Over all time LifeCare Edinburgh has 18 reviews.
The friendliness of the staff and reliability and concern for the clients.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you are happy with the service that you receive.
My carer arrives on time and is well dressed. They will do any jobs that are required and are helpful and courteous. They are of great assistance when going on buses or when just walking any distance.
Thank you for the review and we are delighted that you are happy with the Outreach service.
I am well looked after and cared for. My medical needs are taken care of along with any physical or mental needs. I am also able to talk about any personal problems I may have and get good, sensible advice. All care workers past and present have all been a great help to me in my day to day life.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are very pleased that you are happy with the service that you receive.
The staff who attend my brother with dementia, are extremely caring and understanding. We all get on well.
Thank you very much for the review of our Outreach service. We are delighted that you are happy with the care and support that we provide.
The service (Life Care) was recommended to me by a member of a local carer's group. Life Care has given us peace of mind, allowing our Dad, who has dementia, to be taken out and about while in long-term hospital care.
They contacted me directly to discuss activities and equipment (wheelchair) that could improve his care. The office staff are prompt and efficient. We are very pleased to have found them.
Many thanks indeed for your review. We are delighted that you are so happy with the service.
My home carer is reliable, punctual and friendly. She is willing to do anything she's asked and doesn't waste time.
We are delighted that you are happy with the service.
He tremendously enjoys the time he spends with the carer and benefits from the companionship of someone not in the family.
He is taken for walks and visits to places that interest him and is always treated with great respect.
The carers have a pro-active approach to communication that is helpful in stimulating dementia sufferers.
I appreciate the strong emphasis on safety and security and have trust in LifeCare staff.
Thank you for your very kind review. We are delighted that you are happy with the service that you receive from us.
I have used LifeCare Edinburgh and I must say it has helped me a lot. I have one carer who comes to help me five mornings a week. She is good company and assisted me when I shower, keeps my shower, wash hand basin and ME sparkling clean!!
She is a very caring carer.
The staff in the office are always pleasant when contacted and when I phone to pay my monthly account. They are most helpful and I know them by first names now.
For overall performance, I would certainly recommend LifeCare Edinburgh.
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Both are exactly what you would wish in a carer, very helpful, happy, patient (even when the client is a bit grumpy).
I could not wish for better with these carers.
That is great to know and thank you so much for the lovely review.
My wife continues to enjoy the visits of her carers who have become good friends to her and myself. They continue to give her a happy and comfortable start to her day. They have encouraged her to converse more freely and as a result, are improving her dysphasia. They are now a major event in her morning and an important factor in her recovery.
We are delighted that the service is making an important contribution to your wife's recovery.
I have always found this agency to be extremely helpful. The staff are very pleasant and support workers always arrive on time. Very pleased with this agency.
Thank you very much for the review. We are delighted that you are happy with the service.
My husband now has a very experienced caregiver and I can leave home for a few hours knowing that he is in safe hands.
I would highly recommend LifeCare to anyone who is tired of making calls to agencies who arrange to call you or visit you and don't turn up!!!! This does not happen with LifeCare and every member of staff that I've dealt with has been professional and friendly.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review.
I could not have found a more personable person than my carer and the standard of work is excellent, in short my carer is excellent in every way.
Thank you very much for the lovely review.
Their invoice charges me one month in advance and I always pay in full.
Now there have been time when my wife was is in hospital and I have cancelled the relevant respite care periods, this result in the invoice I have paid being an overcharge.
The accounts department do not always compensate and I have written to them twice and phoned several times with only partial success.
I am a full time carer for my wife which can be very stressful and I should not have this added problem to contend with.
We are sorry to hear of the difficulty you have had recently with the Accounts department. LifeCare are dedicated to making things run as smoothly as possible for all our clients. Please be assured that we hope this issue has now been resolved for you.Thank you.
It is assuring that using them to support two elderly parents that they look on their support workers almost as friends which is an additional bonus of not only providing physical care but delivering a social aspect to the service and ultimately gives the family peace of mind.
Very good service. My mothers carer is very kind, thoughtful and helpful. A good relationship has developed between her and my mother. Comfortable having my mothers carer in the house.
The carer meets my husband at his physio group, brings him home in a taxi and gives him his lunch. They chat, do a jigsaw or watch TV until i get home from my weekly voluntary work shift. This gives us both a break and we appreciate the reliable and responsible care provided.
The home help ladies are all extremely friendly and helpful. The scope of work which we discussed and agreed at the beginning of the arrangement is of tremendous practical help to me.
Apart from the actual home help work which is provided, I also enjoy the friendly chatty nature of the ladies who visit.
The Lifecare Home help Department is managed very well and in particular there are no gaps in the service provided to me. I am always fully advised in advance of any changes taking place because of holidays, illness etc.
