Candlelight Care

Overall Experience

The attitude and quality of the service continues to be of a good standard in the large majority of cases. The carers are well dressed and generally have a cheerful manner. They seem patient with my wife's difficulties and limitations, tackling new problems in their stride. The care plan is generally

adhered to, any issues arising are discussed during the six monthly review, the plan being adjusted where necessary.

Overall Experience

Staff always polite and cheerful. They come when they told me they would. They fed my husband, meals I prepared, again cheerfully & encouraging him to eat. They always treated him with respect, encouraged him to try to help himself - turn over - stand up using the Mackworth - attempting to climb.

Amazing review, thank you. We are proud of our Discharge to Assess Team, so much so, we will share your kind words with the team.

All caregivers that my mother met were wonderful, she had nothing but good things to say. The caregivers I met were kind and helpful and helped us through the tricky first week or two after my mother was discharged from hospital.

Overall Experience

I have found all the carers to be cheerful, helpful and courteous. Some go above and beyond what is required, and some carers see what is needed without being told. Many of the carers are very encouraging and let you know if you have made good progress. They try to get you to think positively.
I am

most impressed with the general standard of care.

Overall Experience

Candlelight are fantastic. Mum suffers with depression, anxiety and dementia. Under previous carers she was struggling massively and suicidal. Candlelight taken her on and the difference in mum has been amazing. They really care, mum is treated with respect, dignity and compassion and is absolutely

thriving under them. She now smiles, talks and even laughs! We simply cannot thank them enough for all their support with mum. They are truly wonderful.

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

Thank you for the beautiful review and we are pleased to hear that mum started on the D2A (Discharge to Assess) service initially and then transferred over to our domiciliary (care at home) service. Was a joy to read about all the improvements mum had improved upon. I will share with her core teams, as it is important for them to know.

Without exception the Candlelight Care carers who have looked after my husband on two occassions have been wonderful: advising on equipment and organising its provision, going above and beyond their remit to obtain suitable medications and always being positive, encouraging and above all good humoured.

Well done Candlelight!

Overall Experience

My wife is now a resident at a local care home, she has dementia. Candlelight provide a carer at the home twice a week for 2 hours each visit. This allows me to carry out urgent tasks and medical appointments on those 2 days, whilst providing support and companionship to my wife. The carer is wonderful

and my wife considers her a friend, allowing even the most intimate support. I am not sure that I would be able to cope without this marvellous support.

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

Thank you for leaving this remarkable review, it was a pleasure to read. We have shared this with the carer and support worker in question who visits your wife twice a week as we feel it is extremely important for them to know how much they are appreciated. Thank you again.

We enjoy great service from Candlelight Care. My 94 year old mum has a morning visit which gets her up, showered and ready for the day. Every carer has been kind, considerate and professional. We have one regular carer, who is wonderful. She chats to mum and makes her feel special. We are delighted

with her service and support.

Please to have the help I needed. I am enjoying the help to stir me to try and keep order. I now can invite people in to see me. It is just enough help to keep me doing more myself so my life has improved. I would definitely go downhill without this encouragement.

Overall Experience

I have nothing but praise for this service and all the people involved in it. The carers who visited me were kind and thoughtful. I made amazing progress over a two-week period after I left hospital and enjoyed their company. When I left hospital I could hardly get up from a sitting position. By the

end, I could get up, safely walk and stand without aid and felt much more confident in looking after myself. Thank all of you for your support and help.

The office staff are very helpful and efficient in responding to questions on the carers visit times. I would definitely recommend this company as they are efficient and

My grandfather recently came home from hospital and the Candlelight D2A team promptly provided incredible support for him and our family. Their kindness, professionalism, and thoughtfulness ensured that his final days were comfortable and dignified. Each member of the team is truly a superhero and I

want to express my gratitude for the profound impact they had on all of us. Thank you so much.

The level of care my mother receives from Candlelight is first rate. They are always flexible and happy to adjust the services they provide. Initially my mother was reluctant to accept help, but has now become very happy with the help she receives and looks forward to the visits. Brilliant service!
