Review of Candlelight Care from Sarah C (Daughter of Client) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The majority of the carers are kind and helpful and treat my father with respect. They were particularly kind when my father was taken ill and waited until the ambulance arrived. The office staff are very efficient and always do their best to support my queries and requests.

Reply from James Catley-Day, Director at Candlelight Care

Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that our carers have treated your father with kindness and respect, particularly during a difficult time when he became unwell. It's also wonderful to hear your positive comments about our office team, who always strive to provide the best possible support.

Review of Candlelight Care from Sarah S (Daughter of Client) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has had care from Candlelight for nearly three years. The carers have been excellent- there is a consistent team of four operating on a rota for daily visits. They are all very kind, patient and professional and adapt to the customer needs. As well as providing care they are very good companions and take my mother out locally or further afield as she requests. They have enabled her to continue living in her own home and getting the most out of life. I believe they have also positively contributed to her physical and cognitive health outcomes. As a family member that is not local the arrangements give me peace of mind.

The administrative staff are very professional and responsive.

The Carers we have had have been friendly, efficient, thoughtful and helpful. Where could there be improvements? Some of the carers would benefit from some cooking guidance and some in providing more stimulation/conversation.

Our wonderful carer. What can I say? She is now a part of our family, we love her. She has cared for our mum in an amazing way when we couldn't be there. She has given up her breaks to be there and continue caring. She goes beyond what we ever expected and always on the end of the phone. We did not expect this amazing care. Thank you so much.

All carers are very conscientious, dedicated and I am sure they would 'go the extra mile' if the need arose. They all seem to enjoy their tasks and handle their resposibiities willingly and with a smile. I look forward to their visits and I think this comment indicates that they are happy to be handling their valuable role.

Candlelight have been caring for my brother one way or another for over 20 years now and some of the carers have gone well beyond their expected roles to help and support him over the years as his needs have changed and have become more demanding. The staff have always been friendly and supportive towards my brother.

Review of Candlelight Care from P D (Husband of Client) published on 22 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Candlelight Care took exceptional care of my wife who had dementia and passed away a year ago. Every single carer was well trained and utterly dedicated to their task. Each of them was remarkably empathetic, willing to listen carefully, and problem solve in difficult situations where necessary. Often they acted as a friend/mentor rather than as a functional carer. Although not requiring medical related help myself, I have continued to use Candlelight for maintenance purposes. Again they have been exemplary, cheerful, fastidious, and well-informed on the tasks on-hand. They are an absolute credit to the organization and as the market-facing part of the company need to be rewarded and reinforced continuously by headquarters

Overall Experience

I can only express my appreciation and admiration to all carers and staff at Candlelight Care. They have given us the ability to keep mum in her own home where she feels safe and happy. She classes all of her carers as friends and looks forward to seeing them every day. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and although we make several requests of the office staff, our requests have been dealt with in an instant. I have nothing but praise for this company and all of their staff and would recommend them extremely highly.

Review of Candlelight Care from B S (Husband of Client) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

May has been quite a dramatic experience for both my wife and myself with both of us being in hospital at the same time. This combined with other factors including my wife's operation has been very stressful. Throughout all this time Candlelight has been my support and backup and has never failed to adjust timetables etc and gone that extra distance to help. Some Carers have volunteered to come in early when clinical appointmens needed to be fulfilled which again is above and beyond expectations. I cannot thank you enough Candlelight, to have you behind me is a comfort and a major help.
