So our Servicing Superheroes came to her rescue!  Our engineer Phil was able to attend their site, diagnose the part which was needed, sourced the part and was able to fit it and get it back up and working within a few days. Our contact at the home told us: **‘I can’t speak highly enough of Phil and Lee, your servicing team, they were fantastic! Without them being able to help me out and provide such a quick  response and repair service on my Stand Aid, we would have had a lady who would have had to be hoisted, reducing her mobility and compromising her independence. They really were life savers for me’** Hcsuk General Manager Lisa Slater commented: ‘We fully understand that care equipment breakdowns can be detrimental to the quality of care and independence of the people you support, the safety of your staff and to your workload, so we provide you with a highly responsive call out and speedy efficient repairs, helping you to keep any disruptions to your business to a minimum. **You can benefit from our ‘Same Day’\* and Next Day call out services in genuine emergencies** for local care homes within a 30 mile radius of Eastwood – that’s why we operate within a 30 mile radius, to ensure we can always offer a fast response service to our customers.
