As the holiday season draws near, life’s pace tends to quicken – gift lists grow, gatherings abound and homes fill with festive cheer.
For our cherished clients, Acquaint is here to bring ease, joy and thoughtful touches to each and every moment of this busy season.
From handling the practical to enhancing the memorable, here’s what our little birdies have to say about how Acquaint can support you and your loved ones this holiday season.
On the first day of Christmas, Acquaint gave to me…
A way to stay where I want to be.
You know what they say, darling. Home is where the heart is. And we would never deign to take your heart away from you. Which is why, with Acquaint, you can stay living in your element – at home – for as long as you want.
On the second day of Christmas, Acquaint gave to me…
2 hands helping,
And a way to stay where I want to be.
Put us to work, dearest! The washing? The dishes? The gifts for the grandkids? We’ve got all of it covered. And we’re not afraid to place a few (veiled) threats to Mr Claus to ensure your loved ones get the best of the best, if necessary.
On the third day of Christmas, Acquaint gave to me…
3 errands running,
2 hands helping,
And a way to stay where I want to be.
This time of year is, inherently, incredibly busy – as you well know. So why waste any more time than necessary running around ticking items off your to-do list? Let us help you with that.
On the fourth day of Christmas, Acquaint gave to me…
4 hours of respite,
3 errands running,

And a way to stay where I want to be.
Goodness, your family worries. But they do it because they love you.
So, let’s give them the freedom to step out and enjoy the holiday merriment for a few hours. Meanwhile, you will have the freedom to finally air your thoughts to your Acquaint carer about the drab decorations down the street – without having to hear your loved ones call you ‘judgemental’.
Sometimes, good taste is a burden.
On the fifth day of Christmas, Acquaint gave to me…

Overnight care is no tall order for us at Acquaint, even during the holidays. So we’ll stay with you for as long as you need to make sure you get your beauty sleep. And if that means shushing a few heavy-hoofed reindeer on your roof? Then that’s what it means.

As if we’d allow your nearest and dearest to come over for a meal without first ensuring they have a place to sit that’s fit for royalty. These holidays, take the cutlery away from the uninformed, for goodness sake, and let us set the table.
