Testimonials

There were times when we hardly knew how to get through the day but knowing that one of you would be coming to take over ……’s care at night kept us going. You made it possible for me to get to my own appointments, knowing that he would be utterly safe in your hands.

We feel privileged to have been able to keep mum at home. Something that wouldn’t have been possible without Kates.

Your quiet professionalism and respect for us all was so much appreciated and made a very traumatic time more bearable. You made sure our precious …… did not suffer any pain and passed away peacefully in her own bed as she wished.

The nurse was a lovely person with immense compassion….she was an ultimate professional throughout…. I truly believe she was an angel sent to care for my wife on her last night, thankyou all for doing such a wonderful job.

What a wonderful bunch you are, without exception. Whoever does the recruitment deserves a star…with much love…

The care given was outstanding, complete and unconditional….thank you so much!

A wonderful caring service that provided extraordinary loving care making my wife’s last few days so peaceful and comfortable. All the nurses were quite simply extraordinary professionals in all they did with devotion to their patient that could not be surpassed, I can find no fault.

Whatever my expectation was at such a time, your nurse exceeded it in spades….absolutely outstanding with her knowledge and understanding, we cannot thank you enough.

You arrived from heaven after I’d had three nights of no sleep. You enabled him to die at home as he wished and you held our hands every step of the way. You are a stunning organisation, with love and thanks.

You appeared like angels when we needed you most and showed, not only genuine love and concern for us but also such gentle kindness and reassurance to our mum. The professional way you all stepped in and respected our situation was a huge comfort to us. How lucky we are to have such amazing charitable nursing care, so close and so quickly available to us, we send heartfelt thanks.

We were so very appreciative of the light and warmth that you brought to us on top of all your skills and expertise. You helped to make those days and weeks not only bearable but also fulfilling and I will treasure that.  Please accept our deepest thanks.

I’m not sure it is easily put into words, but suffice to say that as far as we were concerned, the combination of nurses was absolutely invaluable to us as they joined our Family in caring for Pop through his last days in his own home. Their Compassion, Guidance, Support and Professionalism was second to none, and we simply could not have done without them. Neither shall we ever forget the massive confidence they gave us in enabling this to happen, especially as this was all new and sometimes what felt quite scary territory.
To a person…wow what a crew!!
With our LOVE, GRATITUDE and HUGE THANKS to ALL.

The service couldn’t be faulted. We are indebted for the care and compassion shown, the service was outstanding.

An amazing service. The level of attention to patient care as well as advice given to me was better than we could have expected….everything was perfect!

My husband was adamant that he didn’t want to die in hospital, and we shall be eternally grateful that your nurses made this possible. The care was extremely dignified and caring, and communications with district nurses made the care completely come together.

An excellent service. From the advice given, we all experienced a very peaceful and serene last few days with our mother.

My family and I have nothing but praise for all the nurses you sent, for their sympathectic and professional attitude. When my wife died, the nurse was so helpful, practically and emotionally which was more than one could reasonably expect. I may seem to be singularly uncritical, but my views are based on conviction, not gratitude. Finally a tremendous thankyou to all concerned.

At very short notice, an exceptional quality of nursing care, support and attention were given.

You all helped with the emotional side as well as the care, coming out when district nurses were unavailable, we couldn’t have asked for more, just amazing. Thank you.

You were all brilliant; my husband was treated with the utmost respect and I couldn’t have asked for any more.

I can’t thank you enough for helping us through Mum’s final days; you are all “angels”. Thank you so much for what you did, it was exemplary.

The understanding, emotional support and advice were priceless; I felt I could ask anything. Thank you Kate’s….a small diamond of an organisation, long may you survive and support people through those last precious days of life.

The care they received was excellent and at just the right level for their requirements.

I have very comforting memories of this time and so grateful this organisation was available, to provide a peaceful end to my late family member’s illness.

I will never forget the kindness and professionalism you gave to both of us, and I literally could not have coped without you all.

A big thankyou to all of you lovely people, for making mum’s time at home so comfortable.  Thank you for all your kindness and support to us as a family. You do a wonderful job with such dedication. We will miss seeing you all but wish you all success.

We will never forget how very good you were…and were so happy to have found you. I don’t think we could have coped without you.

We are enormously grateful for the care and support provided by the Kate’s team. It takes a special kind of person to do the work you do – you are all skilled professionals but incredibly caring and generous with your time.

What words can I say to express my appreciation of your nursing skills and loving care.  Every Kate’s Nurse was special, bless you all, it restores one’s faith in human nature.

Having had first hand experience of your nursing team, I was completely amazed at their capacity not only for the efficient and proactive care they provide but also the personal and respectful way they give it and the support they gave to us all during that difficult time. Without doubt they go above and beyond their remit and I will be forever grateful for the hug that your nurse gave me the morning after all of the driver problems. It still brings tears to my eyes when I remember how gentle and sweet she was and I honestly don’t know how our family would have got through that time without you all. Can you please pass on my sincere thanks? There are just not enough words.

Your care and commitment are fantastic.

Although everyone we met during the difficult final weeks of my father’s life were totally professional, it was the people who went beyond this to show kindness and a personal connection who made it all bearable. This was true of each one of the Kate’s Team Quite simply, we could not have managed without you all – and we know that he owes the fulfilment of his wish to die at home, and not in hospital, to your amazing support All the Kate’s nursing team were wonderful – we could not, as a family, have been better cared for We had expected to receive good practical nursing care from the Kate’s nurse, but all the team went way beyond that – they showed genuine care, kindness and empathy.
