Our high client satisfaction reflects the trust families place in us.
Read below what our clients have to say and learn more about what makes us a trusted provider of home care on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Gratifying Care has been wonderful for my mother. The nurses are professional and caring, and they really take time to explain everything. It feels like family looking after her, not just a service.
After my hospital discharge, Gratifying Care’s nurses visited daily to check my wound and make sure I was managing. Their support helped me avoid readmission. I can’t thank them enough.
As a veteran, I appreciate the respect and dignity Gratifying Care shows. They understand DVA services and make everything easy. The team is reliable and I look forward to their visits.
My Mom’s caregiver is wonderful. She helps her in bath, personal hygiene and domestic cleaning. The support worker is wonderful and the overall experience was awesome!
