I am delighted to leave a review for Xandria @ Sips & Smiles.
Xandria cared for my mother who had dementia, until her final few months when she passed away.
Myself, and my husband, are both ex-children's social workers, so we were quite particular in whom we chose to look after her when we were unable on occasions, due to work commitments.
Xandria is a completely, wholesome, caring person, who had my mum's best interests at heart.
She is skilled, caring and compassionate, and Xandria's love of art worked well with my mum, who also loved her painting.
I would highly recommend Xandria to anyone.
Please note, she does not do personal care, but apart from that, she is amazing!

Brilliant service. Xandria looked after my dad, and she was amazing. We already had other carers coming in for dad's daily routine, but we hired Xandria as an add-on to keep him engaged, and it was the best decision. Just her presence would instantly calm him down. She always planned interesting outings for him, and he came back so inspired and motivated. Her sense of humour always had him smiling.
She also provided good emotional support to us. Highly recommend her services alongside other carers. Thank you, Xandria!

Xandrea has an amazing way with dementia sufferers, being incredibly supportive both to us as caregivers and to my Mum who has dementia. She is a real expert on communicating with people living with dementia and has helped us so much, and calmed my Mum down in several situations - we are incredibly grateful to her. Very highly recommended!

Thank you so much, Catherine. I appreciate your support on every step since I have been attending your mum. It's always a pleasure being with her and working through different situations. SHe is wonderful! I feel priviledged being helpful to her and the family. Thank you.
