## Why families choose Montessori Care

### Montessori-trained carers

Our carers encourage you to do what you can, supporting rather than taking over.

### Gender-matched carers available

We understand personal care is intimate. Tell us your preference and we’ll match accordingly.

### Flexible scheduling

Morning, evening, or weekend, care fits your routine, not the other way around.

### Family communication

Families receive updates after each visit so everyone stays informed.

*“The carer who helps Dad shower is so patient and kind. Dad actually looks forward to her visits now. That says everything.”*
