Flexicare is a very good company. Dad has had their care for 3 years now and we have had no issues at all. Highly recommend this company. Both the carers and admin are very reliable and easy to discuss any concerns.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.
We are delighted to hear that your dad has been receiving care from Flexicare at Home for the past three years and that you have consistently had a positive experience with our service. It is especially rewarding to know...
The staff were so caring and the company genuinely cared and were very professional.
They came highly recommended to us and we have recommended them to others since.
There was a set team of carers for Mum so she had the same people on s regular basis which was very important to us all especially Mum.
We can't praise the staff highly enough , mum was treated with so much care, respect and dignity
Thank you for your heartfelt review and for sharing your experience with Flexicare at Home.
We are truly honoured that we were able to support your mum and your family during such an important and difficult time. It means so much to hear that our team provided the care, compassion,...
When I knew that I had to search for a care provider I didn't know where to start as I'd never had to do this before. After doing alot of research and reading reviews I opted for Flexicare at Home. Every carer that comes to do personnel care for my Dad are amazing. They're caring, curtious, professional, supportive and kind. The office management team are also caring and supportive and will always keep in touch to make sure that everything's going ok and that we're happy with the service, which we are. I can trust this company 100% and would highly recommend them.
We understand that finding the right care provider can feel overwhelming, especially when it's a new experience, so we are delighted to hear that your research led you to us and...
Independence. We have been particularly grateful this month as she has had a few medical issues which needed sorting . The carers help, assistance and communication has been invaluable .
We are delighted to hear that your mother is happy with the care and support she receives. Maintaining independence is so important, and it is wonderful to know that our carers have been able to provide the encouragement, support, and reassurance that...
Flexicare have looked after our friend since January 2026 after he was released from a 2 week stay in hospital. One of the conditions of his discharge was that due to ongoing issues (mild dementia), he either went into a care home or had carers coming in to his home. We chose Flexicare after a paramedic who attended when he was admitted into hospital recommended Flexicare as she had personal experience of the company and highly recommended them. From day 1 Flexicare have been like a breath of fresh air. The carers are lovely and he has really accepted them after years of refusing help. They dispense his meds ( which are now kept in a locked box), do his cleaning, washing and ironing. Flexicare have taken a massive load off my shoulders. My husband and I have been loooking after our friend for 15 years, and we can now spend time with our grandchildren, and even go on holiday in the knowledge that he is safe and looked after. We are so grateful for their help.
We are incredibly grateful for the trust you have placed in us to support your friend. Knowing that he has welcomed our carers into his home and accepted the support he needs is especially rewarding, and we are delighted...
He can be very tricky some days,but we are always kept upto date on his care. And if we need to call the office,they are always happy to help,and nothing is a problem.
The carers are really lovely, and dad seems to have really taken to them all. Our previous care company weren't anything like these ladies. They have so much support,and nothing is an issue. They talk to him in a certain way,which is hard when they have Dementia . But he's doing well.
Dad recently had a fall,and we were told straight away. The carer did everything she could,and went above and beyond to support him.
The company are so good,ive recommend them to few of my friends who need carers for family members. Nothing is a problem. They will help whenever possible.
We are very grateful .
We understand how important it is to provide not only high-quality care, but also reassurance and communication for families, so we are...
Staff and carers willing to please and accommodate any requests. Carers are caring, efficient and friendly.
I appreciate the weekly rota that informs me of the carers and times allotted- most useful.
I have no hesitation in recommending Flexicare at Home.
It means a great deal to know that our carers and office team have been able to provide support that is caring, efficient, and responsive...
Dad, has benefitted hugely from Flexicare since coming home from hospital ealrier this year. The staff are friendly, patient and supportive and he looks forward to their visits and enjoys his conversations with the different carers on a daily basis. For the family they provide reliable, professional and responsive support to addtional requests and any health concerns, which means we have the confidence that he is well cared for when we can not be there.
It means a great deal to know that he enjoys the visits and conversations with the team,...
We have the pleasure of using Flexicare at home care for a number of years.The complex services this year and past years are of an excellent standard we require for my Sons physical and mental requirements.
Thank you for your continued trust and support over the years. We are delighted to hear that the care and complex support provided has continued to meet your son's physical and mental health needs to such a high standard. Our team is committed to delivering compassionate, person-centred care, and...
The staff provide an excellent level of care. The carers are friendly and engaging whilst remaining professional. The carers are dedicated to the caring role and at times go that extra mile.
The difference the support has made to mum's quality of life has been extremely valuable.
I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and recommendation. We are so pleased to hear that the support provided has made such a positive difference to your mum's quality of life. Our team takes great pride in delivering compassionate, professional care and it means so much to know their dedication and willingness to go the extra mile has been recognised. We truly appreciate your kind words and support.
Flexicare has never let us down in the six years of care provided. All the staff we have encountered have been professional, caring and kind and they have all made a real effort to engage with their client. We could not have been happier with the care provided.
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust over the past six years. It means a great deal to us to hear that our team has provided professional, caring and compassionate support throughout. Building meaningful relationships with the people we care for is at the heart of what we do,...
FLEXICARE are an amazing family and team of carers. 100% supportive. Would thoroughly recommend their services. I cannot praise them enough. A5 star service. Thank you.
We are delighted to hear how happy and comfortable your mum is with her carers. Building trusting relationships, companionship, and providing genuine support are such important...
Mum absolutely loves the service she is getting from Flexicare. The ladies that come are all fabulous. Mum is very at ease and when I'm there at the same time I can always hear laughter coming from the bedroom or bathroom. It gives our family great confidence and comfort that mum is being looked after very well. I would definitely recommend this service.
We are delighted to hear how happy and comfortable your mum is with the care and support she receives. Knowing that the carers bring not only reassurance and support, but also laughter and...
I have nothing but praise & thanks for this excellent, outstanding care provider, which extends from the management team & office staff to all the carers. Flexicare at Home have provided care for my mum for several years now. They are a very professional, flexible & responsive care company who have always listened and acknowledged any concerns I may have about Mum who has mixed dementia and mobility problems. On more than one occasion when Mum has been very unwell and required extra care whether a 2nd carer or additional visits they have always met Mum's care needs. Mum loves the carers who visit who often go over and above which means the family can trust that Mum is receiving the best possible care. It is notable that the carers receive training to a high standard which is reflected in the care provided & the regular audits & most importantly Mum's approval. Communication is excellent and I recommend Flexicare at home to anyone looking for one of the best care providers in the area.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful feedback-it really does mean a great deal to all of us.
It has been a privilege to support your mum over the years, and we're so pleased to hear how happy she is with her carers. Knowing that she feels comfortable, well...
Despite her complex care package, the team consistently went above and beyond to support her. Their dedication, consistency, and genuine care stood out every day.
They not only provided exceptional care for my mum but also gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time.
I will truly miss the carers who became such an important part of our lives. I would highly recommend Flexicare to anyone needing reliable and compassionate support.
Thank you to Ann and the entire team. I am forever grateful for your kindness and care.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words-they truly mean more than we can say. We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your mum, and do miss her dearly.
It was an absolute privilege to support her over the past eight years. She was such a special lady, and it meant a great deal to all of us to...
My son has been with Flexicare ever since his care started well over 15 years ago after they were recommended to us and we have never felt the need to look elsewhere. What started out as care for a few hours a day for 5 days a week has now become a 7 day care and companionship package. When it comes to the care side of the package the staff have always been well trained, caring and attentive to my sons needs. The companionship received is tuned to my sons wishes and at times will challenge him to come out of his comfort zone which is needed to help cope with his anxiety issues.. I have always found everyone in this organisation to be fully tuned into my my sons requirements and my wishes from the top to the bottom of this company.
It means a great deal to us to have supported your son over such a long period of time, and we're truly grateful for the trust you've placed in Flexicare over the years. Seeing his care evolve from a few hours a day to a full weekly...
I cannot recommend Flexicare highly enough. I changed care companies to Flexicare in January 2026 for my mother and so glad I did. The carers are absolutely amazing with my Mum. I cannot praise them all enough and I am so grateful they are looking after her. They treat her with such respect, care and love and I am blown away with the quality of care. I have just had a holiday and in addition to the 4 visits a day, I implemented overnight care. This was the 1st holiday in 2 years that I could relax and know Mum was safe and cared for. The carers that attend Mum are consistent which is so important due to her having dementia and she has become very close to them and looks forward to their visits. The communication from the office is second to none and I am informed of any concerns immediately. I appreciate everything Flexicare have done and can only describe them as exceptional.
It truly means a great deal to all of us to hear how happy you are with the care your mum is receiving. Our team work very hard to provide compassionate, respectful, and person-centred support, so it's wonderful to know this has made such a...
Well-trained & conscientious staff means that Mum looks forward to her visits as she enjoys their company. Regular care package assessments and reviews have meant that Mum has had the best care available with no interruption.
There is always someone we can speak to about any issues that may crop up, and when they do, they are listened to & acted upon immediately.
All in all, it's very easy to recommend Flexicare!
5* Company with a 5* Service.
We feel privileged to have been part of your mum's journey over the years, and it's wonderful to hear how much she enjoys the visits and the company of our team. Knowing that she feels comfortable,...
Mum enjoys the activities her carers do with her (like jigsaws and baking) and whilst she struggles to remember who everyone is, she is always pleased to see them.
Thank you all for bringing so caring.
We're so pleased that she enjoys the time spent together, and I know the carers genuinely enjoy her company too - moments like jigsaws and baking...
I cannot express how highly I rate Flexicare. The care team were amazing. There was nothing they would not do for my wife and me in her final days. .Often my wife would refuse my help with medication or personal care but every member of staff had the knack of knowing exactly how to cajole her into cooperating and even get a cheeky response. If an extra carer was needed, they would be there in a few minutes. I cannot thank the whole team enough. I would recommend Flexicare to anyone.
It was a privilege to support both your wife and yourself during such an important and emotional time. Your wife was a joy to care for, and it was clear to us all how much love and dedication...

Meet the Team (9)
Hello, I am Kevin.
I am passionate about ensuring people receive the highest quality care and support. As Managing Director, I oversee the day-to-day running of the business while also leading on the development of new opportunities and strategic partnerships. My focus is on creating more holistic, person-centred care packages that truly meet the needs of those we support.
I am committed to continually improving individuals’ well-being and peace of mind by broadening access to services and developing new ventures that complement the care we provide in people’s own homes. A key priority for me is creating more community-based opportunities that enhance quality of life and help reduce loneliness.
I studied Business Management at the University of Leeds and hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People’s Services.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family and friends, as well as swimming, travelling, and supporting Leeds United.
Hello, I am Ann.
I have been involved in social care from a young age, volunteering across a variety of settings since my teenage years. This early experience inspired me to make a significant career change, leaving behind a successful 29-year career in business and IT management to pursue a new path in health and social care.
To support this transition, I completed a Psychology Honours degree along with postgraduate studies at the University of Leeds, and I also hold a Level 7 Diploma in Management & Leadership in Health & Social Care and Children and Young People’s Services.
I am passionate about delivering holistic care, with a strong focus on emotional and psychological well-being alongside physical health, and I have a keen interest in the use of assisted technologies. Supporting families and loved ones who act as primary carers is also very important to me.
My research interests include approaches to maintaining emotional well-being, dementia care, and nutrition in later life.
I strongly believe in promoting self-development within the workforce and am committed to supporting learning and training opportunities for all staff.
I have been married since 1978 and have two sons and three grandchildren. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking, reading, and visiting my extended family in Ireland.
Hello, I am Kim.
After university, I began my career in IT, working my way up to Technical Director at a successful software house over a period of 10 years. I then went on to work as an independent consultant for a major global bank for over 15 years, gaining a wide range of experience while always focusing on delivering a high level of service.
As Flexicare at Home grew, I joined the business in 2012 as Finance and IT Director to support the company in these areas. Today, I continue to be involved on a part-time basis, looking after the financial side of the business and helping to ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Being part of a family-run business is something I value greatly, and I take pride in supporting the team to ensure we can continue delivering reliable, high-quality care to the people we serve.
Outside of work, I enjoy daily walks around Mirfield as well as spending time on the golf course.
Hello, I’m Lindsey.
I began my career in childcare as a nursery nurse and went on to qualify as a SENCO, developing a strong foundation in supporting children with additional needs. I later moved into a home care role, providing specialist support for children with complex clinical needs in their own homes. Through my commitment and experience, I progressed into management and became a Registered Manager, overseeing 32 children’s care packages.
Following the sale of that business, I moved into adult services as a Registered Manager for a domiciliary care provider covering Leeds and Barnsley. In this role, I managed two offices and continued to build on my leadership skills, drawing on my experience across both children’s and adult community care settings.
This journey naturally led me to my current role as Operations Manager at Flexicare at Home, where I’m passionate about delivering high-quality, safe, and truly person-centred care.
I hold a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Leadership and Management, a Level 4 qualification in Safeguarding, as well as childcare and SENCO qualifications, all of which underpin my approach to delivering effective and compassionate care.
Outside of work, I’m married with two sons, and together with my husband, we run a busy household that also includes two dogs and two cats. I really value my downtime with family, spending time outdoors, walking, mountain biking with the kids, and enjoying football. Sundays, especially, are all about football, where you’ll often find me on the sidelines cheering on my son.
Hello, I’m Michelle, and I have been providing compassionate, attentive care to my clients since 2019 after completing an intense Access to Higher Education Diploma for Healthcare Professionals. Building trusting relationships is at the heart of everything I do, and I take great pride in offering a warm, supportive approach while helping to enhance the well-being of those I care for.
I’ve been fortunate to grow with the Flexicare team over the years, starting as a Care Assistant, progressing to Community Team Leader, and now working as one of the Care Coordinators. It’s been a rewarding journey, and one that reflects my passion for delivering high-quality care.
In my current role, I support the smooth running of the service through care coordination, rota management, and assisting with HR functions. I enjoy being able to support both our clients and our team, and I always aim to approach my work with care, attention to detail, and understanding.
I’m proud to be part of a team that truly values both its clients and its staff.
Hi! I’m Eleanor. I’m originally from Leeds and have recently returned to the UK after a few years living in Australia. I love to travel and am always dreaming about my next adventure.
Professionally, I’ve built my career supporting people with complex mental health needs, alongside experience in disability and aged care. I’ve also worked in residential childcare, which really shaped my approach to person-centred support and working with a wide range of individual needs. Earlier in my career, I worked in sales, which helped me develop strong communication skills and a real passion for building meaningful relationships.
I hold a degree in Counselling and Mental Health, as well as a Level 5 qualification in Management, Coaching and Mentoring. Most recently, I worked as a Service Coordinator in Australia, leading service delivery for 60 clients with disabilities, substance misuse challenges, and complex mental health needs.
I was really drawn to Flexicare at Home not only because of its ethos—it genuinely feels like a diamond in the social care world—but also because of the varied nature of the role. I work alongside the other Care Coordinators, taking turns to support care management, HR, and rota management. Gaining experience across all three areas allows me to fully appreciate everything that goes into providing a high-quality, premium service.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at a yoga class, listening to music, or making plans with friends. I’m naturally outgoing, love meeting new people, and always enjoy a good laugh.
Hello, I am Gemma and have been with Flexicare at Home since 2012. I feel very proud to be part of such a supportive team. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive lovely feedback from both clients and their families, often mentioning how my positive, sunny personality helps brighten their day.
I genuinely love working at Flexicare at Home, where I feel valued and supported, with a great work-life balance and pay that keeps pace with the real cost of living. I usually work the early shift, but I’m always happy to help cover late shifts when colleagues are on holiday, so our clients continue to see familiar faces they know and trust.
Being a team player is really important to me, and I enjoy working alongside such a dedicated and caring group of people.
Hello, I am Lisa.
Those who know me will know I have a great sense of humour, along with a compassionate and caring nature. I take pride in doing things properly and always aim to deliver the best possible care.
I’m a strong team player who enjoys supporting colleagues and helping to ensure continuity of care for our clients. I am very supportive of our community carers, management, clients and their families, and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role.
I’m also known for being flexible with my rota, working both early and late shifts, and I’m always happy to step in to help cover when needed.
No matter what’s going on in life, I try to bring a smile to my work and support those around me.
Hello, I am Sally and have been with Flexicare at Home since 2014. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive such lovely feedback from my clients and their families, often mentioning my ability to bring joy into their daily lives.
I like to think I bring a positive energy to my work—I’m rarely without a smile, and I’m known for having a bit of an infectious laugh! I truly enjoy building strong relationships, and I feel very grateful to be so well supported by both my clients and colleagues.
Being part of the care profession is something I take great pride in, and I feel lucky to do a job that means so much to me.
