Nichola shines bright

has been supporting me for a matter of months as I was struggling at
home. She came and completed an assessment and liaised directly with social services
and I now have carers coming in three times-a-day to support me in the home. Nichola
also put me in touch with the complex care nurse who supports me with my diabetes.
