Overall Experience

We are extremely grateful for all the support provided by the team at Specialist Care Services. They looked after our dear friend with a great deal of kindness and compassion at all times. They worked closely with the Palliative Care Team to ensure continuous care was provided and kept us updated at all times. A family friend of ours initially recommended SCS to us, since when we also received additional recommendations, both from medical professionals and a social worker. I would highly recommend SCS for anyone looking for carer support for a loved one.

Overall Experience

My Dad had Motor Neurone Disease and we enlisted the support of SCS to help us. I have nothing but praise for the team - their care for my Dad (and also Mum) was absolutely exemplary and we could not fault the team. They were all fantastic and would go above and beyond for him. It gave myself and my sister peace of mind to know how well cared for he was. When Dad was declining they gave us as much emotional support as they did Dad physical support/care. They were with us from the very beginning and up until he passed away. They are all incredible people and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for our family.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law [Jean] received exemplary care over a period of two months, until her death at home. Jean was desperate to remain at home and not be admitted to hospital and the carers who visited her four times daily made this possible.

The carers were warm and compassionate with Jean and professional and open with us, her family.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank Specialist Care enough for the support and care they provided my Dad in his last few weeks. His carers were kind, friendly and professional, always seeing to his needs and checking in on me. They recognised when Dad needed additional medical help and told me who to contact. They were never rushed even when Dad didn't require any assistance and always made time to chat with him. The office team were always professional and helpful, offering me support and guidance along the way. It was reassuring to know that the team was highly trained and efficient. Overall, Specialist Care gave my Dad the dignity he deserved at the end of his life. This is all a family can wish for their loved one.

Review from Beverley D (Daughter of Client) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum had Specialist Carers since coming out of hospital in January until August and we have been so impressed by the care and professionalism of the whole team. The carers were all so kind and caring, mum looked forward to their visits 4 times a day, which is amazing for someone who was always so independent previously. Any queries were dealt with by the office quickly and efficiently. I felt that the carers had all been trained very well and they always entered mums flat with a cheery greeting.
They were always on time and mum had a regular team of carers who we got to know. Very happy with the service provided. Mum had had other care providers previously but these were the best.

Thank you for all the care and help.

Review from Paula S (Daughter of Client) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Specialist Care Services have quite honestly been incredible in the end of life care given to Dad, but also the empathy and support shown to me. Dad and I live together and this was truly the most difficult time we have faced in our lives.
Having never experienced care support before and with Dads wishes to pass at home, our last weeks were when we needed the most help to guarantee Dads comfort. The professionalism of the team who came to our home was outstanding. The dignity and respect shown to Dad was comforting and the way the ladies interacted with Dad gave me reassurance he was getting the best possible support and I could trust Dads care to them.
If ever in need of care for a family member or even yourself, I promise you this is the best company to contact.

I cannot thank the ladies enough for all they did for us.

Review from Angela C (Daughter of Client) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An excellent care provider. They looked after my Mum on end of life care until she passed away. The care my Mum received was exemplary, the carers were always so kind and gentle with her - but jolly too - they always managed to raise a smile. They were very respectful of my Mum, who very much valued her privacy, and always treated her in a very dignified manner. They were all very knowledgeable, and supportive of me too which I really appreciated. My Mum looked forward to their visits and they were lovely with her and so friendly. And it was nice that we always had the same familiar faces. We really appreciate the help and care that my Mum received, these wonderful carers made a very difficult time for my Mum and her family so much more bearable and I will always be so grateful for that. I can't recommend these carers highly enough, a really lovely caring group of ladies, thank you.

Reply from Michaela Green, Manager at Specialist Care Services

Dear Angela, It was a privilege to care for your mum during her final days. We are truly honoured that you entrusted us with her care at such a sensitive and important time. Our team is committed to providing comfort, dignity, and compassion, and it means a great deal to know that this was felt and appreciated.Sending our warmest wishes to you and your family, the SCS Team

I highly recommend the team led by the manager. They went above and beyond to care for my late father. The team were kind, caring and compassionate towards all of his family. We would not have been able to keep my dad at home and honour his wish without them. I will never forget the amazing job they did and how they became friends with Dad.

I am truly grateful for all your hard work and dedication. No words can thank you enough.

Review from Wendy R (Wife of Client) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The care provided by Specialist Care Services has been excellent and I cannot fault them in any way. The two carers we have on a regular basis are friendly and very committed to their work and are a credit to the the company. They are very reassuring and helpful and also always go the extra mile if needed. This is one of the main factors unique to this company, by having the same carers they get to know the patient really well and this has been the case with these two members of staff. They are always on time, and have never let us down. Obviously on their day off they have to be replaced, these carers too have been respectful and helpful, also friendly and have been flexible with their times. My husband is always very well cared for, always clean and to date have not had any problems with bed sores etc. My husband has had excellent care throughout and I would totally recommend Specialist Care Services to others, which I have done. I will sing their praises forever! Well done!

Review from Sian S (Sister of Client) published on 15 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot praise the carers from Specialist Care Services highly enough. From the moment they started to provide support to my brother, he really felt cared for and liked everyone who came to help him. He was treated so kindly by everyone, it was almost like family visiting rather than physical care. I met most of the carers and it was nice to chat with each of them and see the friendly faces each time. I know my brother felt safe with all of the team. I especially would like to offer a special mention to the manager - she organised everything expertly and would often call in to check everything was ok. Whenever there was a change to the medication or requirements she was totally in control of everything to make sure nothing was missed. It was such a relief to the family to know he was in such good hands. As a family we can never express how grateful we are for the care that he received, but thank you so much from all of us.

Overall Experience

I've had 3 care agencies in the last 3 years since I became sick. I'm now with Specialist Care, they are simply the best agency I've ever been with. My carers are always on time, very attentive, hard working and nothing is a problem to them. I simply couldn't live my life without them! I really look forward to seeing them everyday because they are so good to me because of my disability! The boss of the agency is also fabulous too. Don't think about joining another agency because you deserve the best in your life and that's 'The Specialist Care Agency'. May God bless all the people who read this special message!

Your staff definitely knew how to deal with the situation of end-of-life care. Knowledgeable/professional in every way/courteous and compassionate to the patient and her family. The carer organised their time around the patient's needs, covering a 12-hour day in the last days. The carer never complained at all throughout her time visiting the home.

Michaela Green Job Title: Manager Joined: 1998
Michaela Green

Growing up with parents who ran a residential home, I was continuously surrounded by care and the responsibilities, commitment, and passion that the industry required. Therefore, whilst obtaining my degree in accountancy, I began working as a carer and worked my way up within the family business. I then gained NVQ LVLs 2,3, and 4 in Health and Social Care and became the manager of SCS in 1998 and have been since. I am a horse enthusiast and love spending time with my family.

Stella Peat Job Title: Compliance Manager Joined: 2005
Stella Peat

I joined SCS in 2005 as a care worker and it was hugely rewarding to enable people to maintain their independent living as much as possible. Giving people in the community the time and patience to express themselves in the way they wish to do so and at their own pace.

I feel that I can say “I am part of the furniture by now” and over the years I have gained many different skills and lifelong experiences enabling me to continuously grow in my career path. As a Compliance Officer, I am responsible for ensuring that SCS complies with its outside regulatory requirements and internal policy & procedures. I aim to make sure SCS has measures in place that are adequately managed to face any possible risks.

I am currently in my last year of completing a Counselling and Psychotherapy course which I find very interesting and empowering. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring nature with my family.

Kayleigh Harrison Job Title: Payroll Manager Joined: 2012
Kayleigh Harrison

I have been part of the team now for several years, I started as part of the outreach team and enjoyed supporting our clients to be part of the wider community. I offered my services one day to help the office team and I grew my skills surrounding the planning of care and admin tasks needed to support both our clients and fellow staff members. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and traveling. Anyone who knows me will tell you I love to organize, and I love a checklist so my job provides me with the ability to use my organizational skills and meet deadlines to assist in the smooth running of the team. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my husband and our fur babies, especially our dog who loves walking adventures.

Michelle Gibbs Job Title: HR Manager Joined: 2006
Michelle Gibbs

I have worked at Specialist Care Services for nearly 15 years. I started working in the community part-time when my daughter started school. The time that I spent with our clients and seeing the impact of how our care bettered their lives encouraged me to achieve several qualifications with the support of SCS, which include my NVQ LVL 2/3. SCS has provided me with opportunities to develop myself while delivering quality care and as a result, I now hold the position of HR Manager and staff trainer. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and traveling.

Jan Sims Job Title: Occupational Therapist Joined: 2014
Jan Sims

I began my career in Health and Social Care 33 years ago as part of an Elderly Care Team within Social Services. After qualifying as an Occupational Therapist in 1998, I worked in a Hospital Rapid Response Team and in A&E to promote early discharges from the hospital. I have been part of Specialist Care Services for the past years and my main role is to assess moving and handling risks and to identify the need for equipment and adaptations to give the most optimum level of safety for carers and service users. In my spare time I enjoy watercolour painting, all types of sewing, embroidery, and gardening.
