Testimonials
| "RockPool's team of mums are literally a life-saver - the perfect support to fit between the state-provided carers and me actually being there." “F- visits my father weekly - she is this versatile woman who just makes things happen. She’s like a superhero to us. From cooking big stews that last a couple of days, to helping with paperwork or solving tech issues, Fiona’s presence has transformed his day-to-day life. She’s become part of our extended family, and the knock-on effect for the rest of us has been huge. It’s not just support for him - it lifts the weight off our shoulders, too. It’s not just about someone doing the chores - it’s the company, the warmth, the reliability and seeing how a family member is after a visit. RockPool is a part of life for us now.” |
