We have since received so much wonderful feedback from those who attended, with many sharing how much they truly enjoyed the event. It means so much to us to hear that, and we are incredibly grateful in helping us honour Mum in such a special way.
As a client I wish to send a BIG thanks to everyone at Primary Homecare for the support I have received since the passing of mum.
I am delighted to hear your positive feedback. I know our carers really enjoyed supporting your mum and were happy to attend the celebration of her life. Many thanks.
Primary Homecare really does just that! Care, kindness, consideration & working hard to care for everyday needs. Friendly service with not only the visiting carers but also all those I have spoken to in the office. Peace of mind for me knowing my dad is receiving excellent service. Thank you!
We are delighted with this review. We are always happy with feedback that is so positive and i know our carers really enjoy looking after your dad.
Regular carer has established an excellent rapport with client, who is uneasy with strangers. Service excellent.
Thank you so much Graham for your excellent review. I am so glad that you are happy with our carers, particularly her regular carer and office staff and the service that we provide to your wife. We will continue with the level of service provided and it has been a pleasure looking after and we welcome any feedback that you can give us about our service.
My brother has problems that Primary Homecare staff ahve been very good at dealing with, also by keeping me informed of. He thinks very highly of the carers. They also play cards with him which he enjoys, as my brother lives alone.
Thank you for writing this review and for supporting us with your brother. It is great to know he has you in his corner for good or bad . I am also pleased he enjoys his time with our carers.
The carers always take great care in providing privacy and maintaining my dignity at all times.
The carers are always very polite and professional and take an interest in the rest of the family. They always acknowledge my wife
and you get the feeling that they are interested in our life's as much as we are there's. We have great conversations about there life's as much as ours.
We have had great support from the management team and we are both interested in maintaining their safety as much as mine during lifting and my needs
Thank you for this excellent review. I am always pleased to hear back from our clients and i am glad to know we are doing a good job for you.
All staff polite and friendly. They always ask if there is anything they can do before they go.
Thank you for your review. I am delighted you are happy with our service.
Kind, helpful and good company. Highly recommend the carers I have dealt with.
Thank you for this lovely review. We are so glad you are happy with all aspects of our service.
Great care company. The team are worth their weight in gold. Caring, kind, have empathy and very professional. We have a laugh every day. Always on time via schedule weekly. Handles all care with dignity.
We are delighted you are so happy with your care! It's good to see you are enjoying having a laugh with the care staff.
Half an hour is a bit tight sometimes.
I am happy that you are satisfied with our staff and have given them the top score. I note you have given management only one star but I need you to know it's not our decision to only allocate 30 minutes. Social Services fund the care and time is allocated by them. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
The care has been excellent and has enabled my mother to stay in her home. Some of the carers have gone above and beyond to make life easier for my mum.
We are delighted you are happy with our service. Your mum is a pleasure to care for.
Carers always ask if there's anything else they can do on that day before they leave, also the office staff are pleased to deal with any enquiry.
We are very pleased you are happy with our service and that our carers always check if you need anything else before they leave.
Carers take on additional domestic jobs without being asked.
Thank you for taking the time to give us this review as we value your opinion. I am glad to hear our carers go the extra mile and help you with other additional domestic jobs.
The care plan put in place is very good and takes into consideration all of our initial concerns. The carers are polite, very competent and friendly, they treat Mum with dignity and kindness.
When either the carer onsite or the office team have contacted me regarding Mum, they were calm, friendly and extremely helpful.
I have always been able to quickly get hold of the team on the office number and on the out-of-hours number, if needed.
I would recommended the services of Primary Homecare to anyone looking for reliable, capable and friendly care for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for your kind and complimentary comments which are greatly appreciated. It is a pleasure caring for your mum and the staff are very happy to feel so valued. Thank you again from all at Primary Homecare.
Primary Homecare offer a great service which Mum had for many years. Due to her health she has now had to relocate to a care home but she, and the whole family, are very appreciative of all the care given by Primary Homecare and would recommend their services without hesitation.
Thank you so much for all your kind comments. We loved looking after your mum and hope she is happy in her new care home. We value your feedback greatly and will pass on your comments to the carers who looked after your mum.
I find the carers very good and patient. They do everything that is asked of them. My reason for making management 'poor', because quite often the carers' times are changed but we the clients are never informed. As wife of client and full time carer, I find this very annoying as I have many problems of my own apart from coping with my husband's dementia.
Thank you for taking time to complete a review which we take very seriously. I am pleased you are happy with the staff and care your husband receives. I have checked and the one daily visit that we make is always between 10am and 11am. We never guarantee an actual time and we are fully compliant...
Notes on the app are not always correct.
The men and women who come and care for my husband are amazing kind and caring. Would recommend them to anyone, could not do without their help.
Thank you for your feedback. Our staff really enjoy caring for your husband. I am so happy you would be pleased to recommend us.
On the whole, I find Primary Homecare Ltd very good and most of the carers efficient and able. Prices are not cheap, so maybe beyond what others can afford. I wish there were fewer changes in the rotas, both of carers and of times, but realise sometimes emergencies arise. Thank you to those who look after me.
I am so pleased you find our carers efficient and able. Our prices are very competitive locally.
The carers have sometimes come early without the office letting me know. I feel I should be asked if this is ok. All the ladies who have come have been polite and friendly but do not seem to know about recycling rubbish. They do not know what can be recycled and that it has to be clean ie: cans should be washed first! Their basic cooking skills are lacking and seem to not be able to prepare meals for slow cookers/ovens without help, they are good at clearing the kitchen after use.
I am pleased you find our carers polite and friendly and they are good at cleaning your kitchen after use. We will pass on your comments about recycling to the relevant care staff.
Up until Christmas, I needed help with the preparation of meals. Since then I have needed assistance with cleaning. I realise that there are many clients on your books, but it would be very helpful to know when the carer is coming. It has varied a lot. What works for me is to phone your office early in the week to find out the arrival time on Friday.
We offer an app to all clients and families so they can have access to their visit times 24/7. We also provide good customer service to clients who phone our office. Due to client emergencies and staff absence, visit times occasionally change and this is unfortunately unavoidable.
