Libertas Care looked after my mother for over 5 years until her death, at 101, in October 2017. She was suffering from vascular dementia and had fractured her pelvis, which affected her mobility. Initially, it was one visit per day on 4 days a week to ensure she took her meds and had a hot meal but, as her memory and mobility deteriorated, the visits were increased to domestic care for cleaning the house and daily personal care including help with showering, dressing etc. Finally, there were 3 visits a day.
I found Libertas during an internet search and I knew as soon as I spoke with the manager that they were just what I wanted to care for my fiercely independent mother. She was very difficult in the beginning as she didn't want or need (in her opinion) any help. The local care ladies were all lovely and just quietly won her round so that she finally accepted their help and looked forward their visits!
Living 200 miles away was not easy but Libertas eased the worry with their kindness.
She always looks forward to seeing them.
Their timing is good and if they have been delayed by traffic or a problem with a previous client, they have phoned me to explain.
We really couldn't wish for better service.
Many thanks from all the family.
Eventually, we had to get carers in, but they were unreliable in several aspects of care.
July 2016 Dad suffered a severe stroke that left him with some physical and mental problems and the old carers let us down several times.
In April 2017 we changed to Libertas after reading reviews on this site.
It was with great relief that Libertas took over. They were so professional right from the preliminary interview to every carer that visited. The carers are more like friends to Mum and Dad, but still get all the jobs done. Last month we were at last able to go on holiday for just over two weeks with no worries.
They are so reliable and if they finish their scheduled tasks look around for something else to do.
We could not wish for better carers.
The family are very happy with the service supplied by Libertas Care Ltd. The carers attending are very kind and caring with my wife and are very thorough with all they do for her.
Having a total left shoulder replacement followed by the independent living team for 6 weeks support and recommended further care help. Already had a right total hip replacement and in 2017 finally a total hip replacement and had a horrid post operative experience - ischaemic colitis causing oedema, in hospital for five weeks and since then have had ongoing personal care.
I'm happy with my care place provided by Libertas Care.
I look forward to seeing them, they are very supportive, caring and interested in my welfare. I love a shower feel very safe and am gaining confidence. They help with creaming my back, legs and help with compression stockings, making and changing my bed and washing. Wonderful carers, I am privileged to have this care and support.
Absolutely satisfied with their service.
We count ourselves very lucky to have had Libertas looking after Mum.
I would definitely recommend Libertas Care. They offer a very reliable and efficient service. The have been assisting my mum for a number of years now. We are so pleased to have changed to their care services. We have never had any concerns. All of their carers are kind, friendly and carry out their working giving the client dignity and enabling them to remain happily and comfortably in their won home while giving the clients' family peace of mind that all care needs are met. Independence and remaining in her own home is so important to my mum and this simply wouldn't be achieved without the support of Libertas Care. I am truly grateful to all of the staff at Libertas Care.
Extremely happy with the excellent care Libertas provide. The carers are very adaptable, nothing is too much trouble. Wonderful support for the whole family.
We have found it extremely beneficial since acquiring Libertas Care and all concerned have been truly professional and competent in everything they have done and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
We have been most impressed with the service and quality of care received by our Dad. The carers always arrive promptly and are very professional with their duties. The file contains relevant and appropriate information and is updated on a regular basis, along with a 6 monthly review. The staff are able to identify personal qualities about Dad which is always good to read. The promptness of visit times is important as it is so much better for Dad to get consistency with his visit times as well as being able to establish positive relationships with regular carers. Communications with Libertas are always responded to very promptly and the family are informed immediately if there are any concerns. We are really pleased with Libertas and were on their waiting list before Dad could access care visits. Their commitment to providing first class care seems to be of paramount importance and they have a personal approach with consistent staff which is vital to support and meet Dad's needs.
I've had carers for several days. My husband was told he had terminal cancer on the 3rd of December and left us on the 20th of December. The care he received was truly excellent, nothing too much trouble, always a smile for us and kindness unlimited.
It's so nice to hear my grandad laugh. He laughs and jokes because his wonderful carer's have arrived. Libertas provide an excellent service not only to Pops but to our whole family, mum has managed to get her life back since Libertas arrived last April. Thank you so much Libertas Care you really are outstanding.
My step father-in-law can't praise Libertas Care enough. He is very happy with them, the carers are reliable and arrive at the allotted time which is great as he likes a routine. Nothing is too much trouble. When a call to the office is made the staff are very helpful and obliging. We would recommend them to anyone.
The excellent and flexible care provided by Libertas has enabled my 97 year old father to retain his independence and the family, who do not live locally, feel reassured that his needs are being met. Any difficulties are communicated immediately and any queries dealt with, with tact and sympathy. The carers are well trained and proactive, prepared to fulfill their allotted tasks with dedication, regularly reporting back to their colleagues, and keeping to time without appearing to be in a hurry, using their initiative when needed. They have an understanding of the demands that older people may make and treat my father with patience and good humour. He responds positively and feels that he shares a good rapport with them. I have experienced the management as unfailingly supportive and readily accessible.
As a family, we are delighted with the care that Libertas continues to provide for my father and would recommend the agency to anybody looking for personal care that is exactly that.
Libertas provides a fantastic service to my mum, delivering social and domestic care. As I live abroad, their friendly and helpful staff are an absolute lifesaver for mum and I. They are always available when needed.
For 5 years now mum has been able to fulfill her long term wish, to stay in her own home thanks to the care and support of Libertas. As her needs have increased so has her care and I have benefited from Libertas' suggestions and observations - this is all new to me- they are the experts. Beyond the cheerful and reliable service that is well documented, a relatively small and local company like Libertas really gets to know their clients and families. The difference this makes is priceless. I regularly am at Mum's when her carer calls and am heartened by their understanding and handling of her. No one cares for or loves mum more than I - Libertas, you enable me to maintain my life too. Highly recommended
The carers always arrived on time, were well trained, and always gave us confidence and assurance. The Care Company always advised us if there were any problems and would always endeavour to accommodate our requirements, even at short notice.
A weekly work schedule would be sent at the end of the previous week with the carer's names and time of visits. The daily visits were usually at the same time which helped with organising our day.
I cannot speak highly enough of this Care Company, I got the impression that they 'really cared' for their clients and that the carers were chosen with care and attention to their attitude. I felt that they did their job because they cared and not just for the money.
I have recommended them to several people already.
