Review from Heather W (Daughter of Client) published on 8 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Libertas have been providing my wife's care now for nearly three years. All their carers are extremely kind, caring, patient, cheerful and understanding of her problems.
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.

Review from Christopher P (Son-in-law of Client) published on 23 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my wife's parents moved in with us six years ago, Mum having dementia and Dad could not cope.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
We started with minimal care, but as time went on, we had to ask for more visits per day. The Libertas team were very obliging and helped us through a difficult period. The Staff were very caring, friendly and respectful. They certainly removed a lot of stress from us.

We count ourselves very lucky to have had Libertas looking after Mum.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jennifer G (Daughter of Client) published on 16 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Elizabeth D (Daughter of Client) published on 21 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Linda L (Daughter of Client) published on 14 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

Review from Vera B (Wife of Client) published on 27 July 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband suffered with MND and we used Libertas for care and sitting services for the past two years until my husband's death in May.
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.
