EMH responded quickly to my initial enquiry and quickly visited to understand more. Both the manager and the carer grasped what we needed very quickly, and we had it all up and running in less than a week. The care was just as we wished, thanks.

East Midlands Homecare cared for my bedbound, non-verbal mum from January 2017 until she passed in February 2023. In late 2022, they began caring for my dad, who needed increasing support until he passed a few days ago. Over eight years, they became part of our family. Many carers remained throughout,
earning my dad's full trust. He was proud and didn't want care, but they introduced it gently, ensuring he retained his dignity. When asked if he was okay, he'd always say, "I am now you're here." In his final days, they kept me informed and ensured he had the support he needed. One carer stayed awake overnight, checking on him as he peacefully passed. Because of them, I was there within half an hour, holding his hand, which was still warm-a special moment. Being assigned East Midlands Homecare in 2017 was a lottery win. I'd be happy to share my experience with anyone considering their care, and have provided my contact details to the team.

Reply from Debbie Gray, Manager at East Midlands Homecare (Long Eaton and surrounding areas)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to care for both of your parents over the years, and I know how much they both meant to the whole team. I feel equally grateful that we were brought together back in 2017 and that we have had such a fabulous relationship since. We will miss the entire family and do hope that we will stay in touch. Thank you again, and be assured your words will be shared with our whole fabulous team.

Excellent, caring service, nothing too much trouble. Adjust the care to my husband's needs and help him to do as much as he can for himself.
The carers are also wonderful to me as his wife.
I like the approach of a rota which is stuck to.
