Telephone conversation with charter care today, very helpful regarding my mom who's been in hospital for sometime and hope once she's a little better to resume the care package with this company as she has always received the best and most compassionate care without any problems, keep doing what
you are doing well done.

My elderly father returned home after 13 weeks in the QE Birmingham. He's very frail and bed bound(age 91). Since returning home the care he's received has been exceptional.His carers go above and beyond their required remit. He's doubly incontinent and they show him compassion, and empathy whilst still
allowing him to retain his dignity. I would like to mention his main carer who provides support for all his needs ably assisted by 4 members of staff in particular and others whose names I don't have. I live in Scotland and myself and my wife feel assured and relieved that my father is being looked after by such caring people. Thank you to you all.

Charter Care have done a fantastic job of looking after my mum for the last 12 months until she moved. One staff member was particularly pleased to go the extra mile for my mum with shower and hair washing and my mum loved their visits. When we had to cancel visits at short notice it was never any problem
and I throughly recommend them.
Thank you to all the staff at Charter Care.

Charter Care have been looking after my mom's care needs in the home for over 12 months.
During this time, both the care staff and the management team could not have been more helpful and attentive to mom's needs.
They have been professional, supportive, flexible in their approach to mom's needs/circumstances
and supportive and helpful to us as a family.
They have been responsive to our requests as mom's needs have changed and always done their best to meet any additional needs as they materialised/altered.
Their care has provided us with peace of mind that mom was being look after with care, compassion and professionalism in her own home.
They have a difficult/challenging job and I can not recommend them highly enough.

My complaint is not about the carers, most of them are great, only a few let them down. My complaint is about management. I have complained about eight times in the last twelve months and never have I been contacted to sort it out. I phoned twice just before Christmas, once to say I was thinking of
canceling the contract and a week later I phoned again to say I was going to cancel the contract. All I got from the person in the office was, you are not satisfied with us then, so I left it for two weeks into the new year and still got no reply, so I did cancel the contract. Adult social services contacted me to say that Charter Care did not know about the cancellation, so this is the problem with management. No communication, hence only two stars because of bad management. This could have been avoided with one phone call as my wife was used to the two carers that came regular, as she has dementia, it is not certain that she will take to new carers. I feel let down by this company.

Reply from Lisa Edwards, Registered Manager at Charter Care - Caring for You

Thank you for your review, I'm sorry you feel let down with management, I believe the service your wife received was consistent with regular carers being sent and her needs being met. As you are aware carers are entitled to annual leave and days off so the same 2 carers cannot ever be guaranteed. I have checked our complaints register and cannot see a complaint was made. We would have welcomed you to use our complaints procedure that is kept in your home file. Again I am sorry you have felt the need to leave this review as I believe your wife was looked after well by all staff at Charter Care. Good Luck with your new agency.

I am pleased with the care provided for my mother. It ensures that her medication is taken at the correct time and meals are prepared for her. I have observed patience and kindness and it gives her human contact and opportunity to talk. Staff have contacted me if any worries or mom agitated. The team
have collected medicines and phoned the GP if they have concerns. It is helpful to be able to see notes from each visit and to be able to message the team with information or any concerns. The only other observation I would make is that on occasions the visits are shorter than the prescribed 30 mins but there may be reasons for this.

Initial visit to assess needs of my wife left us assured we had chosen the right care company. The carers we have had so far have been on time, they have been very caring and met my wife's needs. I would have no doubt recommending Charter Care.

The carers from Charter Care were brilliant with my mother-in-law. Especially in her last months. They were patient, supportive, and always had a chat. They cared for her every need as if her own family. In my mother in laws words "they were sent by the angels".

I cannot rate your care group enough, they go above and beyond every visit. We are kept well informed all of the time. The review asked for a month but since you started caring for my nan in April, you've been amazing. I thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart. My nan sees you all as
her family which is just so heartwarming.

We have been using Charter Care services for a few years and can honestly say they are one of the best caring services available in the Sandwell region. The staff are reliable treat their patience with care and go beyond their duty to ensure everything is ok and right for the person they are visiting.
I have also found the management approachable and good listeners.
I would have no reservations and highly recommend their services.
A very well done Charter Care, thanks a million for all your great care and attention, very much appreciated.
Best regards.

My husband has been having a carer for just over a month now to help him to get dressed and washed in the morning and they have all been very kind and helpful each time. He generally has 3 carers coming in and he is getting along very well with them all but he does have difficulty with remembering their
names I must admit. Otherwise, I am very happy to see them it gives me a break even though it is sort of.

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
