We have a dedicated team from Brancaster looking after my loved ones .it is pleasure to see the bonds that has developed between them all.. Nothing is too much trouble, the professional carers welcome advice and support from our family, but equally they provide reassurance and support to us as well
as our loved ones
Everyone has worked/ works together to provide support and care that improves their wellbeing and it is evident. A trip out with Harris has seen an improvement in my dad's wellbeing !
The standard of care and the genuine compassion is outstanding.Brancaster care staff allows me to leave my parents for the rest of the day knowing my loved ones are in the best hands and properly cared for. It's priceless and the quality of care is high. The high standards start at the top, the owner/manager is highly professional,kind & accessible. His standard of care is what his staff deliver. Really cannot recommend them all enough. Kind, caring and genuine

Review from Susan B (Daughter of Client) published on 21 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I write to express my sincere appreciation for the care provided by your wonderful Team to my Mum. Everyone is kind and caring and their arrival at various times throughout the day cheers Mum up. Mum's dignity is always respected, and there is not a lot of dignity when one reaches such a great age.
It would be impossible for me to care for my Mum in her own home at this stage in her life without your support; it is a huge comfort to me knowing she is clean and well looked after. I feel ashamed your profession do not receive more recognition for such a valuable contribution to the community and from what I have observed the pay structure seems to fall far short of the expertise required and the demands of the job. I hesitate to use the word "job", it is a desire to make a difference to people's lives.
With thanks and kind regards,
Susan (Grace's Daughter)

The carer that came to us to care and help my husband was excellent, kind, caring and thoughtful. My husband immediately felt very relaxed and comfortable with his care. It is so important, to have the right person to care for end of life care and Brancaster Health Care certainly provided that in our

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.781 for Brancaster Homecare is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 64 Ratings = 4.781

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Brancaster Homecare is based on 10 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
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
