Real stories

Take a look through the real stories of just a few of the clients that we support every day who all have varying life-limiting conditions and needs.

We go above and beyond to ensure that our clients can live the life they want to live and help them to achieve all their aspirations along the way. Most importantly, enabling them to do this from the comfort of their own home.

Could you pass on our thanks and best wishes to the carers.… Alison, Cameron and Mel? All three have been excellent, we really wouldn’t have managed without them and won’t hesitate to get back in touch should the need arise. It’s all been really emotional making this decision for my son and I haven’t felt able to speak to them about it so I hope they understand and like I say, they are a credit to Apollo.

Take care and thanks again.

Mum
