send. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
