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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
SweetTree were so professional and helpful, from my initial enquiry, right through to providing an assessment and care package for my grandfather. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt well listened to by all of the office staff. I would highly recommend to others looking for a care provider.

SweetTree staff are all well presented, have a caring nature and are open to discussion to their times and are well tuned into my sons needs and how he likes to be cared for. The management are all very friendly and are open to any discussion, help and support we may need. They conduct regular reviews
to make sure that the staff and client relationships is going well and to address any issues that may arise.

Review from Peter G (Son of Client) published on 14 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since having had a fall in May 2015, my mother now 94 has required 24 hour live in care, and I arranged for Sweet Tree Home Care Services to provide this care. This care has been much appreciated by my mother and by my wife and I, who are now much less worried than when my mother was sometimes on her
own. The carer and those who provide the care during periods of absence such as holidays have behaved professionally and kindly, while the focused support, advice and involvement of the care manager has been invaluable in ensuring my mother's welfare and comfort as constant attention is paid to the care plan, and it's implementation not only by the carer but also by the care manager, additionally. The carer is available to my mother on a long term basis so valuable continuity is achieved. The agency shows great attention to detail and best practice and, as in so many areas, this is the key to achieving excellence.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The review was carried out in the most professional and caring way and lasted for about half an hour. Health was on the agenda, and I gained a few useful tips regarding coping with any physical problems (I suffer from osteoarthritis and diabetes). The service manager was very well versed in medical
matters and it was altogether a very pleasant meeting, and I hope the next review will be as straight forward.
