Sheila lives alone in the Hollington area. She has two Sons, who she is very close to but they live out of the area. Until a package was put into place for Sheila, she was lonely and struggled with living alone.

Since April 2019 Coast Home Care provided a home care package which consists of two visits a day along with three one and half hour visits for cleaning and taking her out for coffee. Also Sheila has a visit of two hours every week to take her food shopping.

Lisa is her main carer, but everyone who visits her says "Everybody loves Sheila".

We all know how much Sheila loves animals, so on a Friday afterwork Cindy occasionally pops in to see her with her dog Honey and to take some fish and chips, which they enjoy together.

Sheila's quality of life has dramatically improved, she describes us all at Coast Home Care as a "her tonic".
