I have complete faith in the ability of all the staff to do a perfect job. They are all caring and polite at all times and respectful of my needs as well as my husband's requirements at all times. The office staff are also very helpful with regard to extra needs if and when required. I am totally satisfied with all aspects of this care package and would definitely recommend them to any interested parties.
Thank you very much for your response, it is appreciated.
The staff are really caring and go out of their way to ‘see’ what needs doing and are calm and reassuring in their manner with my mother. Their communication is excellent and my father has been particularly pleased with their excellent timekeeping.

The Caring Company cared for my mum for almost two years. The service they provided was excellent, respectful and kind. My mum looked forward to seeing them. They were also so helpful and supportive to me, easy to talk to and nothing was ever too much trouble. I can't thank them enough for all they did for my mum.
Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.
The personality of both client and carer is so variable, but when the two match, it is preferable that they continue together, if possible. But of course, the client must accept other carers (holidays, change of work rota). A good carer can be someone who understands the client, as a family member would.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
The Caring Company have been providing care for my mother for many years. As her dementia has progressed, the care package has increased to meet her needs. Throughout this time, the care provided has been outstanding, with a great consistency of carers. The management team are extremely supportive and helpful. The Caring Company has enabled my mother to live at home with the best possible care.
Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.
Every aspect has been very satisfactory.

We have had the caring company for over a year. We are satisfied with the care we get. The carers are punctual, polite, always cheerful and very helpful. We would recommend the Caring Company to anyone who needs support.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
For several years I have had a rare neurological condition called Cerebellar Ataxia and am now unable to do anything for myself. I have carers 3 times a day to deal with my personal care and to get me from y bed in the morning to my armchair and commode when necessary and back into bed in the evening, they use a hoist to help with this. The carers are very helpful and willing to understand and deal with my condition, which was initially new to them, they take on board advice from OTs and treat me with care and respect.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
All the carers do that little bit extra when needed. They communicate well and really care about your wellbeing. The office provides immediate response to any extra help when needed and are very affable. They have provided care for me over the past four years.
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is appreciated.
The company is brilliant and the carers are very helpful as I live by myself.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
I have nothing but praise for this company. All the carers are polite, kind, friendly and willing to help with all my needs. The office staff are very efficient and respond very quickly to any queries.
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is appreciated.
The caring company has been a lifesaver and have been involved with my brother for the last 3.5 years. We have been able to talk together and adjust his needs as we went along. For the last year, they have visited my brother four times a day, breakfast, lunch, tea and bedtime and shopped for him, all with good humour, patience and calmness.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is very much appreciated.
When I hear moans from others about impunctual carers, I consider myself very lucky. The management have ensured that their carers support me on time and with a real caring, cheery attitude. They have also gone out of their way to cover when I have had awkward medical appointments. Top marks.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback, it is very much appreciated.
The caring company really do care and go out of their way to help. Thank you very much indeed to all the staff and management. Totally reliable and always professional too.
Thank you very much for your feedback, always appreciated.
Since using The Caring Company, we have noticed that he is very comfortable with all carers who visit. They do an excellent job and always interact with him, even though he struggles to speak at times. They are also very friendly and chatty with his wife, which is lovely. Every visit they make, they always ask if there is anything else they can do before leaving. They attend each visit on time or as close to the booked time as possible, which is important for him as he can get anxious. I would recommend The Caring Company to anyone looking for a care package for a loved one.
I have been very satisfied with the service I have received from the Caring Company over the last three months. The carers have done everything so well without any problems at all.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

Having worked for around 20 years in various residential settings. Was then introduced to homecare with The Leonard Cheshire group, working with people with physical disabilities in Oxford City and the surrounding area, till changes in the care sector resulted in our team being transferred to another provider.
Approaching retirement age, I planned to set up a small business to support myself and a friend for a few years. 18 years later, the company has supported many lovely people and is still lucky to have some of the original wonderful staff.
