"Dad was admitted to hospital 5 weeks ago and was, deteriorating rapidly missing the home he was born and raised in and still lives in today at age 90. We were racking our brains what to do Wednesdays and Thursdays as my sister and I work and were scared of him going on his routine pm walk which he wasn't strong enough to do. Lightening the Load picked up the slack literally. Lightening the Load have played cards and dominoes with dad, they have a laugh with him and now he is going to be at a more suitable time of 8.45 pm. Before, due to boredom, he was going to bed at 5 pm. Thank you for relieving some pressure and for your staff being well suited to such a profession."

"Dad went out for cake and coffee today with Lightening the Load, something he would never normally do. Trying to get him motivated and seeing him uninspired and lonely is just dreadful but I can honestly say that Lightening the Load is changing his world. Thank you for being a new friend to dad and for helping to make his life so much brighter and more positive."

"There is only one service I would use to look after my husband when I go out and that's yours because you are the only ones I trust - you're all amazing".
