SweetTree pride themselves on offering their clients the highest quality care and support possible, regardless of the level of need or dependency. Rated as an 'Outstanding' provider by the Care Quality Commission for two consecutive inspections (January 2018 and December 2020), their prime objective is to assist those they look after to remain in their own home for as long as they wish with dignity, independence and control over their life. They dedicate themselves to creating individualised care packages ranging from two-hour visits through to specialised live-in packages and community support programmes like SweetTree Fields Farm, which helps those attending to build confidence, independent living skills and improved overall wellness, which comes from being active in the outdoors.

Their services also include bespoke programmes to ensure that the care and support received by all clients are appropriate to their needs, catering for those with acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, dementia, and learning disabilities, including autism and dual diagnosis. Whether a client requires companionship and care at home, or more specialist support, the team of highly trained carers is here to help.

SweetTree meticulously selects its care team members and consistently offers training through its acclaimed in-house academy. For each care plan, their committed and expert staff adopt a holistic and personalised strategy to precisely align with each individual's unique care needs. Their team of professionals prioritise flexibility and transparency to adapt to the evolving needs of clients and their families.

SweetTree's high-quality care has been recognised with multiple regional and national awards, including 6 national Home Care Awards, a Top 20 Home Care Providers in London ranking by Homecare.co.uk, and 4 victories at the Great British Care Awards only in 2023.

I have been delighted with the care that I have received from SweetTree services. From our first contact with the office, we have been treated with kindness, respect and dignity. A lady visited me at home to carry out an assessment and we discussed my needs. She listened to me very carefully and
sensitively and we agreed a support package.
We started off with one visit per week but this has now been extended to twice per week. They also provided additional support for me at short notice when I needed extra help. The care assistants are willing and respond quickly, pleasantly and efficiently to all my requests.
The whole team have been so kind and caring and I am delighted with the support I am receiving. My family are also very reassured to know that I am getting additional care at home.

Sweet Tree's support has been incredible help for our family. Very carefully set up with a great deal of involvement by the managers to get to know our daughter and us and our home. The two carers have been carefully introduced and the care has been of very high quality. The carers are kind, compassionate,
insightful, patient, highly reliable and friendly and goal focussed. We know that they are carefully supervised which is also very reassuring. Our daughter feels very secure with them and values and appreciates their care and friendship. Sweet Tree staff are very polite, responsive to us as carers, listen to us and have helped share the care and given us more hope for greater recovery and rehabilitation. They are very attentive to and responsive to our daughter's wishes and reach goals and plans through negotiation. We couldn't wish for a more compassionate and skilled home care service.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Our mission is to support people in living more independently and achieving their goals, so we are pleased to see that your daughter feels her wishes are being respected. We will make sure to let the team know!

SweetTree's support has made an incredible difference for our family. Navigating my mother's condition was overwhelming at times, but from the very first assessment, we felt truly heard and involved in every step of the journey. I have nothing but praise for our support worker. Her patience, kindness,
and the progress she's made with my mother have been absolutely amazing. Our care manager, has been a warm and reassuring presence throughout the whole process. The peace of mind that comes from knowing my mother is in such good hands means the world to me, and I can't recommend SweetTree more highly or express how grateful I am for their support and care

SweetTree asked what Care we were looking for and then spent some time looking for the right person and subsequently a second person, to Care for my husband on two days a week.
They found two perfect Carers to match our brief.
The Carers were intelligent, diligent, charming and very caring. They helped
my husband shower, dress, walk, eat and chat.
He was delighted to be left in their company, whilst I was able to leave the house for a few hours twice a week.
Sweetree was very good to work with and flexible when we had to change arrangements.
I highly recommend them to you.

I can highly recommend Sweet Tree Care Services. The management is excellent - thorough, professional, competent, responsive and always willing to assist. The carers they have provided for my parents have been kind and sensitive and always reliable. They turn up when they say they will and communicate
well with my parents and have a careful balance of friendly but respectful. As a family, we feel very relieved to have Sweet Tree both as carers now but also in the future when my parents will need even more care.

From the moment we saw our new carer on a video link we knew she was someone who could take charge of any situation, who was friendly, intelligent, capable, and reliable. I knew my mother would be in safe hands and I breathed an internal sigh of relief. The care is great.
I also receive emails about
how my mum's day has gone and what happened.
The seriousness, attention, and care shown in how exactly to administer my mum's medication is also assurance that she will be looked after well.
I can ring up the office and immediately speak to someone who is helpful and will pay attention to what I am saying, with friendly respect and utmost diligence in carrying through whatever I have asked for, or dealing with any problem.
I really recommend Sweet Tree because they have consistently reliable, caring, and intelligent carers who genuinely want to look after people, and because the agency themselves are very responsive, conduct regular reviews, and are always considerate of my mum.

My surgeon suggested that I have someone with me when I left the hospital following surgery and I was given the number of Sweet Tree Home Care Services whom I contacted. I found their manner on the telephone very professional and helpful and over the period I saw 4 of the carers. All of them showed
care and compassion for me and helped me through a difficult time. I am very happy to recommend the agency to anyone needing assistance for themselves or a loved one.

For the first time, I was able to enjoy a much-needed extended break from my partner, who suffers from Huntington's Disease. It is difficult managing someone with a degenerative mental as well as physical condition, so the person coming to stay had to be the right fit for it to work. I had several meetings
and a home visit from SweetTree Home Care Services in the lead-up, and they put forward a suitable person who my partner accepted. I was able to go away for three weeks without worrying and come back to a tidy home and happy partner.

We have been using SweetTree's services for around two years, and I have been very happy with the service and care they provide for my brother, who has also highlighted how happy he is with his support workers and especially SweetTree farm, which he visits once a week and has given him a much-needed
purpose and something to look forward to.

We, as a family, have found SweetTree professional, approachable and caring. Thank you.
Our son has had care for a few years now and looks forward to his time with his carer. It gives him the opportunity to do things he wants to do independently without us worrying. His carer is caring and supportive
of him, allowing him to achieve his own personal goals.

In our experience, staff are well trained, client-centred, and trustworthy. They have been able to support my son with complex anxiety issues and treat him with respect, consideration and good humour. They take advice from his psychology team and also listen to my suggestions. The support workers build
warm relationships with him and help him to feel valued.
SweeTree has taken a great deal of care to recruit and introduce the right people for our very specific needs and assist when we have a concern. Sadly, these often excellent support workers tend to get snapped up into other jobs, and my only disappointment is that turnover can be higher than we would like due to their high skill level.
I also want to say that when we experienced a crisis as a family, the agency worked very hard to find us the extra support we needed and helped us both feel less alone through that experience.

I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2018, which changed my life in more ways than I can begin to explain. Due to my injuries, I was unable to live independently and required the full-time care of my mother. I’ve now started the transition back to living independently with the help and support of
SweetTree. Especially my support worker, who has helped me get through the toughest of times. She has always helped motivate me to try my best and never give up hope. Also, other members of staff have been great at supporting me. I really appreciate everything - thank you.

As LPA for a friend, I have known since childhood, the responsibility of trying to provide the care she needed was very heavy. Apart from the regular daily hours, sometimes I had to contact the company to find extra care at very short notice. The office staff were unfailingly supportive, patient and
efficient and always managed to meet the need. Originally the provision was some hours each day and then progressed to full time. The initial fact-finding by the company was extremely thorough, and their follow-up reviews and staff training requirements were impressive. The carers visiting for a short time, and now more permanent live-in and daily relief carer, have been very easy to work with, and they take pride in my friend's progress. Her needs regarding nutrition, exercise, medication, social care with dignity and conversation are all met with kindness and good humour. SweetTree Home Care Services was an excellent choice.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.843 for SweetTree Home Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.843

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for SweetTree Home Care Services 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
