Health & Social Care

Suggested by Jackie Semple

Jackie writes, “Annette has led and developed over a period of several years, a respite facility for people with mental health issues and more recently those in crisis, as an alternative to hospital admission.
She has created a warm, welcoming home and all those in her temporary care feel safe and secure in the knowledge that she is 100% on their side, never judges and has a level of understanding that is second to none.
Aside from her superb human skills she has constantly developed and improved her knowledge, understanding and capability, all to provide the best she can for others.

I work in mental health alongside and with Annette. We have known each other for many years and share a mutually trusting relationship. I have absolute faith that Annette will always support, encourage and empower those who stay with her.”
