Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Most carers are conscientious and kind, taking note of patient requests .
Just a small number are in and out as quickly as they possibly can , and do not take enough care of waste disposal or patient requests.

Review from Susan W (Daughter of Client) published on 22 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has used Agincare's home care for some years following increasing frailty. Visits are 4 times per day and requested visit times vary depending on carer schedules but generally work for Mum's needs. Regular carers who know Mum's required care are respectful and empathetic but those scheduled to visit
who are not regulars sometimes struggle to understand her routine. Staff in the local office are on hand during office hours with an out-of-hours service available where issues arise. They will also call with updates where they feel the family should be informed of any situations or concerns. They deal with the local GP when required which is reassuring as our family is not local to Mum. Overall the service provided is good and you should consider Agincare when looking for home care.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2023

Sarah became Registered Manager for the Poole branch in August 2023 and has worked in care for 22 years.


Sarah began working for Agincare in 2011 and flourished within the role.

A few years later in 2019, Sarah stepped in as acting manager for the Agincare Weymouth branch to cover maternity leave. After returning to her previous role, Sarah realised she needed more, so when the opportunity arose, Sarah took the Dual Manager role in Poole and Ferndown.
