Report
Sylvia and her team were incredibly helpful during a tough time for my mother. Mom had just been released from hospital, and returned to her seniors home, but was in quarantine for 2 weeks, and over Christmas. With very short notice, Foothills Home Services Ltd had daily care and companionship provided, as well as assisting with physio exercises. They were compassionate and caring, and our family is very thankful for their work.
