🌟 BECAUSE CARE COMES FIRST 🌟
Like many successful businesses Apollo Care was founded by someone who was determined to do better.
During a normal shift as a community nurse Cheryl visited her regular clients, including a lady who required support to inject her insulin. It was a quick visit timed strategically so that the care agency would then visit to prepare breakfast - well that was the plan anyway.
Often the company providing the care would be extremely late or not even arrive, so naturally being worried, the nurses would have to call to check she was ok and had eaten.
This particular morning, like every morning Cheryl called her patient to check the carers had been - no answer 😢 Cheryl rang the carers and was given an excuse as usual. She explained the importance of having food with in a particular time frame to prevent insulin levels dropping dangerously low but what happened next changed things forever.
The person on the other end of the phone laughed at her!!! Yes - laughed! 😡
Cheryl rushed to check on her patient and found her unresponsive with a dangerously low blood sugar level. 😢
Thankfully the lady recovered, but that day Cheryl set in action a plan that would become Apollo Care with the determination of WE CAN DO THIS BETTER. This ethos formed the basis of our motto and values, so when we say BECAUSE CARE COMES FIRST we really mean it. ###
