Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend A1 care enough. From the very first interaction, their team showed genuine kindness and compassion, treating not just the client, but the entire family with warmth and respect. Most importantly, they have consistently upheld the dignity of my wife, ensuring care is delivered with
sensitivity, respect and empathy. From the carers to the office, they demonstrate a remarkable level of understanding, always taking the time to listen and adapt their care to individual needs.
Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you very much for your lovely feedback.
Your words mean so much to all of us at A1 Care. We are truly pleased to hear that you and your family have felt supported, listened to, and treated with warmth and respect throughout your journey with us.

Thank you once again for placing your trust in us and for your heartfelt recommendation. We will make sure your kind comments are passed on to the carers and office team.

A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)

from Sylvia P (Client) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has had care until A1 for approx 4 weeks and we are over the moon with the care he has received. All A1 Carers are so professional & with a very caring attitude. Nothing is too much trouble. We especially like that A1 provide timetables and photgraphs of the carers each week. They are always
very punctual, so we know exactly when they will be arriving.
I am also receiving care now with showering and making my bed. A1 made sure I received the care I needed directly after my husband, so it has worked out brilliantly. Thank you for an extra service.
Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are truly grateful for your kind words.

It means a great deal to hear that both you and your husband have been happy with the care and support provided by our team. We are especially pleased to know that the weekly timetables and carer photographs have helped give you reassurance and consistency.

Our aim is always to provide professional, compassionate, and reliable care, so it is wonderful to hear that this has made a positive difference to you both.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting A1 Care to support you.

We have been very happy with the care we receive. We have only female carers as requested. They are always as prompt as possible. The carers are polite, friendly, and really look after my mother. They are always gentle and patient with her. On the rare occasions I need to contact the office, the staff
are efficient and sort out any issues I have. The issues are not about the staff, more about contacting help in other areas ie. equipment etc. I am very glad we were signposted to AI.
Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We are truly pleased to hear that you and your mother have been happy with the care provided. It is especially reassuring to know that our team has been able to accommodate your preference for female carers and that they are delivering care in a prompt, polite, and compassionate manner. Your kind words about their patience and gentle approach mean a great deal to us, as these are core values we strive to uphold every day.

We are also glad to hear that our office team has been responsive and efficient when you have needed support. We appreciate your understanding regarding the challenges sometimes faced when coordinating with external services such as equipment providers-this is an area where processes can occasionally fall outside of our direct control, but please be assured we will always do our best to support and guide you wherever possible.

Thank you once again for your trust in A1 Care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A1 Care has looked after my father (and also my mother until 2022) for nearly five years. It provides the break cover for the day carer (2 hours a day, every day). A1 provides an excellent service, it responds well to the requirements to ensure a good fit of carer with the clients/users. It also responds
really well to both changing and challenging circumstances. The carers are superb, and in particular, the main carer. They are diligent, very capable, professional, patient and kind. It is A1 in the name and A1 in care provision.
Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience.

It has been a privilege for A1 Care to support both your father and your mother over the past five years. Building a consistent and trusting relationship with the people we support and their families is very important to us, so it means a great deal to hear that you feel the service has provided the right support and flexibility when circumstances have changed.

Your feedback about our carers, and especially the recognition of the main carer's dedication, professionalism, patience and kindness, is truly appreciated. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the team, as they take great pride in delivering compassionate and reliable care every day.

Thank you again for placing your trust in A1 Care. It is an honor to be able to support your family.

A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)

from A K (Client) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was most happy with one of the carers, she has been one of two carers who have been caring for me for many weeks now and I cannot speak too highly of her abilities, including tasks as cooking and cleaning. There has been illness in the home which has meant a little extra help from her which she she
took to with willing hands. In fact walking is too much for this elderly, lively lady. We all get on well in the household which is a great bonus. She understands my problem with waiting and needs things back to me. She is certainly a most dignified person and we in the house cannot speak too highly of her.
Reply from Mark Piper, Business Development Manager at A1 Care (BCP, Dorset & Hampshire)Thank you very much for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful feedback. It truly means a great deal to us.

We are delighted to hear how pleased you have been with the support provided and that your carer has made such a positive difference in your home. Your comments about her kindness, dignity, and willingness to go the extra mile-especially during a time when additional support was needed due to illness-are wonderful to hear.

At A1 Care, we place great importance on matching carers who not only provide practical support such as cooking, cleaning, and daily assistance, but who also bring warmth, respect, and reliability into the home. It is lovely to know that the relationship within the household feels comfortable and supportive for everyone involved.

We will be sure to pass on your kind words to the carer, as feedback like this is incredibly encouraging and means a lot to our team.

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.

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!

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.
