Abby never seems to get distracted from her role which is to ensure my father in law is safe, well and as happy as he can be these days.
She has a great deal of common sense and good communication skills. We have 100% confidence in her. She is outstanding.
You will see below that we have given you 5 stars for everything apart from value for money where we gave you a 4 We believe double time rate on Bank Holidays is excessive. We feel it should be time and a half
Thank you for taking the time to comment on the fantastic care your father in law is receiving, we shall ensure your comments are passed onto your carer
We have been delighted and thankful for the care we receive for my father by 1st Homecare via Abby. She is highly professional and extremely caring and patient. She knows my dad extremely well and respects his wishes whilst at the same time achieving the end goal. She has loads of common sense and can be relied upon to manage the day to day tasks within the house. Abby is always upbeat and positive and has a great sense of humour. We are very grateful she has been a constant presence for over 2 years.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is a pleasure to care for your father in law!
1st Homecare attended my mother at home and without exception were both compassionate and extremely helpful, and never missed a visit. We only stopped using them as my mother was admitted to hospital and then to a nursing home. The carer reports on the website were also extremely detailed and helpful. Many thanks.
Thank you for your kind words about our carers, it was a pleasure caring for mum.
Both my parents need some care. My mother has Parkinson's and has mobility issues. My father has onset dementia. Our current carer Bella is a breath of fresh air. She is efficient without being intrusive. She has running themes going on between herself and my father and there is laughter.
Thank you so much, I am so glad we are able to provide the care needed for both parents! I will ensure these kind words are passed onto your carer.
We have been using 1st Homecare and have found their service to be first class. The carers provide not only excellent technical care but also pleasant social support for my wife. The administrative arrangements are also very good with quick and helpful responses to queries. We will have no hesitation in continuing to make use of 1st Homecare's services.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will ensure that they are passed onto the carers.
We have used 1st home care for some overnight stays as well as regular day time visits over several years. Staff are kind and efficient and respect my husband and his concerns I always know he is safe with them.. Very happy to recommend their services
Thank you for your kind words, it is always a pleasure to care for Mr W.
Everyone I encountered was professional, caring and accommodating and I knew my parents were in good hands every day. Nothing was too much trouble for them or "out of scope" and the only thing I needed to do was read the daily reports (which were always completed swiftly) to get an update. I'd also like to recognise the office/management team for their support and help.
We won't hesitate to use them again if the need arises.
We are delighted to hear that we are providing not just support to your Mum but also support and guidance to the family as a whole.
Keeping Mum safe and happy at home is our top priority. Finding 1st Homecare (Oxford) has been so important to our family. They looked after Dad so well during the last six months of his life and have been providing wonderful regular care for Mum for six years. The communication with the local manager is excellent and her home monitoring visits are extremely valuable to ensure the care plan can be adapted to match Mum's needs. The carers are friendly, caring and very respectful. Mum looks forward to seeing them. The opportunity to give feedback after every visit is very helpful. If you are looking for a high standard of homecare I recommend you ask 1st Homecare.
Thank you very much for your kind words, we are delighted to care for mum, having built such a wonderful relationship with her during our time caring for dad initially.
All carers have been wonderful. They are respectful, caring and attend to Mum's needs as family members. Neither Mum nor I could wish for anything more; this is vital for me, as I do not live locally.
1st Homecare provide excellent care to my elderly neighbours and friends, making living at home possible for them. The carers are friendly, capable and accommodating. The management is easy to reach, and communication is smooth.
Also my thanks to another member of staff for providing that care to my cousin, she was extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble and kept me fully updated.
They are both a credit to their company.
The carers who go in to take care of my sister are very caring and kind. The office staff are responsive to any concerns and because they also go in and do home visits they have a good understanding of the real situation. They are making it possible for my sister to remain in her home.
My Mother has been with 1st Homecare (Oxford) since mid January and she has built up a warm connection and trust with all of them. She couldn't do without them. They do an excellent job are very friendly and chatty which we really like and share a little of their lives with us. They have started to do one or two other jobs to help without hesitation. The office are hugely efficient and helpful and always happy to help whenever possible.
Thank you very much for your kind comments, it is a pleasure to care and support your mother.
I was very impressed with the live-in care provided. It had a very positive effect on my dad and the carers quickly formed a real bond with him. There was suddenly a lot of laughter in the house which was a pleasure to hear and thanks to the carers patience and perseverance, dad has eaten more in the last couple of weeks than I can remember being the case for many years.
Thank you for your kind words, which I have passed on directly to our carers. It was a real pleasure to care for your dad and see the progress that he made.
The carers that I have come in are very helpful and thoughtful and will help me out with the care I need to have, they are welcoming and easy to get on with, and they are very good at timekeeping ie, coming on time for my visits and they are polite to the rest of my family.
Thank you very much for your kind words, we will feed this back to the carers providing your support.
I completely rely on the carers to let me know what provisions my Uncle needs as he has no family local to him. On the whole they do a great job caring for him especially when he doesn't want to cooperate!
Having the carers gives me peace of mind that medication is taken, meals are prepared and the flat is kept clean - thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I will ensure they are fed back to our team. I am glad we are able to support your Uncle and give you peace of mind too.
They are happy to help her with almost anything when they visit. Altogether, we've been very fortunate to find 1st Homecare, and I'd happily recommend them to anyone.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are happy we can help.
Nice people and flexible attitude. 1st Homecare have been great at providing cover care when needed for my mum. Would recommend them highly. They have a good rota of carers and they are all professional and caring.
Thank you for taking your time to write review and lovely comments.
The assistance of the care teams made it possible for him to continue living independently.
He enjoys seeing new faces and we all appreciate the efficiency of the teams and very importantly their kindness. With the daily visits, we have seen his general health improve as he recovered from his illness in the spring.
The carers are so helpful with his domestic and medical needs and a big shout-out to the person who managed to fix his TV sound bar problem!
When there are changes to my father's routines, 1st Homecare have always been flexible and responsive.
Caring for my very ill husband means I cannot look after my father every day, so 1st Homecare makes my life easier, as well as my father's!
Thank you for taking your time to write such a lovely review. It is always great to hear such positive feedback.
We have used this company for some time. To begin with, we had sitters twice a week, and have now had a live-in carer for almost 5 months. She has looked after both of us entirely to our satisfaction and we have been very happy indeed with our experience. I have already recommended the company to a friend in need.
It is lovely to hear you are happy with your experience with 1st Homecare. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your recommendation.
