Review from Charlotte T (Daughter of Client) published on 23 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We would like to thank all concerned with our mothers care from Mumby's.
I have worked in elder care for 25 years myself and found everyone at Mumby's to be excellent from management to care staff.
Everyone wants the best for their loved ones and nothing is too much for this amazing company, they embraced Mum's care with respect and kindness at all times.

I would highly recommend Mumby's to anyone.

Reply from Joel Mumby, Admin at Mumby's Live-in Care

Thank you very much, Charlotte. It's here that the quality of care transcends down from management to care staff.

Review from Stephen R (Father of Client) published on 18 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After a series of falls by my 86 year old mother who lives with my disabled father, I was recommended Mumby's amongst other care agencies. After telephoning around to find out the best, fastest solution, I was most impressed by Mumby's response, the manager's obvious concern and care and also offering the best and fastest solution. We were visited the next day to meet my father and discuss his/our needs, she then came back to me later that night with a few carer proposals and duly arrived with al lovely lady from Slovakia the following day. A difficult transition for my father to accept care meant things were far from simple, Mumby's was supportive all the way through and enormously helpful in the way they handled the situation. We are now on our third carer from the agency, a delightful French lady who has settling in very well. Each hand over has been very well handled and Mumby's have been very sensible about the pricing. I could not recommend them enough.

Actually tremendously helpful. My father is particularly difficult with increasing dementia issues. The team helped me navigate through these testing times. The manager and her team have the patience of saints!

I felt overwhelmed with how to cope with my mum's care but after contacting Mumby's I was so reassured.
Since the assessment, Mum has been provided with first-class care.
Everybody at Mumby's has been kind and supportive, nothing is too much trouble.
Mum and I are both very happy.

Thank you.

Overall Experience

Having had very little experience with a care company previously, Mumby's team have been nothing more than exceptional in their support, care and professionalism in assisting us. They have been so understanding both to the client and to us. Their knowledge, communication and consideration of a very difficult situation has proven to be invaluable. They work as a team along with other faculties which has enabled us to focus on the decisions that need to be made and not to be immersed in the anxiety of a stressful situation. We would not hesitate to recommend Mumby's - their staff are a pleasure to work with, their on-site care people are of a very high standard, they have supported and reassured us throughout and most importantly their knowledge and connections have been so helpful to us in understanding an area we knew very little about. If you need a reliable, professional care company Mumby's is the company you need to use.

Review from Maggy S (Daughter of Client) published on 18 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mumby's carers treated my parent with respect and dignity as he required during a difficult time of his life. Mumby's took time to find a carer that would suit in a particularly demanding situation and see we could carry on maintaining a standard of life for my father that he needed until the end. We are very grateful.

Review from T D (Daughter of Client) published on 4 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
In terms of care, my father is receiving exemplary care. He is treated more as the carer's relative than as a patient. She has quickly established his trust and he is experiencing a better quality of life than before hospital with daily walks, exercises, lots of music and talking.
I cannot fault the care he is receiving.

Some points for improvement. 1. there has been some inconsistency between management regarding equipment needs which has introduced an unnecessary cost. 2. it has been less handover and relax and involved a lot more input than expected.

Thanks for taking over and looking after my mother and father in their own home.
Your team are doing this and my parents are where they want to be.
They are being treated with kindness and dignity.
They certainly enjoy the variable diet.

My wife and I can now relax and go out and go on holiday knowing my parents are in safe hands.

Overall Experience
Although my father only received live-in care for a very short time before he passed away the care and support for my father and myself and brother was excellent.

It was a great comfort to us that his last few weeks at home after leaving hospital was spent with peace and dignity.

Mumby's Homecare Support always provide the highest level of care. They are very responsive to Mum's changing needs and she has a great relationship with her carer for whom nothing is too much trouble. I am kept fully informed of any issues or concerns this carer has and they can be rapidly resolved.

Very good, skilled carers in my two experiences. Left hip replacement (May/June); right hip replacement (August/September). Flexible in approach. Weakness was in some of the set-up and administration, though in counter sorted out car arrangements when my insurer failed to provide the cover needed.

Overall Experience

Mumby's are a reliable family agency, which we have used for over six months. We are satisfied with the quality of the carers, and they handle my wife's situation (and consequently mine) well. Possibly the only comment I have is that some of the carers' spoken English is difficult to understand, and vice versa. My wife likes some carers better than others, but that is the nature of her illness.
