Review from S D (Son of Client) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been using Support at Home for a few years now with varying levels of care and support required for Mum. Initially Mum required a new hip so was not very mobile. Support at Home came and prepared breakfast/evening meal for Mum and did some general tidying up. The carers were cheerful, talked to Mum, had a laugh with Mum and generally looked after her very well. In the last month the care has become a bit more complicated with a catheter involved in the morning and draining it on day visit. The carers have taken on this responsibility and have sometimes had to go beyond when accidents have happened. They have performed these tasks willingly, ably and cheerfully. I know there are a few family members working for the organisation and I feel this makes them all want to do a good job looking after their clients and making the business work well.

Reply from Wayne Beal, Director at Support at Home

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that our team at Support at Home has been able to provide excellent care and support for your mum, especially during more challenging times. We greatly appreciate your recognition of our carers' dedication and willingness to go above...

I have only been with Support at Home for a few weeks and just wanted to say all the carers are lovely, trained well, and come on time to do all the tasks I need. I have had carers for 23-years, and Support at Home is by far the best. They have made me feel so much better.

Review from C M (Friend of Client) published on 11 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Support at Home has been looking after my client (I’m her personal assistant) for just over 12-months now. During this time, my clients need have changed dramatically, but Support at Home have adapted to these changes to ensure my client is getting the best possible service, and all of her needs are met. Each of the carers allocated to my client is very caring and patient. The carers often have to deal with difficult or challenging situations, which they overcome with my clients best interests at the forefront. There is a strong admin team who are always on hand to resolve any problems or issues. I would have no hesitation in recommending Support at Home to potential future clients.

Overall Experience

The carer my mum has been attended has been excellent, and they have formed a close bond. Support at Home has been very proactive since the pandemic and has taken all necessary steps to provide PPE and any other relevant safety measures for carers when attending calls. Any issues we’ve had have been dealt with professionally and resolved quickly.

Review from C P (Daughter of Client) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Because my mum is very vulnerable, I have peace of mind knowing her carer will be there twice a day to assist her with all her needs.
This means my mum can carry on living in her own home independently, which is very important to her and to us, her family.
The last few months have been unprecedented and very difficult I know, for all care companies and staff, there has only been one time that her carer didn’t arrive, and this was quickly addresses when I contacted you.
Mum has had a dedicated carer for some time now and is very happy knowing that the same carer attends most days.
Both mum and I are wary of ‘new’ carers who are unsure of what they need to do as Mum expects them to know about her care plan.
I like the fact that each visit is an hour slot, and we have found that all of Mums carers are really good, kind, very helpful, caring and trustworthy people.

If I have any issues, I know I can ring the office, and they will resolve it. I highly recommend your company.

Overall Experience
Despite a few new faces over the last few months, the care staff complement has always included at least one familiar face for continuity.

All staff have conducted themselves professionally and provide an excellent, caring service. They take an interest in him and always attempt to engage with him whilst involved in their caring duties. I am grateful for their bright, positive approach and hope this will continue as they continue to support me in caring for him.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Client) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From our initial enquiry to putting a care plan in place for Mum, I found Support at Home helpful, professional and open to listen to Mum and the family's needs. Nothing was too much trouble. We were able to meet some of the carers who would look after Mum, all in line with Covid regulations.
Since care began, small tweaks and teething problems to the care plan have been rectified immediately. Support at Home has been responsive to any changes needed.
We have electronic access to Mum's care plan, and carers notes are provided with mum's rota of carers the week before; so that we know who is due to visit Mum the following week.

I would certainly recommend Support At Home, special recognition to one lady for her help and support.
