Abigail says:
_"Working for Home Instead was like joining a family.

Not just do I get to look after my clients in the way I would like my mum to be looked after but I feel looked after as well.

I get paid a good wage that reflects management understanding the rising cost of living, but also because management give me the support, time and trust I need to do the best job I can.

This is one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever done for a company that really does what it promises, care for people.
