Elderly In-Home Care Service
Whether you are a busy carer, a loved one in need of a break, you require help caring for your elderly loved one, or, you plan to travel abroad and would like someone to fill in until you return, we offer a safe and professional in-home care service which allows yu to leave your loved one knowing they will be safe and well cared for during your absence.
Our friendly and caring in-home service is built on Brenda's, (WTFL's Wellness Director's) experience massaging elderly clients, palliative and medical care massage training, working in at a foodbank distribution centre in the UK, cooking meals for groups and some elderly clients and relatives, as well as providing emotional support and a listening ear to clients.
Your loved ones have nothing to fear with our WTFL staff. We will come into your home at agreed times and see after the welfare of your elderly loved one. And judging from the satisfaction expressed by one elderly client recently who felt encouraged by us, we know that we are making a big difference to some persons.

Our Wellness Garden
The WTFL Wellness Garden was conceptua;ised by Brenda, the Wellness Director back in 2009 while studying Aromatherapy in London. This was when she begun to understand the therapeutic and holistic value of plants to health and wellness.
Plants like the Marigold, is common in the Caribbean and known botanically as 'Calendula'. This plant forms the base of most of our NSynergy bodycare products and is one of the plants you might see in our wellness garden.
Persons who have visited WTFL's garden have reported feeling the calmness and serenity which we hope to achieve.
The 7000 plus sq ft. garden is also a useful place to host small events like garden parties, lunches, relaxation exercises, play card games, or to just simply sit around.
If you are in the area, feel free to visit. You might even get to sip a hot cup of tea, with a cinnamon stick!
Call 246-236-0180 to arrange a visit.
