Dr Richard Farrar – client, Christies Care
“The commitment shown by the team at Christies Care to their staff training is second to none. The investment they have put into their training facilities is amazing, and I was delighted to be invited to help focus the training as it shows how they put the needs of the client first. I’ve been a client of Christies Care for seven years now and I couldn’t praise them enough for the work that they do.”

“In 2009 I completed a fantastic physical disabilities training course at Christies Care. I felt that the course was very knowledgeable, and thanks to the involvement of Dr Farrar I was really able to gain a deeper understanding of the mindset of the client. As a result of participating in the course I feel that I have a better understanding of my client and this has made a big impact into my daily work. I would thoroughly recommend other carers completed this course.”

“The Learning Disability workshop which was arranged by Christies Care was fantastic. As I have been working closely with an LD client, I wanted to learn how to interact with him on a deeper level.”
Having completed the workshop, I found that I could implement the knowledge into my day to day activities, which has improved communication between myself and my client, and given the client confidence and self-worth.
The enthusiasm and empathy of the lecturers was contagious and I’m pleased that Christies Care has given me the opportunity to expand my knowledge. As a result of the training I received, I am now looking to complete the nationally recognized LDQ.”
