I have found premier care excellent in their care for my elderly father. He has had two excellent carers consistently during our time using their services. The carers were both kind, considerate and very helpful with my father.
I would recommend them highly.

We've been really grateful for the care and support provided to a loved one. One of the carers in particular shows real warmth and kindness in everything she does. It's not just about meeting needs - it's about genuine, thoughtful care that really makes a difference.
Family visiting from abroad were
deeply moved by the way she was treated, with patience, and dignity.


The company is also approachable and responsive. If we ever need anything adjusted, they're happy to help, and usually follow up in person, which is a lovely touch, especially for older clients.


Thank you to the team - your care really matters.

One of the carers regularly attends in the evening and she helps with my cat layla. She has devised 2 or 3 games for layla to play and it has made layla much healthier. She has lost half a kg of weight. She has to grab the straws, 2 at a time. I am hoping that by the summer, her games with the carer
will lead layla to losing a substantial amount of weight. I am very grateful for her support.

My mother has been very well looked after by her home care team for several years. She is fortunate enough to have formed a special bond with many of them which in my opinion demonstrates the value of continuity of care and familiarity wherever possible.
I have been constantly reassured by the prudence
of management and my mother has benefitted from their willingness to adapt and offer sagacious options during times of crisis. Their reliability flexibility and willingness to adapt has been fundamental in my mother's quality of care.

we are delighted to hear that our continuous support and care has been received positively by the family. We provide quality care and that is our paramount to put family members and clients at ease. Trust is built and i am delighted to hear that you are pleased with all the care services and commitment we did put while looking after your mother.

My Dad was 89 years of age when Premier Care Services took over his home care where he was living independently but needed a care provider. I identified them as a Care Company due to their CQC feedback and scoring.
Dad was diagnosed with dementia when they took him on and his only requirement was that
he wanted to stay in his home and not go into a Care Home.
Dad was not easy at this point, he could be challenging and a little ungrateful in his interaction with people. Premier were amazing with him from the outset and were able to work with him and over time get the very best from Dad, Dad literally significantly improved!
Dad had sufficient funds to pay for his own care and had eight hours a day, two carers in the morning, 1 sitting over lunch into the afternoon and two carers in the afternoon. With this level of support he was able to stay at home but the gentle stimulation of being with people he pulled back from where he was, to be able to go and play a tune on his beloved piano.

We changed care providers for my mum in October, due to her previous care agency being inadequate.
I chose Premier Care Services and I'm so glad I did. They are a good example how a well run care agency can make difference to a person's care.
A member of staff came and met mum, assessed her needs
and then matched her to the carers mum has now.
Mum is happy with her care and has certainly enjoyed the home cooked breakfasts she gets each morning!
Premier set up a WhatsApp group for them, myself and the carers. This is so good for me, the carers show me what meals mum has had and what snacks they have left mum if she gets hungry. They can let me know any concerns they have with mum, also if there is anything they need picked up in the shopping. It means I have direct contact with Premier and the carers which allows me to see each day how mum is. This is so helpful as I don't live near to my mum so we can chat about her day on the phone without me worrying about the care she is getting.

I am thrilled to have come across Premier Care when had to find support with daily living tasks for my wife- a stroke survivor. During the assessment, the team took the time to understand the specific needs and challenges and adopted a personalised care plan that facilitates the physical and emotional
well-being of my wife. The team are honest, and highly skilled professionals in handling the complexities that come with caregiving. I have no hesitation in recommending Premier Care to anyone in need of care services.

Due to my mum having Dementia and living on her own at the time, we made the decision to get mum a carer just for the company. I was recommended Premier Care by a friend who was using them for her mum. From the first call, and then meeting I knew Premier Care were the one for me. Doreen was wonderful,
even though mum was very reluctant, The manager was so kind and caring that mum agreed to try. Well, we have never looked back and along came the carer. Mum had to leave her home and go into Assisted Living - the carer was our Guardian Angel, mum was very unhappy but seeing her friendly familiar face was her reassurance. Mum didn't last long in Assisted Living and we had to make the hardest decision to put her in a home - again the carer was our Guardian Angel and the familiar face Mum needed to make her feel safe. I would wholeheartedly recommend Premier Care to everyone. They are an amazing team and will be forever grateful to them all.

My mum died in August 2023, after receiving care from you for 4 months.
Your carers were kind and loving, treating my mother not only with dignity and respect, but also in the same way that they would care for their own parents.
They brightened my mother’s final months and nothing was too much effort
for them.
At times when my mother became agitated due to pain, they soothed her by singing to her.
They were gentle with my mum, and although I set extremely high standards for the level of care I required for Mum, they never minded when I asked them to “tweak" aspects of their visits.
When Mum died, several of the carers came round to pay their respects. It touched me that they had bonded so strongly with my mum in the time that they had known her.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Premier Care to anyone needing help with caring for a loved one.
They are a truly amazing team of workers and I am extremely grateful to them all.

Premier has been very helpful and accommodating in changes to care needs that happened at a moment's notice. They were always very responsive and supportive in helping us whenever we have required changes and support. Special mention to one member of staff in particular who always was willing to accommodate
sudden requests and requirements. I would contact them if I needed care support again.

When I had to find a daily care package for my father due to his lack of mobility I was concerned about my ability to find a solution that both my parents would be happy with. I was very fortunate to find Premier Care - from day one the staff were reliable, conscientious and immediately made the difference
that was required. I am more than happy to pay the monthly bill as it was indeed value for money. Would heartily recommend.

I have been using Premier Care Services Ltd for the past four years and during this time I have found them to be extremely reliable. They always ensure that I have the same carer and if this is not possible I am always informed in a reasonable time. I find that the staff maintain a high standard of
care. The carer is friendly and very respectful to me and my family. They maintain professionalism at all times and are sensitive to my personal needs. My carer is very polite and communicates well with me.

It was a pleasure working with you and the family was very supportive and friendly and this made the work go smoothly. We are dedicated to provide the best care to all our service users and family to the best of our capacity. We believe in quality not quantity.

We have used Premier Care Services for many years for my father. The carers have been excellent and looked after my father very well. The carers have been polite and respectable. On occasions, there has been staff turnover and this has sometimes resulted in the care routine not being consistent, however,
once this has been raised to the management team, it is resolved very quickly. I am so glad that my father had the great care provided by Premier.

I cannot comment on the carers as I do not see them regularly. The office staff are very helpful. Different carers attend - not the same carers each week.
Reply from Doreen Nakiyimba, Manager at Premier Care Services Ltd

Thank you for taking the time to complete our review and we are grateful for your response. In terms of the carers, we do always allocate each client three carers on weekly basis as permanent staff but we only send another carer for emergency cover. However as requested, we will try our best to ensure we keep the same carers as much as possible.

Absolutely exemplary care of my elderly mother in the last few months of her life. She was able to die at home with her family around her because of the care she received from Premier Care Services Ltd. She was treated with care, dignity and kindness by everyone who visited her. Premier Care responded
with more visits as her needs increased and tried to send the same carers to her that she has built a relationship with. It was hard, as a family, to entrust these tasks to someone else, but we cannot fault the care and compassion she was shown.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.887 for Premier Care Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.887
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Premier Care Services 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.

I joined Premier Care Services this year 2019 as a Manager. So far I have completed so much training and I have had meetings with Brokerage re- Quality meetings on improving our services at Premier Care Services. I have met with families/ service users during assessments, spot checks and also worked closely with our staff in order we continue to provide high-quality service to service users and promote Equality and Diversity for all.


I have managed crisis, complaints and emergencies with successful outcomes. I have always notified CQC and Brokerage (Croydon) of any missed call and death that arises within the organisation. I have ensured that all carers/staff get their training up to date, carrying out staff meetings and worked closely with the directors aiming to provide high-quality services towards service users and staff at large.


I have also worked closely on medication monitoring ensuring that staff do record all medication being administered to service users and also ensuring that all medications are in a blister pack or doesn't box as this will prevent the error from carers when prompting or supervising medication.


I have continued to be diligent and focused in the delivery of care and support of the team. I am committed to ensuring that we aim at delivering high-quality care and support to service users and carers. I follow the policies and procedures under The Health and social care Act 2008 as (amended), The Health and social care act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.


I have worked closely to ensure that we follow CQC recommendations and improve the services being provided.


I support the team by carrying out Telephone Monitoring to service Users as this helps us to know how we are doing and any concerns that are reported are always resolved as soon as possible. At present, all service users are happy with the services being received. Carers’ timekeeping has improved massively and worked closely with carers educating them on the importance of communication has improved and reduced complaints from service users.


Services user’s preferences and wishes are always taken into account and this is always done during assessments.


I have also carried out person-centred Care plans for all service users as this is important due to service user’s different needs.
