Community Support Services
"I have had contact with Chaucer Homecare since I first moved into my present accommodation. The workers described aptly, I thought, as 'foot soldiers in care provision' have offered me a high level of support which has gradually got more helpful over time. I particularly like my present worker who has a laugh with me, never saying "You must do this" or "Why aren't you doing such and such?"'. (former client)
