Excellent & Accommodating Services
I have an 84-year-old dad who lives at home. His mobility is impaired although he wanted to be independent for as long as he can, Kare Seniors took his case into close consideration, The kare Seniors’ team and I agreed for a support worker to come twice a week to help him with his needs or check if all his necessities are in order, His favourite part of the week is when they take him out on any social events or community activities. My father wanted to be familiar with the same support worker so overtime he feels more comfortable & has really built a strong bond with her. She is willing to do personal assistance like light housekeeping and domestic assistance for him, help him with his weekly shopping, laundry, and also make sure he takes his medication on time. The Kare Seniors team ensured my dad is safe but genuinely happier too, our family is so very grateful- Thanks You.

It’s all in the name. It’s a definite, they do care about our seniors. Since Covid I have been receiving weekly health checks asking about how my father is. The ladies I deal with at Kare Seniors are super friendly, supporting, polite, communicative and very accommodating with requests for my father. They make you feel like part of their family. Kare Seniors tick all my boxes. Overall they provide impeccable service. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.
