“It’s never too late to improve a life,” says Walfinch franchisee Tiffany Meachim.
“Our client Patrick, who is in his 50s, is prone to balance problems, and was only able to complete ten to 15 steps unaided when he became an hourly care service client with us in March,” says Tiffany, who is managing director the Walfinch franchise covering Mansfield and Ashfield, Notts.
“After daily visits from our care team, who also accompany Patrick round his village on social calls and help him with physiotherapy exercises, he can now walk up to 200 yards!” says Tiffany.
Patrick has had mobility problems since an accident when he was seven and a stroke ten years ago, so his family were stunned on the day that he got up from his chair and walked upstairs – something he had been unable to do for years.
Recently his family contacted Tiffany to say how pleased they were to see the huge improvement in his mobility since she and her team started working with him.
Patrick says: “Walfinch Mansfield is one heck of a company. Everyone who works there from office staff to carers has been absolutely amazing.”
Patrick is not the only one whose life has been improved by Tiffany’s team.
“Recently social services called to say that one of our clients, who is 41 and has a muscle wasting disease, has made so much progress that they had been able to discharge him. They asked us to pass on their thanks to our carers who had help him come so far.”
Tiffany says: “One of my greatest pleasures as a Walfinch franchisee is hearing stories like this. I often get messages telling us what a difference we have made to clients’ lives.
“I pass them all on to everyone including carers, office staff and management, because we are all part of one team working together to improve the quality of life for our clients. The results speak for themselves,” say Tiffany.
Walfinch is looking for new franchisees, who, like Tiffany, prioritise care quality while wanting to build a successful business.
