(as a relative),

Bernarde, who is the environmental Equipment Officer visited my husband and I because of my husband's hearing loss . 

She quickly established the situational difficulties for both of us, in terms of communication, as my husband has difficulty picking up what I say to him . She installed 2 pieces of equipment  to make our lives easier . She was patient  in explaining how to use them ,very efficient. ( I'm 81 ) they offered to come back again if we needed  further assistance  in using them . She checked the previously installed special smoke alarm and updated advice . 

Bernarde also left full contact details for us ,which was very reassuring.  She also requested that I contact after 2 weeks to let her know how we are managing  the new technology.  

A great service . Thank you

Thanks you so very much for taking the time to post this lovely feedback. I'm delighted to hear that Bernarde was able to make life a little easier through the equipment she was able to provide and that your previous equipment was checked that it was still working well. The feedback you provide is invaluable so one again thanks you so much for taking the time to do this. I will make sure Bernarde is made aware.

Regards
