My name is Elaine Kelly and I have worked for both the public and private care sectors for the past 10 years, as both a care assistant and latterly as a branch manager for two successful domiciliary care agencies.

The experience I gained from working in the NHS, in local authority and private care institutions gave me the inspiration to start my own service, focusing on the social care aspects that are just as important to people, yet sadly can be less of a priority.

As well as my experience, I am also qualified to level 2 and 3 N.V.Q in Health and Social care.

Eldon Friends provides a comprehensive service of home care which, in comparison to the quality of other care providers I have experienced, is very much better. I enjoy and look forward to their visits, because the many things they do make life seem easier. Elaine visits me 3 days a week. She cooks me breakfast (excellent!), helps with the laundry, housework ,shopping, medication and many aspects of personal care. On her first visit, she quickly understood me, my house, needs, routines and preferences , and soon established a modus operandi which suits me perfectly. She is cheerful, practical and resourceful, and works quickly and willingly through a variety of tasks with many kind offers and plenty of thoughtful extra touches. As I recently had a stroke and live alone with limited ability, assistance of this kind is invaluable and, as I soon found, much to be preferred to rival companies.

Warmly recommended.

Elaine is a wonderful, warm person who finds the perfect balance of
professional and personal. My father means the world to us, and to know
that he’s in safe hands gives us peace of mind. We are so blessed to
have been recommended to her.

After I had a fall a few years ago, I was looked after my operation for two weeks by several, very nice, NHS nurses. When they could not look after me anymore, one of the ladies, who lives in the village, suggested I contact Elaine for the further caring I needed. Most fortunate recommendation ever. Elaine has now looked after me for several years (too senile to say how many years!) She does a great job – always cheerful, attentive and meticulous in looking after me and my house and a good cook: love her dearly.
