Home Care Providers Owned by 1st Homecare Group in Oxfordshire

I am the son of a client of 1st Homecare. We made the decision to engage 1st Homecare to help mum stay in her home when her cares need became too much for us to cope with. 1st Homecare provided at home 1:1 support for my mother for over three years. Throughout this time the care they provided was excellent. I was also confident that my mother was being properly cared for. The support we received from 1st Homecare was outstanding.

She has a great deal of common sense and good communication skills. We have 100% confidence in her. She is outstanding.

You will see below that we have given you 5 stars for everything apart from value for money where we gave you a 4 We believe double time rate on Bank Holidays is excessive. We feel it should be time and a half

We have been delighted and thankful for the care we receive for my father by 1st Homecare via Abby. She is highly professional and extremely caring and patient. She knows my dad extremely well and respects his wishes whilst at the same time achieving the end goal. She has loads of common sense and can be relied upon to manage the day to day tasks within the house. Abby is always upbeat and positive and has a great sense of humour. We are very grateful she has been a constant presence for over 2 years.

1st Homecare attended my mother at home and without exception were both compassionate and extremely helpful, and never missed a visit. We only stopped using them as my mother was admitted to hospital and then to a nursing home. The carer reports on the website were also extremely detailed and helpful. Many thanks.

Both my parents need some care. My mother has Parkinson's and has mobility issues. My father has onset dementia. Our current carer Bella is a breath of fresh air. She is efficient without being intrusive. She has running themes going on between herself and my father and there is laughter.

We have been using 1st Homecare and have found their service to be first class. The carers provide not only excellent technical care but also pleasant social support for my wife. The administrative arrangements are also very good with quick and helpful responses to queries. We will have no hesitation in continuing to make use of 1st Homecare's services.

We have used 1st home care for some overnight stays as well as regular day time visits over several years. Staff are kind and efficient and respect my husband and his concerns I always know he is safe with them.. Very happy to recommend their services

We won't hesitate to use them again if the need arises.

Keeping Mum safe and happy at home is our top priority. Finding 1st Homecare (Oxford) has been so important to our family. They looked after Dad so well during the last six months of his life and have been providing wonderful regular care for Mum for six years. The communication with the local manager is excellent and her home monitoring visits are extremely valuable to ensure the care plan can be adapted to match Mum's needs. The carers are friendly, caring and very respectful. Mum looks forward to seeing them. The opportunity to give feedback after every visit is very helpful. If you are looking for a high standard of homecare I recommend you ask 1st Homecare.

All carers have been wonderful. They are respectful, caring and attend to Mum's needs as family members. Neither Mum nor I could wish for anything more; this is vital for me, as I do not live locally.

1st Homecare provide excellent care to my elderly neighbours and friends, making living at home possible for them. The carers are friendly, capable and accommodating. The management is easy to reach, and communication is smooth.

They are both a credit to their company.

The carers who go in to take care of my sister are very caring and kind. The office staff are responsive to any concerns and because they also go in and do home visits they have a good understanding of the real situation. They are making it possible for my sister to remain in her home.

My Mother has been with 1st Homecare (Oxford) since mid January and she has built up a warm connection and trust with all of them. She couldn't do without them. They do an excellent job are very friendly and chatty which we really like and share a little of their lives with us. They have started to do one or two other jobs to help without hesitation. The office are hugely efficient and helpful and always happy to help whenever possible.

I was very impressed with the live-in care provided. It had a very positive effect on my dad and the carers quickly formed a real bond with him. There was suddenly a lot of laughter in the house which was a pleasure to hear and thanks to the carers patience and perseverance, dad has eaten more in the last couple of weeks than I can remember being the case for many years.

The carers that I have come in are very helpful and thoughtful and will help me out with the care I need to have, they are welcoming and easy to get on with, and they are very good at timekeeping ie, coming on time for my visits and they are polite to the rest of my family.

Having the carers gives me peace of mind that medication is taken, meals are prepared and the flat is kept clean - thank you.

They are happy to help her with almost anything when they visit. Altogether, we've been very fortunate to find 1st Homecare, and I'd happily recommend them to anyone.

Nice people and flexible attitude. 1st Homecare have been great at providing cover care when needed for my mum. Would recommend them highly. They have a good rota of carers and they are all professional and caring.

Caring for my very ill husband means I cannot look after my father every day, so 1st Homecare makes my life easier, as well as my father's!
