“Highly recommend the Taking Care Mobile Massage team, particularly that it's so convenient for elderly people to receive a massage in their own home. Mum says the Massage Therapists are very caring and gentle. I've found the admin staff very friendly. They've returned calls promptly when I've made an enquiry, and they always give a reminder phone call to Mum, a few days before her scheduled fortnightly massage.”
