a word from our clients

We chose Kendall because her fees & charges were very competitive; but most importantly she was like a breath of fresh air. Not staid, rigid & uncompromising like most of the others. A huge thank you to Kendall & all her employees for an excellent job. HCASC has the most prompt telephone response time in the world. I ring; the number barely dials once & they have answered. A very special thank you to Tammy & Tanya who were my Mother’s favourites. With huge appreciation & gratitude.
