Overall Experience

I buy this service for my husband with dementia. His carers come once a day to wash and dress him. The carers have been unfailingly kind and compassionate. Now we have the same carers most days. He is a lovely man, and my husband looks forward to his visit. I am not so sure about the admin. I had great difficulty trying to arrange payment!

Overall Experience
Generally, work hard and complete the requested tasks. Would be good to have consistency with the staff. Some you have to explain word-for-word what you want done. Don't seem to use common sense. Some in particular work extremely hard, and nothing is an issue.

Times have improved. Need to have consistent times due to medical issues (insulin).

Reply from Sarah Richards, Manager at Agincare Poole (Home Care & Live-in Care)

Overall Experience

Agincare provided excellent care for my mum. All care staff treated my mum with dignity and respect. They went above and beyond and gave my mum in her last few months the best care possible. They treated her like they were looking after their own mother. She loved their visits and they made her smile and laugh a lot. I have worked in care and we had other care companies before Agincare and none of them come close to how good the Agincare staff are. I cannot thank them enough. They are the best care company ever.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review for Agincare Poole. I will share your lovely comments with the care workers who visited your mum. Positive feedback is always appreciated by the care workers and office staff.

Overall Experience

I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences at Brushett House. I can't find fault with the staff. They have all adapted to my needs perfectly, they are all really lovely and have made me feel very much at home. The flat itself is really nice too. Like a new place. Could not be happier!

Overall Experience
My experience from having our regular carers is a positive one. On the whole we have had consistency with the regular carers that come to our home every week. They are respectful, take care in their work and are knowledgeable on certain aspects of care. Most importantly they communicate with my husband and treat him with respect.

Having regular carers who you can trust not only to do their job but who also respect your property means a great deal.

Review from Jen (Granddaughter of Client) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This past year has been very challenging for both me and my grandfather. We had a few teething problems with the agency. A select few, as usual, were not great but as you guys know towards the end of granddads life things were going really well.

We went from 2 x a day care on a single carer up to 3 x double up and you guys were amazing I’m not allowed to say names but I know who you are and I can’t thank you guys enough for going above and beyond for him, and for me also. I will always speak highly of a select few, as you are classed as the best of the best.

But with anywhere always a few teething problems but nothing worth mentioning here.

I just want to say thank you Agincare.
