Awesome Praise
I don’t know what I (or my wife) would have done without the services and staff of Care & Company. For several years, they have provided me with useful exercise therapy in my home and referred me to the Geriatric Physio Department at the Royal Jubilee Hospital where I received further exercise therapy for various physical conditions. When my wife planned out-of-town trips, they coordinated evening companionship for me. In addition to the exercises, my care aide comes several times a week to attend physician and specialist appointments, and take me out for shopping and errands.
