I have found the service very helpful. With cancer in my back, I have good and bad days. The staff are very helpful and kind, but the treatment for cancer has been very painful at times, and they are very understanding. My family live away and they know the carers will contact them if necessary. I used
to drive, but I cannot anymore and I am used to doing the cooking for myself as I lost my husband fifteen years ago. I have had nine rounds of chemo.

Your service has been great. Always on time, and everything is thoroughly done. It has been a godsend to me, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service. Always done with a smile, and I am extremely grateful, I would thank them and I would recommend them whenever I can. Completely trustworthy, and
nothing is too much trouble for them. They are brilliant and I would use them in my old age when I will need more help.

The carers assist me by washing my lower legs and feet. Help me into and out of the shower - wipe and dress me, and see me back into the lounge. I am extremely happy with all the carers who attend the company I chose.

We needed some help for my Mum with the domestic side of things.
Anglian Care and Domestic Support had been recommended to me by a friend.
We were not disappointed. We set up a plan which was really straight forward. The lady met with us and was very understanding, there was no pressure put on
us at all. Any queries I had were dealt with promptly.
The carers are so friendly and kind to my Mum, they work really hard and respect her wishes. She really enjoys their visits and it also provides some very needed company.
Thank you to all the staff that assist my Mum.

I have found the care from Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services to be excellent. My main carer was always punctual, had a very pleasant manner and never made me feel awkward or embarrassed about my situation. We would reminisce about the local area, both being local and have a laugh. If other
carers came they were just as pleasant. My carers always followed the details about my care package.

Firstly, Anglian Care Services were highly recommended by a senior person in a local care home. My 2 brothers and I are extremely pleased with the wonderful care our 91-year-old mother is receiving every day. From the very first time we met the Manager, she totally understood the needs of our mum and
made lots of positive suggestions. The whole team are very friendly, very experienced and very caring. My mum loves chatting to all the carers and the medical problem that our mum had has now cleared up thanks to the dedication of the team. They are very flexible in their approach and when I phone with a concern, they make positive suggestions. So in turn, my brothers and I feel reassured too. Each carer writes up the notes of each visit for us, as a family to see and to inform the next day's carer. It is extremely reassuring to us as a family that Mum has a visit and help every day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I have had the pleasure of using this service now for both my father, who has sadly now passed, and now for my mother whose health is declining. The staff are always amazing, being attentive, caring, professional and nothing is too much trouble. When the manager comes out to do the assessment, she is
also professional, knowledgeable and gives you her undivided attention. I cannot rate this agency highly enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for caring and professional people to care for their loved ones.

Very good service.
I feel it is unfair that when I cancel an appointment the carer due to visit does not get paid despite you taking the fee. The carer should receive the fee.

We are very pleased with the care service as my mum is a lot happier, she does not cry very much now, she talks a lot more to us and the carer and family and friends. She has put on weight which is great and she gets dressed and out of bed every day, that makes our lives much better as me and my brother
are not sad and can actually have time with our mum who has dementia. She eats and drinks a lot better too. All carers are nice to Mum and she has a joke with them, they ask her what she wants we like that if she can't answer they say what there is.

I cannot speak highly enough of the carers who we see on a daily basis. They are polite, friendly and compassionate. I especially appreciate the way they look after my wife, who is suffering from dementia. I am able to relax more knowing that she is happy to see her cares and that takes the burden of
responsibility off my shoulders for a while. All in all the staff are really wonderful.

Reply from Jan Simmons, Director at Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services Ltd

Thank you for taking the time to review the service we provide, and I am glad this helps with your situation. Unfortunately you only gave 3 stars for 'value for money' - should you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to ask for the manager to contact you. We strive to provide a service of excellence but unfortunately there are many 'hidden' costs in achieving this that are out of our control.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.805 for Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.805

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services Ltd is based on 26 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
