I am a new client, so it's been difficult to get a regular carer at 8a.m., the time I requested, so 6 different ones have come, but they are all very efficient and interesting ladies. I love having each of them to help me.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Only thing was sometimes long wait in the mornings, and not sure what time to expect people to come in. Was a big help for me when I came out of hospital to have this help. Thank you.

From day 1, my father was in the best possible hands. All the carers were brilliant, caring, nurturing and most helpful. My father could not wish for better care and support. Nothing was too much for the carers to do and assist my father in every possible way. When he was admitted to the hospital, he kept asking to go home because 'my carers can look after me better'. Those are his own words. We (the whole family) can not thank you enough for the support and love he received. THANK YOU.
We are incredibly touched to hear that your father felt so well supported and comfortable with his carers. Knowing that he felt safe, cared for, and confident in the care he received...
I found all staff who visited me to be most respectful.
If there is ever anything more, we can do to support you, please dont hesitate to let us know.
The attitude and quality of the service continues to be of a good standard in the large majority of cases. The carers are well dressed and generally have a cheerful manner. They seem patient with my wife's difficulties and limitations, tackling new problems in their stride. The care plan is generally adhered to, any issues arising are discussed during the six monthly review, the plan being adjusted where necessary.
Thank you for the thorough and realistic review of the care we provide. I will ensure this is shared with your wife’s core team.
Staff always polite and cheerful. They come when they told me they would. They fed my husband, meals I prepared, again cheerfully & encouraging him to eat. They always treated him with respect, encouraged him to try to help himself - turn over - stand up using the Mackworth - attempting to climb.
Amazing review, thank you. We are proud of our Discharge to Assess Team, so much so, we will share your kind words with the team.
