About Roy and Diane

Roy and Diane’s home care story started 24 years ago.

Roy and Diane’s home care story started 24 years ago. They bumped into each other while hanging out with their friends at various pubs on Friday nights. After dating for six months, they became a couple. Roy was an engineer working in Skegness, and Diane was a careers advisor for offenders working in an open prison.

Before Roy’s condition progressed, they enjoyed travelling all over Lincolnshire and ending their explorations at a village pub, where they first met. Even though Roy’s mobility was restricted due to his condition, they still enjoyed getting out and about. They walk their two dogs and socialize with friends and family. Roy always makes time to go out for his weekly coffee, and Diane attends her Zumba class.

Our Day with Roy and Diane

We visited Roy and Diane at their home, where Roy receives home care from our team.

In 1999, Roy was diagnosed with MS. He was still able to work for about 16 years after his diagnosis because he could still walk and use his arms. Roy and Diane reminisced about their work and relationship history. Roy enjoyed teaching and found it satisfying when people passed their exams. However, Roy’s condition became progressive, and he could no longer work at all. He could only use one hand.

Why they prefer home care 

We talked with the couple about their experience with our home care service and how they found The Great Care Company.

Diane explained that we provided an initial consultation and asked for their requirements, and she has been pleased with the service we have provided.

Having a care service at home has helped Roy to continue living his life on his terms. He tries to do as much as he can, but on days when he needs more assistance, he knows our team is there to help him. Diane mentioned that the home care assistants…

Make me feel really quite at ease because nothing too much trouble. I can go out and leave them with Roy as they know what his needs are and I have peace of mind knowing that when they leave he’s ok’.
