Overall Experience

We are extremely lucky to have a regular carer in the morning that gives my husband confidence and a safe feeling. Evening carers vary but after a few visits the trust is there. All care is given as per the support plan which gives me the confidence all is well. Any concerns are reported to me as carer, so action can be actioned if necessary.

Overall Experience

Since being with this company from December 2018, we are happy with the care provided. All staff have been courteous throughout and always treated mum with dignity. The vast majority of staff have always offered to help with things in the house that needed doing, like washing up and emptying bits for her.

On the whole, the service provided has been good and carers have been arriving at regular times. The only poor care has been when the clearing up has not been done.

Overall Experience

My first experience with a care agency for my mother and I was determined to get it right. Once the agency, carers and our family had established the most appropriate care and it may take a little time to get to know the required needs, it turned out to be excellent. I have found the carers are friendly, respectful and conscientious. Most of them go that 'extra mile' to ensure it is a service with dignity. Carers have achieved an excellent routine and there always seems to be a lot of friendly laughter and banter, which is an added bonus for my mother who is struggling with her disability. My husband and I have my mother live with us and we now have confidence that she is in safe, considerate hands when we are not at home. Should we have any queries or problems the management deal with matters very promptly. The needs of the cared for person change with time and this agency has adapted to my mother's needs. If you let the management know what is needed, I feel they will do their utmost to comply.
