Review submitted from a Postal Card by D A (Son of Client) on Thursday 21 September 2017. Relates to August 2017.
We found Home Instead Senior Care (Epping Forest) a very caring and helpful company to deal with. In particular, one lady who was very helpful in arranging my mother's care, talking both with us and my mother to assess her needs.
The care ladies were very understanding and personable. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Right at Home was recommended to me as my 93-year-old mother had spent 3 weeks in a care home while I was away. She was very disorientated on returning home. Right at Home (Bournemouth) quickly instated carers and now 3 months on, my mother has regained her normally alert mind. I have found all aspects of the company excellent. The carers are very friendly, efficient and respect dignity. I would happily recommend Right at Home.

The two ladies were extremely helpful, cheerful and patient and kind.
They were very encouraging to the clients when helping them with their daily exercises.
They came up with regular good suggestions as to where to visit, what food to eat and what new experiences and excursions they could go on within the local area to keep the clients active and entertained.
They helped the clients use and understand their mobile phones, iPad's, telephones and taught them how to do online shopping to enable them to be more self-sufficient.

Thank you for your kind words Heather. It has been great to see that since we started working with you both, you have been able to lead more independent lives together, and have needed our support increasingly less. This is a positive development!

I had Bluebird when my family were away and I will most certainly have them next time. Wonderful carers, absolutely marvellous. I knew who was coming and what time, and they were spot on the dot! They managed to do everything I needed in the time I paid for - fantastic. Cheery, chatty, kind, thoughtful people. I cannot praise them enough.

The carers always have a lovely smile when they come to see me. I think of them as friends. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They help me to get up and washed and dressed and they put all of my washing in for me. They go above and beyond - all of them. They play dominoes with me at every call - they always make time to do this.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Louise P (Client) on Wednesday 20 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
I have had LifeCarers for about 1 1/2 years now and I am really pleased with the care company. The carers that I have had have all been lovely and easy to get along with and trust. They are extremely reliable and good at time keeping. If I have had any worries or questions there are ample people around (carers and office members) to help me out.
I am overall very happy and will be carrying on my care with LifeCarers.

Excellent manager. Always willing to listen, offer advice and support. Care staff, although never met them, they write notes of care given in detail which is reassuring.

The carers are very good to me. I get help to have a shower and sometimes they come with me to hospital appointments. They are all such nice people, they offer to do any jobs around my house as well as showering me. I find them a great help.

The caregivers from Home Instead are all absolutely brilliant. My aunt had very restricted mobility and needed help with personal care.
They treated her and me, with the utmost dignity. They were all very professional but also very friendly. They put us all at ease.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Liz J (Daughter of Client) on Wednesday 20 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
All dads carers are very good and support dad well. Dads words "They are lovely and very efficient." We can rely on Home Instead - always on time, we know someone will be there with dad to help him in the shower, nothing seems too much trouble for his carers. Dad has a small team of regulars which makes all the difference (unlike other large care companies where as many as 20 different carers may call, which can be very unsettling for most people.)

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Leila W (Wife of Client) on Wednesday 20 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
We have employed Home Instead for nearly a year and found them excellent. Have only once, some time ago, requested a change in carer. This caused no problem.
My husband looks forward to their visits to give him a shower (three times a week) and he enjoys the company of the carer who is always thoughtful.
It is a great help to me and gives me a little break and I think we work well together. Home Instead does their best to accommdate any change we might have to make at short notice.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Elizabeth G (Daughter of Client) on Wednesday 20 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
LifeCarers have provided care every day for my mother since 2012 and for my father until he passed away in 2014.
The care they provide is excellent.
Both the carers themselves and the managers are responsive and communicative.
They are friendly and adapt the care provided to the needs as they change over time.
I rely on them to let me know about any problems and to help find solutions and they have never let me down.
I would recommend them without hesitation to neighbours and friends.

My family and I wholeheartedly recommend this agency.
Their philosophy is dignity with care and kindness, staff and management exude this.
Communication is excellent, we as a family are kept up to date with all necessary information.
Our mother is receiving, in our opinion, the best care she deserves.

Thanks to the senior carer for arranging an amazing carer for my next door neighbour.
He was sadly discharged to a care home but he was well looked after by your team.
He still remembers the cheery hellos :)

The carers are always very kind and gentle and helpful and are very interesting to talk to. It can be difficult if carers are sent who can barely speak English and don't even know how to make a sandwich and open windows when you aren't feeling too good.

RV Care Ltd came to help my Nan with her personal care whilst she was staying with me for 2 weeks. They were lovely, kind and extremely helpful with Nan and she enjoyed their company. She is quite an independent 97 year old but she felt safe and very happy to have extra assistance with the carers which was a massive relief for me! We would 100% recommend RV Care and when Nan visits again we will certainly be in contact again. Many thanks
