Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
We have been using The Caring Company for over a year now and I have had no hesitation in asking them to increase care when my mother, with Alzheimer's, required extra support. They have been nothing but helpful and accommodating in meeting our needs.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Sharon H (Daughter of Client) published on 17 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Maureen Walker

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.
