Rita B.

“Rita has been one of Mrs. A's regular carers for the past 4months or so. She is very polite, decent and a team player. She gets on very well with the other carers and does her job to expectation. She is punctual and hardworking. It is always nice to have her around every now and again. She is very gentle and friendly with Mrs. A. She also treats her with great respect. It is very rare these days to meet people like her. We wish her all the very best in everything she intended doing in the future.”

“Rita has been caring for my mother for few years now. She was sent to my mother because she speaks Russian and therefore they could communicate and practise a lot which my mother enjoyed a lot. She had always been very punctual, energetic, positive, eager to learn and improve. She is also a very confident person which will always help her in life. She is a very healthy and strong person who cares a lot about hygiene, too. I have never seen her being ill or sick throughout the years and that proves to bee she's always responsible.”

“Rita was interviewed and subsequently appointed firstly as a companion/carer for my father-in-law and eventually also for my mother-in-law. Rita remained until the sad demise of my mother-in-law, at home, in February 2008. Rita carried out her duties in a most caring and efficient manner and was a great comfort to both my mother and father-in-law and the family. I visited and stayed there on a weekly basis and therefore witnessed at first hand Rita's 'caring'. We found Rita trustworthy, reliable and always acting with great integrity. Rita is extremely polite and courteous. The family were happy for Rita to have a set of keys for personal access to the flat. Lastly, her punctuality and attendance were always excellent.”

“Rita helped to look after my mother in her hundredth year in her capacity as home carer, last year between February 2016 and July 2016 when my mother passed away. Rita looked after my mother in all day stints on a rota with other carers. With some help for the heavier nursing duties, she did everything for my mother - kept her comfortable, well fed (which wasn’t easy), clean and happy. She gave her conversation and companionship and everything she asked for, and she liaised with me on all of the previous, keeping me informed of my mother’s progress, telling me how the rota was going more generally, raising any problems with me with tact and attention to detail, which was very helpful. Rita was punctual and reliable, also a very patient and warm person with the elderly. I was very grateful to her, and enjoyed her company myself.”
