My sister is losing her eyesight with AMD and was very reluctant to accept the need for help. The people at The Caring Company in Didcot have been very gentle with their approach to her and understanding. This has allowed for a gradual increase in the amount of help that she feels comfortable...
There is an easy and regular dialogue with the management and their wonderful staff, in order to sort out the evolving needs of my sister. My family and I do not live in the UK so having The Caring Company help allows my sister to remain in her much-loved home.

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 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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
