Accessible Accommodation

The Director has stayed at most 4 to 5 Star hotel in Cairns and surrounding areas testing accessible access and as a quadriplegic there are a number of things that he looks for:

Jonas

“I only can speak highly and positive about Independence World and the services they offer. I have been with them for a little bit more than a year now and it has been hassle free, personal and easy to deal with them. I have never had any issues with them and the Carers are well trained and prepared by the owner himself. The biggest advantage over other bigger personal Care agencies I find, is the owner himself living with a disability knows what the needs of his customers are and can relate to the different situation very well. Thumbs up from my side, would recommend IW to anyone who is in need of a helping hand.”

“My relationship with Independence World has only been short, but in that short time they have been reliable and very professional. The reason I started using Independence World was because of how well they worked with their clients and no fuss attitude.”

James

“The service from Independence World goes beyond what most care agencies would deliver. They treat me as an individual rather than another figure on their books, and have given me advice and support as only someone who has experienced the same difficulties can. They truly want to help, and if I had to use one word to describe them, it would be genuine.”

“Yuko was polite, professional & did a good job. Holly was very polite, caring & had a very genuine friendly personality. I was very happy with her mannerism, her attitude to work & her feedback on what tasks she had performed & asking what else I would like done.
Holly’s speed & quality of work was very good, the best I’ve had from all companies in every way.
I am very happy with Holly.

You have some good genuine staff with caring attitudes, thank you Emma & Independence World.“
