Gabriel and Samuel’s Gnome Garden
Brothers Gabriel and Samuel are following in the footsteps of their garden-loving grand- parents, having recently developed green thumbs of their own.
The boys’ latest creation ‘Gabriel and Samuel’s Gnome Garden’ saw them take out top prize at the Queensland Beautiful Homes Competition
for the second year in a row.
Their Just Better Care Townsville Community Support Professional, Matthew, will take them to spend their winnings, and most importantly, have some cake to celebrate!
Gabriel and Samuel are setting their sights high, already planning their designs for next year’s competition.
Some kind words from a Just Better Care Ryde Parramatta and Bankstown customer
“I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the service mum is receiving from Just Better Care.
Mum loves having Kathy, Larisca and Sharon visit her every week. Her eyes light up every time she sees them.
Larisca, being from the local area, takes mum to her favourite cafes. Though mum may not remember the locations, it’s lovely she is going to familiar places.
Kathy is so lovely and I feel I can completely trust her with anything involving mum. I was so glad mum was quite relaxed about attending the doctor with Kathy recently. Not too long ago, mum would never have agreed to that.
Sharon is also so caring, and she keeps the bathroom and kitchen spotless, which is an added bonus.
I love them too, knowing they all make her feel special. They are very approachable when I have
to discuss anything with them. A huge weight
has been lifted off my shoulders knowing mum is receiving care as good as mine, and probably much better than what I have been able to give her.
I also want to thank the women in the office - Gabby, Sophia and Kanwal. The fact that they are familiar with mum and are so easy to speak with on the phone is great. Knowing that I can feel confident my requests will be passed on in a timely manner makes such a big difference.”
All of this has allowed me to concentrate on getting myself well after being ill, and now
I am feeling much better and more optimistic than I have in a long time.”
