Home Care Providers Owned by Nobilis Care South Ltd

Put simply as I said in my exit meeting with my social worker and one of their administrators, I would not let them look after a dead rat as the contract is terminated with immediate effect because of serious health and safety issues And trust issues. Everything is recorded on video and on call recorder there is plenty of evidence.

I have not had any problems with the service provided. The carers I have are kind, caring and always willing to help me with my needs.

The good side of this review is that most of the carers are very good. However the greatest stress for me is carers arriving a lot earlier than expected (7 am instead of 8 am) which is not acceptable as I could be in the shower. I accept things happen during unforeseen circumstances but a text or similar would be appreciated. It's also stressful trying to feed my husband, which due to a medical condition is very slow and sometimes difficult if they turn up a lot earlier than expected and then leave in a rush. Most carers wait a few minutes while I finish but it mostly feels difficult and they never stay the full allocated time. (Husband has one lung, bent windpipe and dementia.)

I'm delighted with the care provided to my mother by Horizon over the last 2 years. The assessment meeting was very friendly, positive and reassuring. The care put in place made a massive difference to the quality of her life. All the carers were capable and kind. We had some regular attendees and also many stand-ins covering holidays etc. They were all fantastic and would have been welcome back again. There wasn't a single one who we thought we wouldn't want to come back. Horizon seems to have tapped into a rich seam of really lovely people. Fortunately, my mother was mentally very well, with no signs of dementia, and she enjoyed getting to know her carers who came from many different parts of the world. She loved finding out about their background, and we viewed them all as friends. When the time came for my mother's end-of-life care, we were very eager for Horizon to provide that. They did a great job in the difficult final week, making my mother's passing much easier. Many thanks!

It's now 12.00 and still without a carer. My mother is in tears and desperate for help. As much as I want to help for the sake of dignity my mother refuses until the carer arrives. Like I said this is not the first time but may well be the last! Atrocious lack of professionalism. I will be submitting a claim to the public health authorities to notify them of this frustrating situation. Do not trust this company!

The staff always showed care and compassion. We had a small team of staff who were great with Mom and she always felt safe and happy with them. They built up a good rapport with her and also supported our family emotionally. I would highly recommend them.

The worst company ever!
