Review submitted from a Postal Card by Tim P (Client) on Tuesday 2 January 2018. Relates to November 2017.
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.

I have no issue with the care I receive or the carers themselves as they are always polite and understanding to my needs. The only issue I have is male carers, I would prefer not. The major problem I have is the office and the rota as they don't seem to take my requests into consideration when allocating times.

Carers themselves are brilliant and can't fault them. It is the office staff as they don't listen to the clients and on some occasions carer's opinions of times of calls around client needs.

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.
