Gardiner's Homecare

Mum started having home care three times a week when it became clear that she needed extra help. Gradually this increased to three times a day. The carers were always very kind and although she couldn’t remember their names, she said that they were always nice. They had to try very hard to persuade her to eat sometimes, but they managed it with good humour. She always looked clean and tidy, and the carers also kept the house looking clean. One carer even managed to persuade her to go out in the wheelchair for a walk along the road, she could be quite stubborn at times and didn’t always think she needed the chair! As she had lived on her own for many years it took a lot of persuasion for us to get her to agree to having carers; it certainly provided peace of mind for us. It also meant that she had different people to chat to.

I continue to use Gardiner's, who once again helps me with chores around the house. Would highly recommend their services.

Put simply, Gardiner's Homecare is gold-standard care.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Gardiner's.

They gave us a lot of peace of mind.

Gardiner's looked after my father throughout the last year of his life. Over that period, a small group of regular carers provided the majority of my father's care, with the rest being provided by an only slightly larger group of occasional carers. As a result, my father received care with a very high degree of continuity. The carers were obviously trained to a high standard and provided care in a consistent way, which is important for a dementia sufferer. The most impressive part was that the carers were all so committed to treating my father as a human being, entitled to respect and dignity. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I was in unchartered territory when I made the initial phone call to Gardiner's Homecare but I can't praise their services high enough. The office staff were understanding and supportive and led me through the process of obtaining appropriate care for my mother. As far as the carers were concerned, my elderly mother began to see them as friends and looked forward to their visits. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this provider - in fact, I already have. Thank you

I found their staff and administration, both professional and responsive in supplying an excellent care service.

Although it was only a short period of time that I used Gardiner's Homecare to help with my husband's failing health, I found their staff, administration to carers, both professional and responsive in supplying an excellent care service. Also, their support and care given to me. Thank you so much - I highly recommend your services.

Following my hospital discharge after my hip replacement, I used Gardiner's Homecare to give me support for a period of two weeks, twice daily. The carers who visited me were excellent, always cheerful, respectful and considerate of my needs and I could not have asked for a lovelier caring bunch of people to walk through my door. I had used Gardiner's Homecare some years ago for my late mother so there was never any hesitation that I would use them again and I would recommend them to everyone in need of carers for either themselves or a loved one.

I cannot recommend Gardiner's Homecare highly enough. My mother has dementia and can be very difficult, it took a lot of perseverance, patience and skill to deal with her, but the carers managed to get in the door in the end and she really enjoyed their visits. Communication is excellent as is their support, quickness to deal with everything that arises day to day and were able to up care when things were difficult. I really don't know what I would have done without their support.

Gardiner's Homecare provided twice-a-day calls to my elderly mother to provide support to me as my mother's main carer and to make sure she took her medication. By helping her with personal care twice a day, this enabled me to focus during the day on other responsibilities with my own family and business as well as getting in food and sorting out finances. We asked Gardiner's Homecare to provide help at a time when staff were in short supply. As a result, we had more than the usual number of carers, often stepping in at short notice. Without exception, they were all very professional, kind and supportive, and my mother looked forward to their visits. Communication via their app provided a useful update on each of their visits and access to an ongoing timetable of who would be visiting and when. Thank you, Gardiner's Homecare; I could not have survived without you!

We would like to say a resounding thank you to you all. You are amazing people doing an amazing job - we salute you.

All of the support team in administration and client services were responsive and really supportive and so keen to help and meet our care needs. A First Class Company and Team.

Gardiner's were able to provide my parents with their wish, to remain safely in their home for the remainder of their lives. Their care package started with just 2 visits per week for everyday chores, but were able to provide daily personal care as and when it was deemed necessary. The girls were always cheerful and nothing was too difficult to remedy.

We engaged the services of Gardiners to look after our ailing mother with short daily visits. We were very happy with the staff and the care that they provided and have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I would not hesitate to recommend Gardiner's to anyone who is thinking of setting up care plans for a relative - they are second to none.

Gardiner's was so professional and efficient in supplying a quick and personal care service for my mum and her husband who has dementia. I cannot be more positive about the agency. They were recommended to us and I would have no hesitation recommending them to others.

From the moment I visited Gardiner's office to start talks about my mum's care, to this week when she moved into full-time residential care, we have had nothing but kindness and understanding from the whole team. My mum really enjoyed her daily visits and came to look upon her nurses as friends - particularly her main carer. The support provided enabled her to live independently for much longer than she could have managed alone and the warmth, encouragement and careful observations from her carers were invaluable to us both. I particularly appreciated being able to log in and see how each visit had gone, especially when I had any concerns about Mum. It was really reassuring to know that she was safely tucked up in her flat, all settled for the evening.

Gardiner's provided care for my mum last year and I would like to thank them for their support, reliability and kindness in helping my mum. This enabled her to remain in her own home and gave her extra support and companionship that she needed. The carers were very kind, attentive and provided feedback on each visit, bringing things that needed attention to me that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. So I can't thank Gardiner's enough for their help and the support, including the staff in the back office who provided regular feedback, which is so important when you are not always able to see your loved ones on a regular basis.
