What people like about the care they are receiving from SPDNS:

Without the care I could not live at home and I would like to say thank you

I can tell my carers anything, also I can have a laugh with them 

The carers always greet me by name, call me by my name and say goodbye to me (daughter of service user)

Positive, caring, professional, friendly 

The carers are well suited to my mother, they are caring and extremely reliable

If I want to talk how I am feeling they listen what I said, illness or any problem I have. They are very friendly towards me

The company of your carers

The people who come are delightful and we are glad to welcome them to our home

Staff in the office are always friendly and helpful
