Overall the staff are supportive, caring and treat me with kindness and respect. However due to time constraints and/or lack of training, there have been three occasions when the contents of the commode have been accidentally spilt onto the carpet. I understand the carers often work under pressure, but these incidents have caused stress for me and my daughter and have been difficult to clean up. We appreciate accidents can happen however further training for staff, particularly re cleaning procedures, would be beneficial.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you have found our staff supportive, caring, and respectful in the care they provide.
We were sorry to learn about the incidents involving the commode and understand the stress and inconvenience this caused for...
Always on time and very caring towards my daughter, and very patient with her.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are delighted to hear that our team has been consistently on time and that they provide such caring and patient support to your daughter. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your daughter's care journey.
Carers always turn up on time.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are delighted to hear that your experience with Primary Homecare has been so positive. Our carers thoroughly enjoy providing care and supporting you.
My dad was nervous about receiving care at home, however the experience from Primary Homecare has been supportive, friendly, and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending this company to provide care to a loved one.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that accepting care at home can feel like a big step, so we are delighted to hear that your dad feels supported throughout his journey with us. It has been our privilege to support your dad so far, and we look forward to continuing to provide the highest standard of care for him.
We are very happy with the care we get, very good at the time on the time they get.
After breaking my hip the carers and managers were excellent, all very kind, helpful and certainly helped me get back on my feet.
I am delighted to hear that our carers supported you to get back on your feet after your hip operation. We are very keen to ensure all our clients are reabled effectively after a stay in hospital.
They do the job satisfactorily in every way.
I am glad you are happy with our service. If you ever need anything further please do not hesitate to contact the office.
My review is based on 11th May, in which the carer was extremely helpful. It wasn't a good day for me as it was my wedding anniversary for 35 years, in which it was hard for me as Nigel isn't here now. We got the bus into town, we went into some shops, then we got to the house and had some time left so we dropped the shopping off at the house and we went to the local shop. Then we came back to the house and played a board game. The carer helped me put the items back into my room, I also bought a rose plant for my husband.
I am so pleased that our carer was able to support you on a particularly difficult day. What a lovely sentiment to buy a rose plant for your husband.
Most of the carers have been able to carry out all the tasks I have specified. I do not require personal care. A carer comes for one hour every every Friday. I have been using Primary Homecare since December 2022.
I am delighted that our carers are carrying out all the tasks you require. I also appreciate your loyal custom since December 2022.
Overall I am very pleased with the care that I get. All very good and cheer me up = but sometime they do not stay for the full 30 minutes that I am paying for!
Thank you for your feedback which we always take onboard. I have checked back over the rotas and some carers only stay 25 minutes and some go over time to 35 minutes. I will send a message to say you want them to stay the full 30 minutes. We are happy that you are overall pleased with our service and that the carers cheer you up.
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.
