Overall we have been very happy with the care provided. The carers have been efficient, thoughtful and friendly. Due to some niche equipment my husband uses and his particular needs it has been very helpful to have regular carers who can get used to the equipment and my husband's care needs. Occasionally
a new carer will come, who will need full instructions from myself and therefore it doesn't benefit me and doesn't really save me any time. I understand that sometimes due to holidays this is unavoidable.
I would like to particularly thank Matthew, Annie and Sophie who have stood out to us and we are always happy when it is one of them at the door. The other carers have all been helpful and friendly as well and I cannot fault their dedication and professionalism.
Timeliness is the only other area that we have had a few issues with, but we understand delays occur. However when other customers purposely overrun on their time I feel management needs to address this with the customer.

All the carers have been very efficient and friendly. They have been very professional, nothing ever seems to be too much for them.. They always ask if there is anything else they can do for you before they leave. They have definitely have helped my recovery. Really can't praise them enough, and would
happily recommend them.

Happy with the care given, couple of occasions where my father has said he is going out but he isn't. Please make the carers visiting him that he has currently undiagnosed dementia. Which is the reason for rhe care.
Reply from Irene Amarante, Digital Media & Marketing Manager at Hales Homecare IpswichThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you're happy with the care your father is receiving. We will make sure the carers visiting him are reminded of his current needs so they can continue to support him safely.

I am so impressed with Hales and in particular, Jessica.
Jessica visited us on the afternoon of my mother-in-law return home from a 12 day stay in hospital and patiently took details of her needs with an outcomes focused attitude to achieving what was best for her.
It was her attention to detail
which was remarkable, not just the things that must be done to keep M in L safe but the things that helped support her wellbeing.
The carers have all been polite and friendly, confidently making recommendations to support M in L care like night urine bags and Sara steady to aid her comfort and mobility.
The carers have involved M in L in her care, gaining consent to supporting her in a person-centered way and including her in any decisions.
We have access to M in L notes which are written with respect.
M in L has said she likes the carers and is happy with the care she receives from them.

We'll make sure your kind words are shared with the whole team. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.
