Client Testimonials

What clients say about Feros Care Social Groups

Mum hasn’t stopped talking about the trip, she had a wonderful day. To meet other women her age is not something she ever gets to do, most of her outings these days are with her family, she will definitely be booking again.

Janelle

I enjoyed the day very much. Jan and Tomoko were lovely and the day was well organised.

Lorraine

Before Covid, I was often out attending community events, but since I haven’t been able to, I’ve been sitting at home a lot. I enjoyed the farm very much and the staff were very kind and supportive.
