Our Story
Seeking out the people who really care about the job they do, the care they give. That's why Human Touch is different from the rest. So how did it all start?
As Health care Professionals who really wanted to make a difference, and knowing key people who were like minded, founders Anita and Roy Human came up with an idea back in 2006: to create a team of hand-picked staff to provide care that really made a difference, just when the patient really needed it most. A service that was quick and easy to call, where quality and reliability were unquestionable, and a team who really understood the needs of the patient.
And so, Human Touch was born.
