Lisa had always prided herself on caring for her 83-year-old mum, June. But when Lisa’s own daughter became unwell, everything unravelled.
“I was burning out. I didn’t want to admit it — but I needed help.”
That’s when she found Carelio. Within 48 hours, a warm, experienced carer named Trisha was introduced. She stayed for five nights, offering personal care, medication reminders, and calm companionship.
“Mum called her a ‘breath of fresh air’. For the first time in months, I slept through the night without guilt.”
Lisa still provides care — but now, she takes regular respite breaks, knowing June is in safe hands.
