The talk of the town - private home care

Acquaint clients overheard

Wander around Melbourne’s Eastern suburbs and you’re bound to overhear a salacious sentence or two. And while eavesdropping is generally frowned upon… if the speaker is loud and proud, it’s practically impossible not to, darling.

And heavens, did we hear a thing or two during a recent trip to town.

At the golf course, along High Street, and at the salon – we were privy to the darndest snippets just about everywhere. One consistent theme? Acquaint is the talk of the town.

Here are the highlights.

‘I’m never parting with my Acquaint companion. She lets me cheat at cards.’

There are many hallmarks of an Acquaint carer. Discretion is one of them.

And look, a weekly game of cards with the ladies can be quite competitive. Sometimes, one needs a little edge to win. We can practically see the conspiratorial glances between this client and their carer now.

The only thing left to find out is… Did they seal the deal?

‘My folks are getting the royal treatment with Acquaint. The only thing that’s missing is the crown.’

Our clients’ children understand what their parents need. And they clearly understand what Acquaint is all about.

Whether it’s providing some home assistance, helping with personal care or arranging a game of bridge with the girls, Acquaint ensures every little thing is done with a flourish.

And if our clients want to wear a crown? Well, who are we to deny them?

‘My Acquaint carer knows how to look after antiques. Both me and the French mantle clocks.’

There is an art to caring for antiques. Not too much oil soap. A 100% cotton polishing rag. And a light dose of elbow grease. We’re talking about the French mantle clocks here – not our clients.

No, what our clients need is a healthy dose of kindness, smarts, playfulness and candidness as they receive personalised care at home and away. Values every Acquaint carer has in spades.

Because every antique deserves to shine.

‘My Acquaint carer and I can’t stop laughing together. My neighbours are utterly confused.’

Know the saying, 'laughter is the best medicine’? We believe it wholeheartedly. That’s why the entire Acquaint troupe is an expert in having a chuckle. And by the sounds of it – we know how to make our clients chuckle too.

What these two could be gasbagging about, we haven’t the foggiest. But we – and their neighbours – would absolutely love to find out.

Overheard a positive word or two about Acquaint? Or keen to discover what all the fuss is about? Our commitment to exceptional care and companionship is evident through the talk of the town. Call us on 03 9267 9090.
