i employed this company too come too me and my mums home, every morning, 7 days a week, to get mum up, get her washed or showerd and dressed. To change her bed, then make her breakfast, crumpets and a cup of tea. and also put any of mums clothes that need washing? in the Washer!! This started off
on when i employed them in November 2024. fast forward too this year? i found out i was being charged, 30minutes every morning? wich the sunderland city council, said, cost £125 pound a week? Wich was a massive shock? But also? these carers were only hear,, 5 minutes to 10minutes maximum, since it started!! but charging me for 30 minutes a day. Ive complaind and also cancelled this service 3 times recently. but totaly ignoring me and still sending somone on a morning. unberlievible. finally i also told them that one of there employees, was bard from coming ever again, because of her attitude and agression. yet this morning, this person arrived? ridiculous.

Reply from Marie Goudie, Manager at Westhome Care Services Ltd

Dear Paul, we appreciate your concern and are disappointed by your review. Your mum's care has and always will be entirely important to us and although you did ask to cancel her care, unfortunately we have to liaise with the local authority, and they advised to continue to send care staff to attend to your mums personal care. The Council set your fees and will be the persons you need to contact about your queries on cost not us. We have currently decreased your mum's care as requested by yourself, but we are still attending to your mum's personal care. All care staff log times in and out of calls and log all activities, these have been checked and all match up to the care plan and correct times. You also turned away our care staff and sent them away early on many occasions. We have found it very difficult to communicate with yourself regarding any concerns.We regret that you have overlooked our efforts and commitment to providing your mum with safe and consistent care.

I moved to Westhome from my previous Care company in May 2024 to date. I've been with 5 different Care companies over the past 10yrs I've needed Care & Westhome are definitely the best by far.
I love the fact they are a team, the office staff & Carers all work together. Everyone I have had any dealings
within the company have gone out of their way to help me & make things easy for me. My coordinator is a 'Godsend'!! & has a great understanding of my complex health issues making sure every Carer coming in is aware of my needs. My main Carer is my 'Angel in a uniform', helping my do what I can for myself to keep me active & independent but also doing for me what I can't no longer do. She definitely puts the 'Care' into 'Carer'!!!..When I ring the office there's always a friendly voice that listens to what I say & going out of their way to support & help me. They're a very caring compassionate company that support me fully during the loss of my husband last year Many thanks to all of you.
