Testimonials

What people have said about us

“To the ellenor nurses, thank you so much for the care and support provided to X and family over the past few years. It is very much appreciated.”

Relative of patient

“Unfortunately, my husband X passed away on X. I feel compelled to write this note to you in thanks for all the help and guidance given to me whilst caring for X at home. During these terrible times of the pandemic, without the ellenor team I would have been completely alone. Special thanks to Julie and the team of nurses for their professionalism, kindness and never-ending patience. Also, thanks to Claire the Occupational Therapist. Many thanks again.”

Relative of patient

“I just want to say thank you for being there for my husband X during his recent illness. Nothing was too much trouble, it was such a comfort to me to know you were just a phone call away.”
