I'm having trouble accepting carers for my illness, early mornings are a struggle for me although I understand a set time is impossible for a carer.
The carers are always kind and understanding but I struggle to give up my independence

Reply from Michelle Carey, Registered Manager at Wisteria Care (Yeovil)

Thank you for leaving a review for Wisteria Care. We do apricate here at Wisteria Care that clients would like to keep their independence for as long as possible. We can look at your times of calls and perhaps try to get nearer the time that suits you.

Wisteria employs carers that poach their clients for a cheaper price privately and then do not do their job. Management apparently aware so God only knows what happens with end of life care. We noticed large amounts of money withdrawn from our late aunties account.

Reply from Jessica Kinsman, Registered Manager at Wisteria Care (Gillingham)

Hi Robin, Thank you for your review, and I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience with your Aunts private carer and I'm so sorry for your loss. I can assure you that I was not made aware that a care worker employed by us was providing support to your Aunt in a private capacity until recently (within the last 2 weeks) in which was only made aware to me once your Aunt had sadly passed away. I can confirm that all of our care workers are DBS checked upon commencement of their employment, with a minimum of 2 references. All care workers also receive a full induction which includes our policy of the handling of service users money. Whilst I appreciate that you are unhappy with the service your aunt provided from her care worker that she paid for privately, which are unfortunately not regulated, I do not feel that this review is a direct reflection on Wisteria Care.

Wisteria have been a godsend to my mother. Nothing has been too much trouble, and if I call the office, it is answered quickly and my query dealt with. I called in this week, and a lovely lady helped me. The care team are good. Obviously, there have been some snags, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

Carers are always polite and friendly, but not always the same carers attend our relative. They visit twice daily to administer medication, which is in a locked container, so our relative can't administer her own medication as she has dementia. New medication is put in the box weekly with a "pain patch"
which needs changing each Friday, but due to different carers, it is changed on a Thursday or Friday, sometimes both days and last week not at all! Relative "refuses" their help to make a sandwich/meal, but eats it when they do so, I believe, they need to do it for her anyway

My mother is happy with carers and wishes to continue with you as her carer has been given approval to provide long term care. The lady in the office has been absolutely fantastic and provided care from my mum's surgery when I have been banned due to her GP not wanting to listen. I've never been wrong
when I have said that mum is unwell and has ended up either back in hospital or antibiotics. In a past life I was a qualified battle field medical technician and the doctor who looks after mum knows that. There are some carers I wish wouldn't wish to see mum, but beggars can't be choosers as some neglect to enable mum to walk which was part of the plan.
All in wisteria have been good for mum and in no order But the who team plus a few more have brightened up mum's day(sorry I don't know their names).

Being mentally impaired, my sister needs routine, her regular carer is fantastic and seems to understand her needs. When her normal carer is unavailable, things do not go so well! The main issue is not with individuals but with the fact that my sister could do with more care; she really could do with
more help with personal hygiene, in particular.

The staff that came and cared for my grandfather were second to none. The management in the offices were always on hand to help me with any queries. The carers were always respectful and managed to allow my grandfather to retain some independence and keep his dignity intact throughout his time as a
service user! Unfortunately, he did pass away, but his passing was graceful and made easier by the team at Wisteria.

Thank you for the wonderful review, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather, an extremely kind gentleman, adored by all. I'm so glad that Wisteria Care were able to support yourself and your family through this awful time, with the upmost respect.

Wisteria has been an amazing care provider for my cousin. The staff have been very respectful and friendly, always asking if there is anything else they can do for us. The office staff especially the registered manager have always been amazing and extremely helpful with any concern we have and always
going out of her way to help us with what whatever we need.

My Father was looked after by Wisteria for 20 months after he had suffered a stroke which left him completely paralyzed on the right side. This was an extremely difficult and upsetting change to my father and a frightening time for my Mother. Two people were sent to us like angels and even though we
have recently lost my father, we will be forever grateful. The two staff members in particular made a very difficult time so much better. They were professional, caring, empathetic and went above and beyond. Also others within their team - four in particular were fantastic with my father.

Reply from Jessica Kinsman, Registered Manager at Wisteria Care (Gillingham)

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. Your father was very much adored by all care staff, and the two you mention in particular I know miss him greatly. I'm so pleased that Wisteria were able to support your family at such a worrying time, and wish you all nothing but the very best for the future.

When my grandmother had a fall and broke her wrist, the staff were very helpful to her, ensuring she had everything she needed before they left, I couldn't have asked for a better short-term service for my 93-year-old grandmother, they supported and encouraged her to be independent until she was once
again able to look after herself. Thank you to the team for being so lovely and caring towards my grandmother.

Some of the carers provided are absolutely amazing and would rate them individually a 5* if I could but 80% of the people sent to care for my grandmother are terrible.
We have complained over and over that you come too early as my gran is a night owl.
All we request in the morning/midday is a sandwich
and a pad change.
But some carers like the one who's just been literally walk in and walk out without doing a thing and then lie on the app that she had denied care when she's actually sleeping.
A lot of the staff fail to understand simple instructions and sometimes just leave our door wide open, thankfully my gran isn't a flight risk but it's not secure at all.

Reply from Wendy Beaton, Admin at Wisteria Care (Yeovil)

Thank you for your kind comment regarding some of our carers being amazing, however we are disappointed that you also feel that some of our carers are terrible. We are extremely proud of the work that they do supporting our clients in the community. We do understand there have been issues with the timings of calls for your grandmother. These have been looked at by the coordinators and now hopefully have been rectified. We do appreciate all feedback and aim to find a solution for any issues that may arise. Please do feel free to contact us directly if you have any further concerns.
