Review from L F (Daughter of Client) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Crescent provided my Dad with the most exceptional care, they cared for him for at least 5 years, starting with one or two visits per day up until his recent death supporting with two carers, four times a day. Dad very much wanted to remain at home and with their support this was achieved. Their compassion
and support at the end did not go unnoticed, during the hardest week before he died they remained professional at all times, whilst ensuring Dad was treated with dignity.
The carers that visited over the years became very dear friends to dad and to myself. I miss not seeing them on a daily basis and hearing the chorus of 'Amazing Grace'.
I cannot recommend Crescent enough to look after and care for a loved one.

When I came home, I was totally bed bound and in a lot of pain from a broken hip. The staff were as gentle as possible under the circumstances and did their best to ensure the least possible pain while they were attending to me, and that I was as comfortable as I could be. I have found all the staff
are pleasant and cheerful in all circumstances and generally punctual. Overall, I feel I have been treated with dignity and respect at all times and am very pleased with the service I am receiving.

A particular staff & the care team were fabulous. Always looking to go the extra mile & performing duties on time. They were always kindly engaged with my mum, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs them during (often) difficult times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Crescent have supported my Dad for many years until he went into residential care home at 96.


They were always understanding , responsive and constantly adapted to his needs. We were very lucky to have just 2 regular carers who covered his support across the week so had consistency and

continuity.


Having access to their app meant I could read a daily report on how he was - so important as I do not live locally.


I have no hesitation in recommending their services for professionalism and value for money.

Where do I start ..
The biggest thank you will never be enough!
The management and staff are an absolutely wonderful team.
My 99 year old Mam received amazing care for almost a year until her recent death.
The care was to an exceptionally high standard and she was treated with dignity and respect.
All
staff are committed to their roles and show kindness, compassion and professionalism.
Nothing at all was too much trouble and she considered the staff as extended family often calling them her guardian angels.
They went above and beyond to ensure Mams safety and comfort.
It was evident that the carers brought a sense of joy to Mams home.
Office staff communication was also excellent keeping me informed of any problems.
We as a family were truly supported in everything through a difficult time.
With the help of Crescent care, Mam was able to stay in her own home until she sadly passed away.
Would I recommend Crescent, absolutely 100 percent!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can't recommend Crescent Homecare enough, best care company around! My nana has had the carers for about 3 years and we have been overjoyed with their service. The girls that looked after my nana were nothing short of amazing! I will be forever grateful for the care and compassion they showed her over
the years. Having carers was something we were initially apprehensive about and so was she. Meeting the girls soon put our minds at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were always chatty and smiling. We got to know the girls well as a family. My nana absolutely loved them all and really looked forward to their visits. Unfortunately, my nana passed away in January and was looked after by the carers, right up until she went into hospital. As a family, we can't thank them enough for their support over the years. We will continue to recommend Crescent Homecare to anyone looking for a care company.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother received invaluable twice-daily visits from Crescent Homecare staff, until she moved to a carehome. She also received twice-weekly bathing and social outings. I think this reliable and friendly service contributed greatly to her well-being. Daily social interaction was so important for my
mother, and she enjoyed the carers' company so much that some carers have remained friends.
On occasion, Crescent Homecare carers went above and beyond their scheduled service, even staying overnight to take care of her, and for this I am very grateful.

My dad has been having care from Crescent Homecare for 2 years now. Without their excellent care, he would not be still living in his own home. All carers are good, some are exceptional. They all do more than I initially expected. After he has a shower, they put the washing in. I do his main shopping
but they pop for bread and milk. If he unexpectedly runs out of medication, they phone the doctors. If he needs the nurse to come, they call them. The office cancel visits if I request it (with 24 hours notice). I get a weekly email telling us which carers are coming and what time. Friends who use other agencies tell me this is unusual. Senior staff have advised me and supported me in getting things dad needed, like a hospital bed. Without them, I would have not known how to get one. All in all, excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has had care from Crescent Homcare for about two years. She has dementia but wants to live at home so we all agreed to four visits a week to ensure she eats. The other three she has other care input. Also Mum needed an assisted bath once a week. What I love about the company is that if we need
to change the care plan it's done immediately. One week my mum wants this to eat then she doesn't and one week she wants her bedding changed and then she changes her mind. The home care works around Mum's needs only. Also, I can read daily (which I do) the carer's notes online which is so reassuring. All in all, I would recommend.

Crescent Homecare looked after Mum for the last twelve months of her life and I cannot praise their care enough. All staff were friendly and Mum loved having them. They didn't dictate to her and always asked what she wanted. They kept me informed at all times if there were any problems and were quick
to respond if her health deteriorated. She was treated with the greatest respect and dignity at all times. I cannot recommend this company and their carers enough and I thank them all for everything they did for my mum, it was greatly appreciated.

After a lengthy stay in hospital recovering from a series of life-changing injuries, the service that Crescent Homecare has provided has been first-class. Always professional, punctual and supportive with nothing too much trouble, the whole team have been a fantastic help from day one and has helped
us massively to adapt to my change in circumstances. I would strongly recommend Crescent Homecare to anyone without hesitation.

We have used this service for years now, for my brother with a learning disability.
Crescent Homecare help him to access the community and always make sure that he is able to make appropriate informed choices regarding his choice of activity.
Excellent person-centred individual service, that always

They contribute to a team that enables him to live a full and valued life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband needed care for the two months before his death in February 2023. I chose Crescent Homecare of Langlet Park for its friendly, unpretentious response to my enquiries, unlike the more slick business style manner of other companies.
The staff who came to look after him were good timekeepers
and were, without exception, kind and competent. They were friendly but not familiar and respected and remembered our preferences.
I would not hesitate to recommend Crescent to anyone in the district requiring care.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.986 for Crescent Homecare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.986

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Crescent Homecare Ltd is based on 12 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.
