Testimonials

"My sister needed to be brought back from Palm Springs after her husband suffered cardiac arrest. She is in need of 24 hour care and we were thrilled to have an amazing aide to her rescue. Tanya flew Palm Springs and brought her back to Kelowna. I have had several calls now from her Palm Springs friends marvelling at how amazing Tanya was at her duties as her Care Aide. Thank you so much Tanya!"

"Tanya was an integral part of my wife’s care during a particularly difficult period. The complexity of her health issue required meticulous planning and coordination for various outings and appointments. Tanya skillfully managed everything from assisting with dressing to lifting my wife into the wheelchair, navigating it into the van, and maneuvering through tight spaces at appointments.
In addition, Tanya took on the crucial tasks of preparing and administering food and medication, as well as providing daily personal care. Her extensive knowledge and experience, combined with her calm and organized approach, brought a sense of reassurance and stability during this challenging time.
Tanya conducted herself with exceptional grace and dignity. We are profoundly grateful for her dedicated support and the comfort she provided."
