Gardiner's Homecare

All three carers that attended to my wife over a period of two weeks were very professional and she felt very comfortable with each one. They went out of their way to be helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

I wish there was a Gardiner's carer for everyone in need of care and support.

It is not often these days that one can find a provider of any service, banking, local authority services, power suppliers etc., etc., that reaches the consistently high standards met by everyone connected with Gardiner's Reading. I recommend them to anyone seeking care at home.

An excellent, professional, reliable, caring service that I can highly recommend. This is the second time I have used Gardiner's services in the last couple of years and I really cannot fault them. All the staff (both Admin and the Carers) are so kind and helpful.

My father in law suddenly came to live with us due to ill health. After looking into care agencies we came across Gardiner's Nursing & Homecare. From the start, the care and compassion shown was amazing and just what we needed at the time. They arranged carer effortlessly and quickly reassuring me that the carers were suitable for a family home with children. The carers were so professional and understanding and knew what needed to be done before being asked! Excellent service!!!

I needed only minimal help mainly for the emptying of a commode which I needed to use for a time. The carers were excellent, very helpful, cheerful, kind and efficient.

My husband received care from Gardiner's Nursing & Homecare in only the last few days of his life. I was very reluctant to relinquish his care to others but was persuaded by the medical professionals involved to "get things in place" for a worsening situation. The Gardiner's team were there immediately when they were asked for and I cannot praise them highly enough, they were kindly, efficient and professional and my husband felt completely at ease with them. I am so very grateful for the care and support they gave us both.

Gardiner's dedicated staff has looked after my Dad during the final year of his life, which allowed him to live his final days in his own home as he always wanted. He always spoke highly of the tender loving care and the laughs he had with the dedicated care team who looked after him. This was a great comfort for us then, and remain a source of great comfort now.

The thought that went into the care package has reduced anxiety and increased confidence for a young adult with complex needs. The calls are never rushed and are always prompt.

From the initial visit to arrange through to all visits by carers and admin staff, I have been impressed by the professional and friendly approach to myself and my wife (Alzheimers). At no time has there been any reason to consider any changes other than a possible reduction to the present daily visits.

Every single member of staff involved showed compassion and sensitivity. As a family, we are truly grateful for the service that Gardiner's provided. We know that Dad was treated with dignity and understanding. This was a great comfort to us then and continues to comfort us now. Gardiner's were exceptional.

I could not rate them more highly, they were fantastic in every way. Thank you for a job well done!

The quality, dedication and support provided by your team over the last 5 years has been tremendous. From the early days, through to more recent times, we could not have asked for a more professional and caring team.

Gardiner's is a caring family run community of amazing people. Relationships with their clients are based on empathy, respect and dignity. They give holistic care and take the time to understand an individual's health and social needs. They listen to you and are committed to their clients. I felt happy and relaxed knowing they were caring for my mother whilst I was at work and I visited their amazing app during the day to read how my mother was doing. This fantastic app made me feel involved as well. FIVE STAR CARE.

An excellent service kind and caring staff.

When they left my wife was always in a better frame of mind and looking forward to the next visit. An excellent provider of carers and organisers at every level. Thank you and keep up your excellent work.

The care and friendship the carers involved have given to my husband and I was so much appreciated. My husband has Alzheimer's/mobility problems and it was taken care of with care and complete understanding. Always on time and if there was a problem due to traffic or expected to be late, I always got a call to explain the delay. When it became necessary for him to go into full-time care due to medical needs, we felt it was like losing friends.

The carers are always punctual, friendly and helpful. From experience, they knew how to deal with problems and had plenty of good, helpful advice. They were a great comfort during a stressful time.

Gardiner's Nursing & Homecare team looked after our mum 24/7 when she became terminally ill. They were professional, kind and caring. They treated my mum as a person, not an invalid and fitted in well into her home. They also made it easier for us all in a very difficult situation.

As a family, we were struggling to cope as my mother's illness began to get worse. We contacted Gardiner's and a care manager came out to see us the next day to discuss our requirements. A care package was in place the following morning. A number of carers attended my mother. They were all excellently trained, always compassionate making her feel safe, secure and comfortable. Sometimes providing extra care (cover) at very short notice. Their help was invaluable during a very difficult time. I cannot rate their service highly enough.
