All the staff who visit our home provides very good support and act in a professional manner at all times. They are always respectful and look after my husband in a dignified manner.


It is always nice to welcome them.

Review from N D (Client) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am usually asked what I need. Care is taken to see that I do not consume any food or drink which has been kept beyond the latest date for safe use. The carer will usually check if I have taken or I'm ready to take my prescribed medication, also if I am wearing my emergency alarm. The carer changes
items of clothing when necessary and informs me when I need to add anything to the shopping list in the way of food and drink. Before leaving the carer reports all is done and asks if any further service is required and will promptly do anything I might mention. I have not mentioned everything the carers do but they quickly do different things at different times of the day.

During the time that Agincare has been coming into our home to give support and help to my husband, they have all shown us the utmost respect and given him dignity when assisting him in the shower and washing him. It is always a pleasure to receive them into our home with their friendly faces and cheerful
demeanour.

Review from P O (Son of Client) published on 14 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
It has been a source of concern & frustration for our family. While I appreciate the friendly demeanour of the staff, the overall level of care has not met our expectations. One of the most pressing issues has been the lack of attention to basic hygiene. Despite our repeated requests, my father is not
consistently encouraged to take showers, which is essential for his well-being. The timing of the caregivers' visits has been problematic. On several occasions, they have arrived late, often just before lunchtime, which disrupts my father's routine and leaves him without proper morning care. It's concerning that these visits, are instead rushed & inadequate. A significant issue is the lack of attention to his clothing. Multiple times for staff to ensure he is wearing clean clothes, yet this has not been consistently addressed. While I want to acknowledge the friendly nature of the staff, which is certainly a positive aspect, it is not enough to compensate for the shortcomings in care.

We have had daily care for my wife since July 2021. In sometimes difficult times, Agincare has always attended. They are responsive to special needs. We have good relationships with the carers and value particularly the care provided by our regular carer.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been with Agincare for a few years now as a service user. I am a disabled parent, and I struggle with the inability of Agincare to change my times during the school holidays, especially summer as it is 6 weeks. I have to either have the 7 am slot of term time or go without morning care. This
makes an already tiring and difficult month and a half increase in difficulty and I need increased care from my young carer children if I do not have my partner staying with us. The inflexible nature of the care hours available is an issue for a family with children, as a whole. I obviously do not expect them to change the diary daily for us, however, when asking for a longer-term change of hours, such as earlier on a Sunday, we were left with cancelling Sunday care altogether as the only option. This is difficult as last-minute laundry and school preparation for the week happen on a Sunday, and I am without my care and support. I would like it to be more flexible for moving hours.

Agincare provides take-a-break care of 4 hours per week for me and is paid for by Hampshire Adult Services. I am the primary carer for my husband who has Parkinson's' (Stage 4). They have all been lovely. All tasks are well carried out and they are companionable and friendly people. We always know who
is coming (One Touch schedule) and as far as they are able they are always on time.
Contact with the office is easy, helpful, and friendly.

I am very pleased with the level of care provided for my Mum. Mum has a regular carer who understands her needs and goes about her daily visits with efficiency and friendliness.
A recent Care Review took place which was very thorough. It updated Mum’s circumstances and was carried out with understanding

I would recommend Agincare to anyone needing elderly care.

We never have any problems with the staff - they are all very friendly, helpful and polite. They always treat my husband with respect and preserve his dignity at all times. They have the training and observational skills that allow them to recognise if further help is required and advise if medical
help is needed.

Rota's are a big problem. We have only had 4 rota's which gave us a week's carers.
After three years, the service should be better. We cannot make any plans for the day when we have no rota. We get rotas with times own but no carer. The times are a help.

As the principal carer for my mother, I am provided with a weekly, three-hour 'sit' with her', so that I can go out.
Unfortunately, the organisation and implementation of this have been problematic.
There have been late cancellations, time slippages and poor communication with us.
There have been
improvements lately and I have no problem with the performance of the staff who attend.
I would like to be able to rely on the sits to take place as scheduled.
