Louise is a tonic for poorly resident
Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end
Scott Adams
Whilst RLO Louise Langford was surveying for a wet room on Glebe St Oldham on a wet Thursday afternoon the resident mentioned that he was not feeling very well and still had to get his car out to go to the chemist for his prescription.
Louise kindly volunteered to go and collect the prescription to save the resident having to drag themselves out in the bad weather when not feeling very well. The resident accepted and said that was very kind!
