Tendacare

Tendacare have looked after me very well for many years. They are kind and courteous and very caring.

In the autumn of last year, I developed Polymyalgia and with it, increasing stiffness of my arms, neck and shoulders, making washing and dressing extremely difficult. I was very grateful for some kindly help from the lovely ladies of Tendacare, for a few weeks until I was well enough to look after myself again.

When I moved to a flat with a walk in shower with no support rails, which I was too nervous to use while in the house alone, I called on Tendacare again, who not only helped me to shower safely, but also showed me where I needed rails, so that I quickly regained my confidence and independence.

Everyone who visited me treated me with kindness and respect and I was very happy in their care. I only wish I had called for help sooner.

I have been using Tendacare for about 4 years. They have supplied kind and helpful carers who look after me well. Without their support, I could not maintain my independence and ability to live in my own home.

We are extremely happy with Tendacare's service. They are very reliable and on time with each visit.
The same staff visit each week, which is great for continuity.
They are kind, tidy and are each a pleasure.
We could not recommend them highly enough.

We have been using Tendacare for quite a few years now to provide ad hoc care for my husband when I am out. The office staff are always extremely friendly and helpful and have always managed to fit us in when requested. The carers who visit are friendly and reliable. They carry out their duties with complete efficiency but also maintain a happy friendly atmosphere. I am so grateful to them as I am able to spend a few hours away from home with complete confidence that he will be looked after properly and should there be a problem, the carers know exactly what to do and who to contact. I can't recommend them highly enough.

From first calling the agency, having my assessment, everything put in place very efficiently and helpful at all times. The care I received from all carers was excellent. Everybody kind and helpful. I would recommend this agency. Thank you.

I have always been more than satisfied with the care I receive from Tendacare. The carers that attend to me are very kind and helpful. I could not ask for better care than I get.

A totally professional service.
Very caring and without their help I would not have been able to keep Dad at home as he dearly wanted.
Thanks to them all.

I have had carers from Tendacare for over a year now. I have 3 visits a week. I have both physical and mental disorders and my carer is always very kind and caring. I have help showering, getting dressed and drying my hair. Also changing my bed and taking the rubbish away. All this is done in such a way that I never feel embarrassed. I have a main carer who comes but if for any reason she can't come, then I am phoned and told who is coming. I have had 5 of them and each one gives the same high standard.

We (my brother and I) used Tendacare to assist our 24/7 carers with personal care for our elderly bed-bound mother, both in the morning and evening during her end of life care.
Using their experience, they helped the 24/7 carers with washing and changing our mother during these difficult weeks. They were kind and efficient, but occasionally slightly late, due to difficulties encountered with earlier visits to others.

Throughout the process of dealing with Tendacare they have always shown compassion, been helpful and flexible. All the staff have been polite, respectful and caring. As well as the support for my mother, they have always supported me both in a practical and emotional sense.

The Tendacare team looked after both my parents, most recently my father over a two year period. They always acted with the utmost care, compassion, dignity, professionalism and friendly manner.
They made a huge positive difference to my parents and enabled them to continue to live in their own home, which was their wish. The family also greatly appreciated the support of the Tendacare team and the knowledge our parents were in such good hands.

My husband has a brain tumour, which is inoperable. We were recommended to us Tendacare by the district nurse team. We are very happy to have them come into our home. They provide a great support in helping with my husband's personal hygiene in a friendly, efficient way. Nearly always arriving promptly, and if required would provide a light breakfast.
I trust them completely and would not hesitate to pass their company name onto others . Having a regular staff member is important to us too.

Fantastic support form all the team. Excellent response to changing care needs. Always available for advice and support.

I have my daughter home for different weeks during the year. Tendacare have always fitted us in, my daughter is wheelchair bound has CP. They are efficient; the ladies who visit us are all friendly, they make her laugh, she loves having them in to help her shower and dress and cannot manage without them.

Tendacare came highly recommended to us for my mother-in-law several years ago and have fully justified their reputation; we had no hesitation in approaching them for our neighbour. Their staff have been unfailingly professional, caring and reliable. Timing of visits was generally good; and understandably, given that there are inevitable emergencies on occasion, they were sometimes delayed. Staff let us know if they had any concerns about our neighbour.
