Review from J W (Friend of Client) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's taken me a while to write this review but I wanted to say thank you to the Seashells team for all their help with my friend. The team looked after her for the last couple of years of her life and she said she couldn't have managed without them. They were particularly good whilst we were waiting
for an ambulance, realising that more help was needed and came and supported me and my friend without being asked. My friend passed away and the carer and manager dealt with the authorities in a calm and dignified manner. The team were all very fond of my friend and it was good to know they really cared for her and I can't thank them enough.

I have met with some of Mum's carer's either in person or on the phone. I have always found them to be caring polite etc. Mum hasn't had any problems with her carers and gets on well with them.
My friend whose parents live in Llandudno, I recommended Seashells to her and Seashells are providing care
for her Dad in particular.

My mother has been receiving care from Seashells Care Agency for the past twelve months and the care she receives is excellent with lovely care assistants.
She has daily help with personal care and dressing.

Seashells are a very reliable care provider company. Their staff are all professional and good at what they do. I feel confident that my mother's wellbeing is their priority and I know she enjoys their visits.

Review from Lynn D (Daughter of Client) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the first time my father has needed carers and we were worried about how he would accept care. However, the initial assessment was done in a very thorough and professional manner with due regard to his severe deafness which can make communication a challenge. The subsequent care package is working
well for him and we feel that he is well cared for and likes his carers. He has had regular carers and this has helped with continuity of care. The carers are great at spotting changes in his health and wellbeing and the level of communication has been exemplary. We are very happy with this company.

Review from A E (Client) published on 2 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Absolutely shocking! Do not go with this company. They don't cook food properly, don't clean properly, argue with clients and turn up as and when they please. Then when you contact them or complain they cut off your care package instead of trying to work together for a peaceful and productive outcome.
Very unprofessional.
Reply from Stuart Owen, Responsible individual at Seashells Care & Support Services

In response to your review. There are times when we must hand packages back. This is due to us not being able to meet the needs of the client or if the client or family member is verbally aggressive to staff or management. We would in the first instance report this to the social worker to try and resolve. As a company, we do not tolerate Clients or family members being verbally abusive to our staff or our management team which was the case on this occasion.
All staff follow what is written in the care plan and this is completed by managers in the office as per instructions from the local authority.
At Seashells we regularly carry out reviews with all our clients and regular reviews are carried out with our Responsible individual and any issues are solved to the client’s satisfaction.
We are also monitored by CIW and the local authority monitoring teams on a regular basis.
We are sorry that you felt the need to leave what we consider an unjust review.

Review from Jennifer E (Niece of Client) published on 4 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care and support my aunty receives from Seashells is outstanding and, without it, she would have had to go into residential care this year.
The carers are so kind to her, and she always looks forward to their visits. They are punctual, professional and even look after her cat.
We really are
so thankful for all they do and can’t recommend them highly enough.

I cannot speak highly enough of the carers who have visited my wife. They are friendly, kind, understanding and always trying to put the client at ease. I have been most impressed by their professionalism coupled with their caring reassurance and offers to go the extra mile to help. First-class.

Thank you, Peter, for taking the time to write this review. I will pass the compliment onto our team.

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 4.457 for Seashells Care & Support Services is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (1 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.457

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Seashells Care & Support Services is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
