I would thoroughly recommend Astor to anyone who needs care in their home.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We continually strive to provide the best care possible, so it is reassuring to receive such positive feedback. It has been a pleasure to provide our service to you.
The care and commitment of the carers looking after my wife during her illness was second to none. Operating out of the Bordon office, all carers treated my wife with dignity and professionalism. It was confidence building to see how the carers, some quite young people, built up a relationship with my wife, building trust in whatever functions they had to perform to get the job done. All care was undertaken with my wife's well-being as the paramount focus in everything they did. Confined to bed, she eventually looked forward to their visits regularly asking me what time they were coming. She saw the visits as a friendly chat as well as the necessary care that had to take place. On meeting wider members of the family, they too commented on their care and professionalism and the friendly manner in which they performed their duties. Thank you Astor Care for helping to make my wife's last few weeks as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
May I commend your agency and all the carers involved.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a positive review. It is very important to us that our clients and their families are happy with our services. We will ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant carers.
The carers are experienced ladies, resourceful, versatile and very helpful. They are attentive. I am very deaf and when they accompany me to an appointment, they intercept what is being said and relay it to me afterwards.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. The quality of our service is of paramount importance to us and it is always lovely to see positive feedback.
They were always cheerful and friendly.
Nothing was too much trouble!
I have been singing your praises to my GP, physio and friends. You were a lucky choice. Thank you.

We were very pleased with their approach and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.
Ladies were very friendly and helpful and I enjoyed their company.
Many thanks for your kind words; they are much appreciated.
Astor Care provided care for my mother in the 3 months before her death. We started with a morning carer and gradually increased to 3 carers a day. Mum regarded the carers as part of her family and found their company very enjoyable. Astor Care management respond quickly to crises. I would recommend Astor Care to anyone needing carers.
Thank you for your kind words, it is very much appreciated and we will pass on your comments to all the care workers involved.
Very good time keeping and helping patients when toileting, willing and happy to do extra things e.g posting a letter, folding clothes and bed linen after washing and drying. Adjusting my choice of clothes for going out on scooter or going to my meetings.
The care agency was always there for my mother.
I was pleased with the way they conducted themselves.
I had complete faith using them.
Our son has Cerebral Palsy and Astor have helped with his care for the last five years. The carers have always been extremely caring, attentive, efficient and friendly towards him. They have to cook his evening meal for him and keep his house clean (he lives on his own in a 4 bed house). The supervision and the behind the scenes work has also been exemplary and friendly. You could ask no more from a care agency.
Both carers and admin staff have been extremely helpful in helping me with caring for my disabled wife. They have been polite and courteous, and their help and advice has been invaluable.
It has been over a period of around 10 months, and as well as actual physical care, they have given numerous helpful tips on who and where to find help on all sorts of related matters.
A very reliable caring and friendly person gave assurance to me. Would recommend this company highly.
The carers and staff are excellent and kind.
I now have regular staff members who each report on a particular day of the week, arriving always at the same time convenient to my daily routine and this arrangement is essential and important to my well-being. The staff are caring and friendly and I appreciate their help and presence.
