“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my mother. You have given her dignity, gentle care and compassion in her last days at Medifrail Centurion. You have given us peace in knowing that you are there with her every step of the way!”
“I really want to thank the team at Hennops for helping and nursing John through a terrible time. I appreciate your care, professionalism, constant updates and communications and the quick, helpful and prompt responses to all our issues and queries. John still has a very long way to go, but we are taking it one day at a time. Thank you for your concern today and message. We’ll keep in touch and call on you for advice when necessary.”
Maria, daughter of Petronella Nel
Margaret Gerritsen
Although the lockdown made things difficult, Gerrida and sister Winnie went out of their way to make everything easier for us. At Olive medifrail, every patient is considered as part of the family – that’s how we felt. Because my mother used to stay with me and my brother, it was difficult for us to allow others to care for her. What a great consolation it was to know that she was cared for by this team of angels. Even in her last hours you were there for her and caring for her. Thank you for the love, care and support to every one of us.
“We are very impressed by Phetla’s improvement. We sincerely thank Hennops Frail centre’s staff and management for the stunning job you perform. Let God bless you all.”
Grietje Odendaal
Phetla’s family
