“The house is the way I like it. It still looks as nice as ever and I am happy here. My two main carers Leanne and Susan have been wonderful, supportive, kind and helpful and I believe that I can say that we have become very good friends. The others have been very good as well. Also, I welcome your visits from time to time, not to mention the dogs! I feel that I really know both of you and that you understand my circumstances.”

Mrs H, Bath.

“Dear Anne and Anna,
… I just wanted to record my family's thanks for all that you and your Agency did to enable my mother to stay happily in her home, despite her deteriorating degenerative condition.

It was quite hard for my mother to come to terms with the fact that she needed live-in care and my first forays in to trying to organise it weren't entirely successful. But I'm really grateful to the friend who gave me the Convivium name. I was really impressed at the way you took time to meet us and assess what was required and thereafter kept in regular touch to ensure things were running smoothly.

I was also impressed by the way you cared about your carers … It seems obvious that if you look after your staff and address their concerns promptly, they will feel valued and perform all the better for it. We met some lovely people through your Agency doing difficult and often distasteful work willingly and uncomplainingly….

My mother was still able to enjoy her family and friends and the life that she led in her own home. Without the wonderful care of your staff, supported by you, this would not have been possible…. I would have no hesitation in recommending Convivium Care….’

Mrs J. K. (daughter of Dorset client).

“The arrangements you make are excellent are far as I'm concerned.”

Mrs H., Berkshire (age 90)

“It was good to talk to you on the telephone and thank you very much for your understanding and concern.”

Mrs B, South Glos. (age 90)

“Everything has been wonderful. I went away quite happily knowing that father would be okay. It's been quite fabulous. You are a marvellous agency.”

Mrs J. B., Somerset

“…with very many thanks. A great success and marvellous help and support.”

Caroline S. Hampshire

“I can never thank you enough for arranging what was to be the terminal care of my dear Dad. We couldn't have asked for anyone more ideal than Anna. I am so grateful for your help and support that enabled Dad to die in his own home - respecting his wish.”

Mrs H. G. Berkshire.

“Thank you very much. Amelia was excellent. If I need someone again I will contact you. I think I've been well cared for. Thank you for all your help and all the nice people you've sent to me. ”

Mrs B. Hampshire.

“Thank you very much for arranging for Carla to come here and look after me. I am so happy to be back at home with her to care for me.”

Mrs F. Bath (age 98).

“Dear Anne and Anna - Convivium,

Thank you so much for your card but above all for the way you have helped my family care for my mother.

We cannot speak highly enough of the way Barbara helped my mother. She became a friend of my mother …She has gone the second mile for us and we are very grateful.”

Mr S. L. (son of Dorset client)

“We both feel Rachel is so right… …We both feel at home with her. She is so organised and I feel she is part of the family. Also an excellent housekeeper. Doesn't waste a thing and checks the cupboards before buying. She also tells Mum exactly what she is up to and seems to strike the right balance between space and having chats. .. thank you again for all you are doing for us.”

Miss Y, Bristol

“We really appreciate the kindness of Jackie and Laura in the care of our parents. They are so happy with the care they are receiving from Jackie and Laura c/o Convivium. Thank you all.”

Ms S. Hants

“Mary was splendid and seemed to settle in so easily…We would be glad to employ a carer from you again and would give you much more notice! Many Thanks.”

Mrs M, Wilts

“Amazed at how easily Lisa fitted in to family life and with such enthusiasm and generosity”

Ms D, Somerset.

“Rachael is doing a wonderful job and allowing Mum to live as full and active a life as possible….Mum is certainly able to live in her own home with dignity and respect, further there is a mutual respect and liking between herself and Rachael she is first class!

Thank you for your very professional support. The carer's job here at the farm is very much compounded by housekeeping and maintaining a very large house and garden and by very difficult farming times. Your carer is handling this well”

Dr B (daughter of client in Dorset.)
