What our clients love about us

Peter -Melbourne

A special thank you needs to go to you. Not only did you organise everything under Shirley’s roof magnificently but nothing ever seemed a problem, whether it be late at night or on the weekend. I guess it’s easy enough to pay for care but what we received in return were carers, including you, who genuinely cared about the patient.
Peter

Frank – Melbourne

Thank God for Prestige Inhome Care. My father needed personal care support to come home [from hospital]. Every person from Prestige has been knowledgeable, courteous and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble. What an amazing service.
Frank
Melbourne

Beverley – Geelong

What a privilege for Adrian and myself to be with Prestige. Our carers are awesome and give us quality care and the fact that Adrian loves and trusts them are a bonus, due to him being autistic. The loving support and care we receive are very, very much appreciated. I am so very glad and happy you are in our lives.

Jessen Family – Golden Beach

My mum is a different person when Jacinta arrives, which makes me incredibly happy. Jacinta's care, advice, and support are invaluable…we are deeply grateful for her dedication and support.

Anna-Mount Martha
