Testimonial
"Sadly, our uncle was developing dementia and could not walk anymore, it had become necessary to put facilities in place to help him manage his affairs. To achieve this, we needed a professional assessment of his capacity to manage his affairs. He had always been a proud and a private man, to achieve this would need very sensitive and skilful handling. We asked Thornton & Lee for help to complete a COP3 assessment. The Assessor was wonderful. She contacted the care home and arranged a meeting in friendly and personal surroundings at the care home. We attended the meeting with her. The Assessor was extremely patient and treated our uncle with respect and compassion. I have never seen someone handle a difficult situation so well. She was thoroughly professional and gained our uncle’s trust, not an easy thing to achieve. The Assessor did not rush to meet a deadline; she asked highly relevant questions in a very effective and caring way taking over one and a half hours. The communication and response has been quick and efficient, with no delays. In our experience and opinion, The Assessor was highly competent, thoroughly professional and one of the rare breed that is truly passionate about what she does and how she cares about people. Highly Recommended".
