Excellent

Kealey looked after my mother for four days. She adapted quickly to our house, and she took control confidently. She established a good relationship with Mum right away, was kind, engaged with Mum verbally, and understood her needs. Everything went smoothly, and Kealey kept in touch with us regularly.
