A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)
from C M (Wife of Client) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Really great support for my husband, to remember to take his medication 7 days a week. They treat him with dignity always, whilst allowing me to have some daily respite (less things to remember). Carers are consistent, so you always know who is on what day. Any changes to this, we always get an email.

Great company, lovely carers, and great value.

Reply from Ami hobday, Director of Operations at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It truly means a lot to our team.

We're really pleased to hear that the support has helped your husband with his medication routine while also giving you some well-deserved daily respite. Supporting both the person receiving care and their family is incredibly important to us, so it's wonderful to know this has made a positive difference.

Consistency, dignity and clear communication are things we work very hard to maintain, so your comments about our carers and the regular updates you receive are very appreciated and will be shared with the team.

Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting A1 Care to support your husband.

Overall Experience

The carers were amazing. When I got home from hospital myself there was already someone looking after my husband. They have helped us in every way, both with our personal care and some administration, always with good humour + patience. They have even offered help over and above what we had expected.

They have come on time and we have not needed to worry about anything except getting better!

Overall Experience

I can't thank A 1 enough for the care they provide for my Dad. He has become friends with a number of his carers who go out of their way to chat with him; even singing duets sometimes, dancing and brightening his day. They are reliable, hard working with no complaint and will often go over and above

in their duties. My dad has been having A 1 care for nearly four years now and we and my dad are so grateful for the care they give on a daily basis.

Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt feedback. It truly means the world to us to hear how much our team's support has meant to your dad and to your family-over the past four years. We're especially touched to know that the carers have formed genuine connections with him, bringing joy through conversations, music, and companionship. At A1, we take great pride in going the extra mile, and it's wonderful to know that their dedication, reliability, and kindness have made such a positive impact. Please do pass on our warm regards to your dad-we're so grateful to be part of his care journey. Thank you again for your trust and continued support. Warm wishes, The A1 Care Team

from David W (Son of Client) published on 27 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Outstanding. My Mum needed urgent care at very short notice. A1 Care assessed her and had daily care workers organised in less than a week; the relief it gave our family is beyond words. Since then they have been highly responsive and flexible, adapting to my mum's changing needs. The lady who assessed

my Mum, who I can't name, was just amazing and provided personal direct contact and great advice to enable a smooth transition to the new routine. We get daily updates from the carers on an App provided with the service and if there are any concerns or issues they contact us quickly and directly. Every time I have called A1 there have never been any queues and their response has always been very helpful and personal. I highly recommend A1 Care.

Reply from Sorina Puscas, Registered Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)We want to thank you for the incredibly kind words you shared in your review. It truly means the world to us to hear that the care we've provided has made such a positive impact on your mum and your family. We understand how stressful it can be to find care at short notice, and we're so pleased that we were able to bring you some peace of mind during a difficult time. Our carers and staff are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, and your feedback reassures us that we're on the right path. I will certainly pass on your appreciation to the entire team, including the amazing lady who assessed your mum-I know she will be touched by your praise. We're always here for you and your mum, and it's our privilege to be part of her care journey. If there's anything more we can do, or if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
