Overall Experience

We have been working with Carefound for a year now. It feels as though family and carers are one team supporting Dad to live in his own home and be independent for as long as possible, as this is what he wants. If it wasn't for Carefound and their caring, patient carers, Dad would not have been able to live on his own for this length of time. I can happily recommend Carefound to anyone who is trying to support and vulnerable person to live in their home. A big thank you to everyone at Carefound.

Reply from Danielle Shippam, Central Support Team at Carefound Home Care (Harrogate)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are incredibly grateful for the trust you have placed in us to support your dad in living independently in his own home. It's heartening to hear that our team, along with your family, has formed a strong partnership in caring for your dad and enabling him to maintain his independence, which is so important to him.

Overall Experience
My father used Carefound Harrogate for 16 months when a trip to the hospital and subsequent operation and illness meant his needs changed dramatically. The office team were caring, compassionate, reliable and supportive during a very difficult period with our care requirements changing what felt like daily, whilst we navigated Dad's discharge from the hospital and recovery from illness until we once again reached the balance we needed. Communication was excellent, I was listened to and heard by the office team who worked wonders to put people in place.
The carers themselves, both Dad's regular faces and every single new face (always introduced), were brilliant. They treated Dad with kindness and respect and worked with him to achieve the things that were important to him as well as fulfilling everything we needed to be done to ensure Dad was comfortable.

The whole team are fabulous - highly recommended. Thank you Carefound Harrogate - keep up the high standards and wonderful people!

Review from Yolande B (Daughter of Client) published on 16 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are delighted with the service that Carefound Home Care (Harrogate) provides. The care, communication, organisation and attention to detail are truly impressive. The ladies are all kind, caring, helpful, interested, genuine, respectful and very friendly. They have really helped to restore my father's well-being. As he can no longer go for a walk every day, he misses chatting to people and so he loves to talk to whichever lady comes in to get him ready for the day.
Things that really stand out: the professionalism of the ladies, the genuine interest they take in their client, their health and well-being, the time they take to chat at the end of the hour, the personal introduction by the manager when a new carer starts, the rota being sent out for the following week.

My mother was adamant she did not want carers but she would be the first to say how wonderful they all are and what a huge difference it has made. Our whole family (all seven of us) are so relieved to have Carefound!

Review from Clive M (Son of Client) published on 12 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having had no previous experience of care providers, my sister and I were extremely anxious when first considering a care package for our mother. Mum is extremely independent, there was no doubt that she wanted to remain in her own home but it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to cope alone given her dementia. We need not have been concerned as the Carefound Home Care team were sensitive and empathetic to our needs from the start. This made the whole process easy. They have provided a level of care that is perfect for Mum's current requirements. We are thankful that the carers that visit Mum on a daily basis are the same regular smiling faces. The care and companionship provided by her carers have been exemplary. As our mother's condition deteriorates, we are confident of Carefound's ability to provide additional support to her and to us. We couldn't recommend Carefound highly enough.

Review from Ron D (Husband of Client) published on 10 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Following a lengthy period of ill health - my wife has struggled with Alzheimer's dementia for the past ten years - I finally agreed with well-meaning family, friends and medics that committing to home care should make life a good bit easier for both of us.
That said, I still found the prospect of inviting 'strangers' into the house to help my wife with a miscellany of personal services rather daunting.
Having sought advice from dementia support advisers and others in a similar position to ourselves, I then carefully considered which of the numerous local home care providers looked best placed to meet our needs. Research complete, Carefound Home Care topped the list and, from my first toe-in-water phone call, cake-munching meeting with the care manager and introductions to my wife's two carers, we knew we'd found a perfect fit.

The care plan works well, the service provided can't be faulted and, happily, my wife looks forward to regular visits from her two, new, very best friends.

Overall Experience
Carefound Home Care was recommended to me by a colleague and I am so grateful. My father had recently died and I had a long-planned trip to Australia coming up and needed care for my mother in my absence. From the moment Carefound came to do the initial assessment, I knew it was a good fit. They are friendly, empathetic and extremely conscientious. My mother liked them immediately and this has continued with all of the carers that have visited her.

I would not hesitate to recommend them, they have been a great addition to our lives and have certainly enriched my mother’s life with their visits.

Overall Experience

I approached Carefound Home Care in January to find out what services they could provide to my 93-year-old father who lives on his own and whose health has gradually deteriorated since Christmas. He does not currently need a lot of personal care but he does need some help with light domestic duties and has found the companionship from the carers invaluable. It has also given me peace of mind as I live some distance away from my dad. I have been very impressed by all of the contact that I have had with everyone at Carefound when making initial enquiries, arranging a meeting with my father and speaking to carers on the phone when they are visiting my dad. I have access to my dad's care records via an app on my phone so I can see what the carers are doing during each visit. I have found everyone to be very helpful, kind, caring and extremely competent.

Review from Rachel T (Daughter of Client) published on 3 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have had 24 hour, live in carers from Carefound since July 2019 for my parents, when my father was unable to continue caring for my mum who has dementia. Their abiding wish was to continue living at home until the end, my father died in September 2021. and it’s fair to say. that they were a challenging care package with physical/medical and dementia aspects to deal with, plus the end of life care. I did my research before engaging Carefound, I was concerned that no company would be willing to take on such a complex case, however Carefound rose to the challenge and we settled with two lovely carers doing a rota of 2 week live in shifts back to back. My parents were in a nursing home for a few months prior to getting Carefound involved, and mine and my parents experience of that convinced us that live in care at home would be the best option. Indeed they would never have had such attentive and one to one care as they experienced from Carefound. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Review from Kate L (Daughter of Client) published on 24 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been using Carefound Home Care for several months now. My father has quite advanced Alzheimer’s and my mother has terminal cancer.
Carefound are predominantly employed to take my father out for his coffee/cake and some exercise to give Mum a chance to rest during her treatment. The girls that come are so kind and patient and are really helpful. They help Mum with some jobs she can’t manage and always find time to chat with her which she really appreciates as Dad is pretty non-verbal now.
When Mum was offered some palliative chemo at very short notice, the staff at Carefound managed to swap things around and supply a live-in carer for us which was a lifesaver.

Everyone we have met to date has been very warm and kind and I would highly recommend them to anyone who finds they need some help for a loved one.

Without exception, all staff who come to provide care are well trained, responsive and very efficient and professional. They not only give personal care for my husband but advise and support me as well. The administration of the scheme works very well for us. This means less stress for me which I really welcome in caring for my husband with advanced dementia. This is very stressful and the staff are a wonderful support to me enabling me to care for my husband for longer at home.

Carla Hainsworth
Carla Hainsworth Job Title: Registered Branch Manager Joined: 2012

I joined Carefound in 2012 as a Home Carer with no prior professional care experience, although I had supported elderly family members. In 2013, I won the Great British Care Awards for Yorkshire and Humberside in the Newcomer to Care category and went on to win the National Newcomer to Care award in 2014.

Following this, I progressed to a Senior Carer role after completing my Level 2 qualification in Health and Social Care and began working towards my Level 3 qualification. In 2017, I advanced to the role of Care Coordinator and subsequently became a Care Manager. I later undertook my Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care, which I completed in 2021. That same year, I was highly commended at the Yorkshire and Humberside Great British Care Awards for Care Assessor of the Year.

I progressed to Deputy Branch Manager at the end of 2021 and was appointed as Registered Branch Manager in 2023, overseeing the Harrogate Branch.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking and competing with my horse. Recently, I won the Show Cob of the Year 2024 at the Horse of the Year Show.

Laura Hill
Laura Hill Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2021

I joined Carefound in 2021 after working as a Dental Nurse at an NHS practice for 11 years. I began my journey with Carefound as an hourly Carer, progressed to a Senior Carer a year later, and became a Care Manager in January 2023. I am currently working towards completing my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.

I thoroughly enjoy my role as a Care Manager, as no two days are ever the same. I value building relationships with clients, their loved ones, and other healthcare professionals, as I believe we can learn so much from one another.

When I am not at work, you'll likely find me outdoors with my children and two rescue dogs, exploring the local area

Danielle Ferebee
Danielle Ferebee Job Title: Recruitment & Community Manager Joined: 2022

I have been with Carefound for just over two years, initially starting as an hourly carer before progressing to my current role as Recruitment & Community Manager. I work with a fantastic team, and I thoroughly enjoy my job. It offers a lot of variety, with many different aspects to the role—from meeting new people during the recruitment process to organising coffee mornings and events.

I am very family-oriented and come from a large family, so when I'm not working, I spend my time with them, catching up with friends, and taking my 18-month-old Labrador, Charlie, out and about. I also support my partner in his various hobbies, with rallying being the biggest one.
