6 am or 9 pm they are just as cheerful.
My meals are brought to me and everything is left tidy.
I could manage without them.

My father is in his 90's and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As his regular carers have got to know him, they were able to anticipate his needs to provide the level of support that he required. At a recent assessment meeting, because Alzheimer's has affected his short term memory, he was unable to recall what the carers did! However, I am well aware of everything they did and all the work they carry out is fully appreciated and has been of great help to me and his principal carer. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review, we really appreciate all feedback received (both positive and negative), to support us to continually improve our services moving into the future. We are really pleased that you are happy with the care your father receives from us, and your...
My dad's home care recently changed to TLC Homecare Ltd. This really hasn't affected my dad as he still receives the same care as he did before and the same 2 lovely carers still call at dad's which helps a lot as dad is blind and knows the two regular carers very well now. Overall very happy with the change and no problems at all.

My carers attend three times a day. Dinner, tea-time and breakfast. They are very efficient and see to my every need. I consider myself very lucky to have such caring persons.

Some staff could do with retraining i.e do not wash pots properly, never dry. After shower, do not clean, dry bath or remove bath mat. In the past, blocked the toilet with wet wipes and toilet roll wrap. In addition, the care timing is not consistent.

We are sorry you have felt unhappy with the service delivered by some members of our team and...
They do their job as best they can, which is not easy sometimes due to long hours and short staff etc. It can be stressful for both parties. Losing one's independence is very hard to accept, so staff may get a bit of abuse occasionally and unintentionally from clients. Staff must expect this and cope with understanding (age factor etc). Excellent works of staff.
We are really pleased that you find the work our staff do is excellent...
At present only a sitting service to allow 'me time' for shopping without worrying. Staff on time, courteous and helpful. Thank you.

She is nearly always on time (within 5 minutes or so) on her days off I'm not quite so pleased as they are sometimes late and they vary as to who comes.

I feel so much better about my mum living at home now that we have carers 4 times a day. Mum has dementia, heart problems and poor mobility. Her carers provide her daily personal care and meals but it's so much more than that. They communicate between each other and with me to ensure continuity and that issues are flagged up (even that a light bulb had gone out). They make her laugh and treat her so well. She looks forward to them coming. I can't thank them enough.

Since Social Services put me in touch with TLC I feel an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders. Getting my wife showered and dressed and applying creams etc. is a relief for me. I really appreciate what the carers do for my wife and me. They have become friends to us.

Meet the Team (1)
I'm Sarah, a care coordinator covering the Cudworth, Town, Darton, Worsbrough, plus any other areas of Barnsley in between.
I never thought of ever getting into care work until the horrible COVID-19 struck, and I couldn't do my previous job. I felt grounded and needed to get out of the house. I then saw a job for home care and thought I'd give that a go! I fell in love with care so much that I gave up my other job and became a team leader, and then, due to hard work, dedication and transferable skills, I became a care coordinator. I joined Choices due to the positive things I had heard and the career progression that is offered. Since starting, I have never looked back and can't wait to see where this journey will take me.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my beautiful little boy and husband.
