Cathy's Story
"Every time Dad's needed something, it's done. It's just like magic. Even things I didn't think of they would do."
Cathy never really thought about home care for her parents before needing it. She hadn't even considered aged care.
"I told them I wasn't coping. You try and put on a brave face, but with Mum, I still had two kids at home while I was working. It was pretty much, we need to get help, or I'm going to have to get help for me."
The worst of it started when Cathy's mum got sick. Lung cancer. That was over 10 years ago. But since using St Vincent's home care, it's taken the weight off Cathy and her whole family.
"Thankfully with St Vincent's, they let the same girls come. They built up trust. They got to know the girls and then they started to look forward to them coming."
Cathy's dad Jack, agrees.
"I was only saying to the girls this morning how pleased I am with them all."
"Ten out of 10 as far as I'm concerned."
