Hi my name is Bree and I am a Parcare participant. In the past I have struggled with other support workers/companies and I was in a situation with an independent support worker who was not very reliable, responsible or a good fit. I was able to touch base with Parcare and talk about my experience. I felt like I was actually listened to and talking to someone who actually cared about me and then I made arrangements to join Parcare and have felt that way every single day ever since. Every day is productive, exciting and fun I know I am in the best hands that NDIS can offer any participant, I don’t have to worry about anything I am well respected and treated with dignity, I am happy Parcare have gone absolutely above and beyond for my happiness and welfare and I feel very secure. Everything is going to be fine now I can envision a long and rewarding future with Parcare and feel very privileged to be with Parcare safe and sound.
