TESTIMONIAL
Thank you so much for all you and your staff have done to help out our family.
It was the most mentally relaxing respite we have had in the whole of our son's years.
Knowing that he was at home, the consistency of staff (Mel and Steve) competency, dedication, knowledge and reliability made the time away so much more relaxing and our confidence in who was there left us feeling comfortable to go.
The constant updates and messages, were an added bonus to what we have had in the past.
We are so very blessed.
The quality that your staff offer is second to none and we will never stop singing the praise of what you have to offer to the community of situations like ours.
One very thankfully and now refreshed family

" Patrik and the team at Intensive Care At Home were so professional and supportive in assisting me with honoring my Grandma’s wishes to pass away at home.
The nursing staff that looked after my grandmother were amazing and showed so much love and respect towards her. The level of care she received was very comforting to me. Patrik was also always available when I had questions or needed advise.
I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through this difficult period without them." - from Melanie
It's as if the fairies have arrived, I have never experienced anything like this before.
The knowledge, the clarity, the skill coupled with the humanity, seeing my son as more than a 'patient', leaves me in awe.
There is no one like Pam, no doctor, or nurse, she is remarkable.
Rochelle seems like a perfect fit too.
ICAH provides an incredible service. - Karen.
