Review of A&R Guardian Services Ltd from Elaine M (Daughter of Client) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Although I was only very occasionally present when the care visits took place, the staff I did have interactions with seemed excellent. We would have no qualms using them again.

They left a box at the house with shoe covers and gloves for their visits.

Reply from Ruth, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Thank you for the kind words. It is great to hear that your interactions with our staff was good. We appreciate the support and hope you will use our services again in the future.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Ltd from Lesley L (Daughter of Client) published on 21 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father has been using the service since May 2025 following a fall which has affected his mobility. He has a visit four times a day to help him get up, washed and dressed in the morning; meals and medication throughout the day, and going to bed at night.
We are so happy with the care provided. All the carers come at the same times every day, at the times which suit my father. He usually has the same carer doing all the visits on a particular day, which is very helpful for him.
They are all very kind, respectful and caring as well as being really efficient.
Communication is very good both with the carers and the care coordinator. Any queries from both sides are dealt with immediately, and the coordinators are very understanding and give personal attention to my father's needs.

I have no concerns at all. My father is happy, well cared for and looks forward to their visits.

Reply from A&R Guardian Services, Management at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

A&R Guardian Service management and staff appreciate your comments. Content is uplifting and rewarding. As a care provider, we aim in making sure that our care service is person centred and to hear that your father is happy uplifts staff moral. Thank you for taking your time to share your experience.

Overall Experience
I don't know what we'd have done without these wonderful people.
Their kindness, accessibility, caring, and attention to detail was outstanding.
They always alerted us to every problem that arose and exactly what procedures to take.

He was always comfortable and clean right to end, a massive thank you.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Lancashire from M W (Wife of Client) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since August 2024, A&R Gaurdian Services have provided exceptional care to my husband following a severe stroke. Two carers visit four times a day providing appropriate and tailored care to meet his personal needs, adapting to his daily needs when required. The carers engage with my husband and are professional, reliable, punctual, friendlly, comperent, helpful and caring.

The management team are helpful and approachable quickly dealing with issues or questions I raise.

Reply from Ruth, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Lancashire

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you and your husband and are glad to hear that our carers are assisting effectively. They all have positive remarks about you and find visiting your husband to be a pleasant experience.

Overall Experience

Ar carers we're polite and professional so caring for my wife on end of life. This enabled me to care for my wife at home until the very end, which is because we both wanted for our last days to be spent in the usual comfort of our home together. Thank you AR.

Reply from Admin Team, Administration Team at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Caring for your wife was an honour and you were such a loving couple. It was heart-breaking when your wife passed away. We shared good times and bad times together just like a close family. The passing away of your wife touched many of our care staff as they had cared for her since July 2017. You...

Overall Experience

Not specific - but generally satisfied with the care provided for my Dad. On occasions when it is necessary to make changes or requests, the managers are always available and agreeable. Carers whom I or my sister have met are friendly and kind and have my dad's best interests at heart. They are also patient , good humoured and understanding.

Reply from Ruth, Manager at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Thank you Clare for your feedback. We're glad you're satisfied with the care provided for your dad.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Ltd from Karen G (Daughter of Client) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Generally good care but not consistent. Sometimes have to reiterate what care is provided even if the carers have been there before. Also, Dad finds the frequent change of carers confusing. Time of visit varies though I understand this may be due to the needs of other clients. I have concerns about how tight catheter straps are and, although I know Dad sometimes puts these on himself, they should be checked each visit as he is high risk for a DVT.

Reply from Ruth, Manager at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Thank you Karen for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you found the overall care for your dad to be good, and we appreciate your thoughtful insights on consistency and the importance of continuity. We also take note of your concerns and we will ensure that these aspects...

Review of A&R Guardian Services Ltd from G L (Client / Service User) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This company is very good, when you get to know the carers some of them can feel like there part of your family, especially if you don't have any family. You get the same regular carers every week so you get to know particular carers better. There's one carer in particular for me that if I'm having a bad time and struggling as soon as she walks in she just brightens your day. I also have social calls with carers I know well this means we can have a laugh and I enjoy my social calls.

Reply from Ruth Chiswo, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Thank you very much for your kind words. We endeavour to maintain consistency with our carers as well as the care we provide. We are pleased to hear that your experience with us has been fulfilling.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Lancashire from A W (Daughter of Client) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The carers are very kind and polite. They follow all instructions given. They show respect to mum. They always make sure she is clean and happy. If there is something to report they leave a note and vice versa and it is resolved quickly. If there was an app for me to download, then I feel I would know more. For example what she has eaten.

Reply from Ruth, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Lancashire

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased to learn that you are satisfied with the service provided by our carers and office staff. We will be in contact shortly to set up our service user app, which will allow you access to the carer's notes.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Ltd from Jo G (Niece of Client) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Just want to thank all the team who looked after my Auntie at her home in Exton.
She was a person who knew what she wanted and how she wanted her care to be. While I was present towards the end of her life I can honestly say that the team did their absolute best to accommodate her wishes and showed genuine "care" for her. This allowed her to fulfil her wish of ending her days at home.

Thank you to everyone at A&R, carers and office staff who work so hard for their clients.

Reply from Ruth Chiswo, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Ltd

Thank you for your kind words. It was truly a privilege for our staff to spend time with your Auntie, always respecting and supporting the independence she valued. We feel honoured to have been part of her journey.

Review of A&R Guardian Services Lancashire from M B (Son of Client) published on 26 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother is 78 years old and suffers from chronic COPD, mild dementia and is also completely bed ridden after suffering 3 strokes. Our experience with A&R was horrendous. Mum was given out of date food multiple times. She was also given reheated microwave food that had also been left out all day despite multiple complaints to the manager by myself her son. After confronting her carers regarding the food they showed no knowledge of food hygiene safety practices.
Mum was also left in dangerous positions in her bed despite the manager being given the correct procedures to follow due to choking concerns by the frailty nurse.

Mum was also given the wrong inhaler on numerous occasions and failing to flag the wrong inhaler had been supplied was also an issue, she was also given the wrong dose of medication and sometimes not at all. Mum's fingernails and toenails were in a terrible state. Ultimately I had to make a safeguarding complaint which resulted in A&R being removed.

Reply from Ruth Chiswo, Registered Manager at A&R Guardian Services Lancashire

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you feel this way about our service. In our view, the care and support provided to your mother was exemplary. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that family members may sometimes feel dissatisfied despite providers' best efforts. Additionally, staff faced...
