“Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission – to be of service to them whenever they require it.”
St Francis of Assisi
Our People
We are very proud of our care teams and the positive feedback they receive.
We care about our people as much as we care for our clients. The ethos based on the teachings of St Francis of Assisi run deep through our organisation making it a positive place to work. There is a wide diversity of race, religion, gender and age in our team, but we are all valued equally. As a result, we work exceptionally well together and our clients benefit from key workers that really care about their physical and emotional needs.
Our carers are fantastic!
“I am a very honest man, and if you ask me to speak the truth I have to say it: Our carers are fantastic! Lovely people, doing a lovely job with the most lovely manners. I do not have any complaints Our caregivers are all different, speaking with different accents and coming from different places, but they all are equally, absolutely fantastic!! Well done!!”

My carers are my friends
“I am so happy with my carers especially M and D. They take such good care of me, bathing me and feeding me and doing all they can to help me. My carers are my friends, they show real interest in my well being. The field supervisor is always interested in my needs as well. Good team, well done.”

Georgiana R is our General Manager, the majordomo – the cornerstone of the organisation. An opera lover, she conjures the image of Diana Damrau playing the Queen of the Night in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”. Trained in the law, she has oversight of just about everything and everyone. Focused on discipline and efficiency, she is the “go to” person in the organisation. A well-grounded, sensible individual who also has a kind heart and caring disposition.
Fahad K is our Business Development Manager. He dreams of a world where every healthcare worker can be freed from mundane tasks through automation so that they can spend more time with those they look after. A fitness enthusiast and fine cricketer in his youth, Fahad brings tremendous zeal and energy to realize the company’s ambitious plans to leverage technology to improve quality and productivity. His chiseled features and stern demeanor belie a kind heart.
Alina M is our Nursing Agency Administrator. Like the character, Winston Wolfe in “Pulp Fiction”, she is our fixer – a no-nonsense performer who gets the job done with style and efficiency under pressure. Our clients and agency staff love her because she always finds solutions with a positive, “can do” attitude. Alina loves challenges and identifies perfectly with the spiritual dimension involved in the work we do.
Rebecca B is our HR Executive – Staff Welfare and Development. This Sorbonne-educated Fiorentina loves people and animals passionately just like our icon, St Francis of Assisi. An avid reader, she quotes Milan Kundera as her inspiration, “Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.” This says everything about her.
Dana M is a key member of our incredible domiciliary care team. The 22-year old Guildfordian has come a long way since joining the company as a teenager some 3 years ago. Hard work, perseverance and a passion for her work has propelled her not only to receive several accolades for her work but also to obtain an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care. This pretty lass is definitely slated for bigger things.
Sumana H is the Executive Assistant to our CEO also in charge of managing the HR unit. Blessed with “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” calmness and poise, she is perfectly suited for her role in recruiting and nurturing the employees who are behind the company’s success. She is the Athena amongst us, personifying wisdom, good counsel, and fairness while exercising firmness and practicality in dealing with our employees. Just like Goddess who guarded Athens, she is the guardian of our reputation for professionalism and quality.
Charles AJ is our “joie de vivre” Pain Relief Therapist. He started to train as an Acupuncturist after working in the care industry. Many of his charges suffered from chronic and incurable pain. He experienced first hand the sad and devastating impact of opioids and surgery as the default treatments. He decided there had to be a better way and has never looked back. With missionary zeal, Charles promotes Acupuncture and other alternative treatments like Ayurveda, Compression Therapy and Photobiomodulation for pain relief and management.
Dr Khalid M is an Osteopath, Acupuncturist, Sports Medicine Expert and the list goes on. He is truly a man for all seasons. Having dedicated his life to the study and practice of pain relief and management, Dr Khalid is an invaluable member of our clinical homecare team, offering state-of-art as well as traditional pain relief and management and reablement services. He is a great advocate of “meaningful healing” which he describes as; “A journey that takes clients from diagnostics to the restoration of functionality and ultimately, the achievement of harmony of mind and body to freely enjoy life.” An ardent cricketer, he is a qualified MCC coach and indulges in this gentleman’s game in his spare time.
Silvia P is our Deputy Manager (Care Operations) tasked with maintaining our high-quality standards in service delivery. A quote from one of our clients aptly describes her, “She wraps herself in strength, carries herself with confidence, and works hard strengthening her arms for the task in hand”. A great team player, she is the perfect combination of passion, dedication, and hard work. Her determined, courageous, and altruistic nature is reminiscent of the Disney Princess Mulan character. In her free time, Silvia heads for the coast. She loves walking along the beach to enjoy the beauty and harmony of the ocean and waves.
Mirela L represents the best among our amazing team of care delivery staff. She is a firm believer in the philosophy; “The power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring has the power to turn a life around”. Lovingly called “Bella” by her clients, our beautiful Mirela is truly an empathetic, cheerful, and professional colleague and friend to her many clients. She is a trained nurse and comes with years of clinical experience and multifarious skills in caring for clients with chronic health conditions.
Julia M is our dynamic Accounts Executive who is a perfectionist and a consistent performer. Her hard work is reflected in her spotless accounting portfolio. A team player, always willing to learn, her attractive personality is liked by her colleagues. This charming Spanish ‘chica‘ from Granada wants to keep her life simple. Getting excited about a good movie or taking her dog out for a walk are some of her unembellished pleasures of life.
Sarah C is another of our amazing Field Supervisors. Zestful and strong, she leaves no stone unturned and is both vigilant and extremely supportive to our wonderful team of carers. Her grit and dedication towards her work and at the same time, keeping balance and juggling motherhood makes her a superhero in every sense. She reminds us of Elastigirl later Mrs Incredible of The Incredibles. She finds solace in reading books when she manages to get some time for herself.
