"Before Sage House, I felt so lonely, really lonely, but I don’t feel that anymore, it’s just one big family and that’s how we look at it now. You wouldn’t think Jean is the same person at Sage House, that’s the good thing that Sage House does for us. I wish I could bottle it and bring it home.
"I don’t know what my life would have been like without Sage House – I mean that, I’m not just saying that."
John, carer for his wife, Jean
