Review of Candlelight Care from Peter R (Client / Service User) published on 22 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from James Catley-Day, Director at Candlelight Care
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It means a great deal to hear that our carers are making such a positive difference to your experience.

We are incredibly proud of the compassion, dedication and professionalism our team shows each day, and it is wonderful to know their warmth...

Review of Candlelight Care from Paul C (Son of Client) published on 6 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Candlelight Care have provided care and companionship to my elderly mother for several years; as I live in the north of England they kept me up to date with anything that I should be aware of such as medication and my mother's wellbeing. The carers themselves are so caring and friendly often going the extra mile to help my mother. The office staff who I dealt most with are lovely, they love what they do often in difficult circumstances. I thoroughly recommend Candlelight Wimborne to any relative of an elderly person who requires home care.

Review of Candlelight Care from S K (Daughter of Client) published on 26 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot speak highly enough of the ongoing, and increasing, care my Mum is receiving from Candlelight. All the carers who visit Mum are not only professional, caring, supportive, and friendly, but they always go above and beyond if Mum is having a difficult day. I am also kept in touch with what's going on if Mum isn't doing so well (as I live a little distance from Mum) and am happy to chat if I'm having any problems communicating with her because of her dementia.

You are all amazing people and I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the care Mum is receiving. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Reply from Deb Puxty, Quality Assurance/Operations Manager & Corporate Lead for HR at Candlelight Care

Thank you for these kind words about the care we are currently providing to your mother, these will be shared with your mum's core team and the office too.

Review of Candlelight Care from Albert S (Client / Service User) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My chief carer is so good, that nothing escapes her, invaluable. When I ask for advice I know she will tell me the correct path to take. I have learnt this over the last 7 years and I trust her completely. This does not mean the other staff are not good, it means she stands out and is genuinely caring.

Reply from Deb Puxty, Quality Assurance/Operations Manager & Corporate Lead for HR at Candlelight Care

Wow - what an amazing review, thank you. Will ensure it is shared with your chief carer.

Overall Experience

We always look forward to the carer's visits. They are very friendly, kind people and do a good job sorting out my husband with washing, dressing him in the mornings, changing the catheter leg bag when necessary and lesser jobs on the evening visits.

Reply from Deb Puxty, Quality Assurance/Operations Manager & Corporate Lead for HR at Candlelight Care

Thank you for the praise given to your husband's core team, of course, we will share this with them as we feel it is important to share compliments received with our staff.

Review of Candlelight Care from Judi N (Daughter of Client) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Staff are courteous and respectful. Dad is comfortable with the care he receives. There has been a struggle to get the time that most suits Dad's (and my) routines, this has now been resolved. Office staff are friendly, reliable and mostly ring is there is a problem. The email of who is coming and when to expect them is invaluable, helps prepare Dad and plan my day.

Reply from Deb Puxty, Quality Assurance/Operations Manager & Corporate Lead for HR at Candlelight Care

Thank you for leaving the review about your dad's care that we provide. We always welcome feedback and we are pleased the package of care is going well.

Candlelight Care has played a crucial role in at times, very trying circumstances. Their kindness, professionalism and support has been exceptional. All the team exceed all expectations and all family members appreciate their dedication and understanding. Candlelight Care hasn't just supported the client, they have actually at times, supported us. Thank you.

Before hearing about Candlelight Care I tried two other agencies to get the help that I needed. I was horrified at the way I was treated at both.

I am now happily settled with Candlelight Care.

Review of Candlelight Care from Jennie H (Daughter of Client) published on 17 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum is a relatively new client of Candlelight Care. Mum is elderly, blind and has very limited mobility. I live in Portugal, so far away. Mum had experienced some problems with a previous company but I managed to get her in with the Candlelight team and she is so happy now, they are all very loving, caring, hard-working and give Mum a sense of security. They offer such a professional service, Mum is looking forward to her first hairdo from the team soon, they can even do her nails. She says nothing is too much trouble to ask, she sounds so different when I talk with her over the phone, back to her cheerful self. Thank you Candlelight, you are all amazing.

Reply from Deb Puxty, Quality Assurance/Operations Manager & Corporate Lead for HR at Candlelight Care

Thank you so much for these kind words about us as a company and the core team of staff who visit your mum. We are pleased to learn that Mum is very happy with us and I am sure it is peace of mind for you too, especially living abroad. Thank you for leaving this detailed review, it is much appreciated.

The care my husband received from the first day was extremely gentle and caring. He had been apprehensive but from the first moment, he was put at ease and now looks forward to someone coming as do I! I also appreciate their tidiness and cleanliness.

Review of Candlelight Care from Amanda C (Daughter of Client) published on 4 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The carers are largely really helpful and go above and beyond and Mum looks forward to them arriving. There is occasionally one who does the absolute minimum and rarely speaks. I appreciate they have a job to do but, when dealing with the elderly living alone, a large part of that job must be just talking to them.

Reply from Deb Puxty, at Candlelight Care

Totally agree with you, communication plays a big part in our service. I will feed back your constructive feedback to the Wimborne Branch as they may be able to identify the staff member in question and have a word with him/her. Thank you for submitting the review.
