“Valuable, clear information. This was something new to me, so made me realise that we should all be having these conversations with our loved ones“.
“I found the information very helpful, the cards will help me discuss with my girls because this subject is taboo to them”.
“It will help us with our decisions and help with my 97 year old mother who has dementia and the care she has“.
