Thankyou!!! Xx

Just a truly terrible service offering very little actual care.

My mother ( who is in her 90's ) has been a client of Valley Care Direct for over four years and during that time she has received very good/excellent domiciliary care. Over the years my mothers mobility and dementia have worsened and Valley Care 's management, co-coordinators and daily care staff have been aware, supportive and considerate of my mothers changing needs. Valley Care has liaised with myself, social, medical, OT and incontinence services to ensure that my mother receives the best physical, emotional and practical support. Care Plans and daily care provision have been revised to provide my mother with the care that she requires. On a daily basis, Carers provide my mother with the personal care, medical, food ( meals ), laundry, mobility and emotional support that she needs in accordance with the Care Plan. Both my Mother and myself are grateful for the on - going care and professional support that my mother receives from Valley Care Direct.

Generally good, occasionally a little less so. Staff late, fail to care for my severely disabled condition with due diligence causing me pain and discomfort. Sometimes sending staff who have no knowledge of my specific needs. I often go into spasm during a call caused by the teams lack of care / knowledge . I've a particularly sore bottom which I don't feel that they always take into account. Following a stroke over half my body does not function properly and parts of it are hyper - sensitive, yet staff often do not understand what effect this has and their care is not as sympathetic as it might be. I cannot speak and yet none of the staff understand sign language even at a basic level. Staff often talk to one another and don't include me or ignore me altogether. They rarely try to get to know me or understand my communication methodologies. I've written a web page detailing the skills that are required for adequate care

A great team!! Many thanks.

Valley Care staff go above and beyond any caring team we have experienced. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very well trained. Without the care provided by them our Mum would have to be placed in a home. Mum is treated with dignity and respect and is much more comfortable being cared for at home by the wonderful staff at Valley Care.

ME AND MY PARTNER LIVE HERE AND DO EVERYTHING

If it wasn't for my mother nit wanting to change companies, I personally would have done a long time ago

I would thoroughly recommend Valley Care Derbyshire for looking after someone's loved one as their care/needs are priority to the client and their family.

Overall an excellent service and majority of the carers did over and above to support my dad and family.

Very friendly, helpful and respectful.

Overall very satisfied with the care and support provided.

In January 2019 Valley Care came to look after my wife following sepsis. The care given was excellent and this continues during her fight with cancer- sadly she died Nov 2020- but Valley Care were so good and caring during lockdown especially. Since then I have continued to have a carer come in 1 hour per week to help with domestic jobs. I know that I could also call on them if I was in trouble and needed personal care. All the staff are loving, caring, professional. Thank you all for myself and especially for my late wife.

I am very happy with my care

I have been having the services of Valley Care some eight months now, to help care for my wife, who is sadly in the later stages of dementia, she is totally disabled. I do not have anything negative to say about them, all the carers have been respectful, kind, considerate, understanding and thoughtful when caring for my wife's needs. The company is well run and I would, unreservedly, recommend them to anyone who is in need of a first class service for their loved one.

This so called care services have been put in place via social care assessment even after 2 weeks staff don't know the care plan or even seen it as nothing is on the app so we need to tell them everytime. I cannot get on the app yet even after being told i would be able to in 24hrs even when i called regarding this im still waiting for a response!! 1st carer calling my mum by wrong name and spoke about her in front of her asking if "she's all there" thats not respect another hadnt completed training i know this cause i asked questions about who they are etc no respect no introduction when they have turned up then I've been told by the office they have logged in which was a lie and they've not even turned up no wonder I cannot leave my mum unsupervised if This is the so called care you offer what the hell when you are looking after frail elderly with medical conditions absolute joke definitely not one I would recommend at this time i'm now waiting on my email and what response I get!

Very helpful and I've made a really nice friend, she is so lovely she gos above and beyond and I am so grateful for all of the help the carers give me whilst I'm waiting for my heart surgery thank you so much.

Where to start with this company. Chosen by social services as an interim company while client in safeguarding. Out of the frying pan into the fire comes to mind. The first thing you should do when you enter a clients house for the 1st time is introduce yourself and read the care plan. Neither of these things happened. Shocking hygiene standards. Tried to clean client with bathroom cleaning cloth. Had to be told to change gloves after performing personal care before making food. Then proceeded to grumble in their own language obviously didn't like being told how to do their job. Security issues with key safe. Serving hot drink in a glass. Washing literally thrown onto the clothes airer with items inside each other. No common sense whatsoever and basically no empathy or caring skills. This company needs to read the care act regarding dignity & respect. I could go on but it's too personal. CQC have been informed as has LA commissioning team and local MP is next. AVOID!

Valley care team provides care for my dad. My dad is extremely happy with the care he receives from the carers from valley care. They are respectful friendly and always puts a smile on my dad's face. My dad is that happy with the service that he eagerly waits for them to come. All the carers who come to care for my dad are very professional and friendly which puts my dad at ease. I would like to thank the carers for their support and their professionalism.
