”During the months my mother had the meals she got to know the drivers well, looking forward to their visit each day, and she became quite fond of them, in particular a driver called Vic. She had so much benefit from the meals and her appetite, albeit small, did improve. I couldn’t fault the service you gave and the kindness of the drivers was much appreciated by both mum and me, they really brightened up her day! Please accept my personal thanks for your caring and valuable service.”
