My mum who has mobility issues and hadn't left the house for 3 years was just picked up by 'Becki & Kerry'. They were wonderful, very professional and put my stressed 84yo mum at ease. I can recommend.
Tanya P.
Dad couldn’t go home after breaking his hip and becoming very confused. We wanted to transfer him to a care home in Cornwall near my sister. Becky and Vicky, the ambulance crew, were so kind to Dad. They transferred him to Cornwall from Slough. Long journey. I followed in my car, they kept me updated and when we stopped I could get in the ambulance to reassure Dad. He loved the crew, he clearly felt safe and happy, as did I. We are so grateful for the help, kindness, good humour and safety that made the transfer easy. Thank you.
