We needed someone to pop in to see Mum for an hour every evening for a period of seven days whilst we were on holiday. It was to make sure Mum had eaten, had her medication and was generally alright. One member of staff initially came out to see Mum and introduce herself to us and was actually one of the carers who visited Mum whilst we were away. Apparently, she had lovely chats with Mum (who is actually a very quiet person). We had already completed a little questionnaire about Mum's interests which was a very thoughtful gesture and meant that Mum could be engaged in conversations that had meaning for her. The main carer very kindly sent me a text message each evening after she (or another carer) had visited to let us know that Mum was ok. This meant a lot to us as it gave us peace of mind. Would definitely use Select Choice again and cannot recommend it highly enough, especially the main carer, who was professional, very friendly and caring.
