Self-Managed Client
“At last the freedom I’ve always wanted. To have a say in who comes and goes in my care team. My Physio, house cleaner! And support personal are all on board and the transition was seamless and easy. If an 81 year old can do it, anyone can. My only regret is! That I didn’t do it long ago. So why didn’t I? Because I didn’t know I could. I’m looking forward to a long and happy partnership with Gratitude.”
Self-Managed Client
“I’m so glad I made the decision to change to self managed with Gratitude, after 4 years of being managed. I now look forward to the services I chose and need. Best of all, nobody who walks through my door, is a stranger. They are personally chosen, by me.”
