Cheering up our Friday, our lovely Care Professional Aliya popped into the office laden with goodies. Aliya is famous with our office team for her wonderful samosas, which she often cooks and brings in for us. They never last long - they are TOO delicious! She is so thoughtful and generous to always think of us.

Today is Aliya’s birthday, and true to form, she was thinking of others once again. Not only did she bring in her famous samosas, but she also treated us to a birthday cake so we could celebrate with her. What a truly kind heart you have, Aliya!

And it’s not just in the office that Aliya shows such generosity. She is an outstanding Home Instead Care Professional - nothing is ever too much trouble. She has even been known to leave her bed at night to rush to the aid of a client.

So, a huge thank you to you, Aliya. You truly are amazing, and we all wish you the happiest of birthdays! 🎉🎂
