All carers are professional, friendly, reliable and helpful. They listen to what is required, offer suggestions and provide encouragement. We would highly recommend Above & Beyond to care for those close to you.

Overall Experience

Overall, I am very pleased with the level of care given to my father. My only one criticism would be that younger members of staff could receive better training, as they don't always know what to do.

Reply from Alison Liffen, Office Manager at Above & Beyond Care Ltd - Ipswich

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're very pleased to hear that you're happy with the level of care your father is receiving. We also appreciate your constructive comment regarding the younger members of our team. Please be assured that all staff, regardless of age or experience, receive the same...

Review from Neil G (Son of Client) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Very reliable, responsive and caring staff looked after my dad in his old age to help him remain independent and stay at home (and stay out of a care home) until he passed away. Nothing was too much trouble.
Reasonable charges.

Highly recommended

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Above and Beyond Care. The daily care my dad receives is the best. All the carers are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble for this company. They have helped my dad remain in his own home and have provided first class care to him. They adapt to suit his changing needs as they arise. I feel throughly supported just knowing that he has someone going and chatting to him, making his meals and providing personal care as well as supporting him emotionally too. I appreciate that while my dads needs are being thoroughly met, the team also keep me fully informed too. Both the carers and the office staff are excellent and extremely well organised. I definitely recommend this company.

The manager and two staff members are the most caring people I have known.
We have a good laugh sometimes, they know how to pick me up when I’m down.

The care I receive is first class. The careers are all lovely people, I highly recommend anyone who needs care to come to Above & Beyond Care, it’s the best thing I’ve done, I’ve been with them for three years they have made me feel at ease, they are very polite.

Review from C O (Relative of Client) published on 12 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the initial assessment through to the care being implemented we had an excellent service. The Quality Assurance Manager was professional and very understanding of our situation and worked with us to introduce carers to my mother-in-law who were respectful of her needs and wishes and paid attention to the small things that mattered to her. As it is a small family-run firm, communication was easy and efficient. Response to queries and feedback on care was excellent.

When I started using this agency approx 3 years ago, the standard of care was excellent, with good carers but as of late, the carers have often been late and the standard of care has deteriorated, possibly due to lack of good carers.

Review from Ann B (Client / Service User) published on 4 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has advanced fronto-temporal dementia and we have been receiving care for her from Above and Beyond Care for 3 years. During that time she has gone through many stages of her dementia and the volume of care has had to be adjusted from time to time. I have found that Above and Beyond Care always copes with this situation admirably. Very recently we had a mini crisis where even more care had to be found without warning. Despite Above and Beyond Care having Staff with holidays, and some off sick, they went out of their way to provide my daughter with the Care she needed and no loss was incurred because of their efforts. In an unpredictable situation like this, I can say that Above and Beyond Care have always pulled out all the stops and coped with her needs. I wholeheartedly recommend them for the care needs of any dependent and ill client who needs loving care. Apart from physical needs the Caring Staff put a smile on her face and she has been happy with them from Day One.

Alison Job Title: Director/Manager Joined: 2011
Alison

I’ve been working in domiciliary care for over 25 years, starting as a carer. It is a true privilege to support people in their own homes. Along the way, I’ve earned a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management and became an NVQ assessor and a registered trainer in Basic Life Support as well as Moving and Handling. I’m passionate about empowering others, whether it’s through high-quality care or hands-on training. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with our growing family, keeping fit with aqua classes and watching a good TV series.

Jess Liffen-Thompson Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2012
Jess Liffen-Thompson

I began my career in domiciliary care after leaving college, having completed my Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. Since then, I’ve built a strong foundation of experience and knowledge within the care sector. I am now trained up to Level 5 in Leadership and Management, which has further developed my ability to lead teams and support high-quality care delivery.

Over the years, I’ve taken on a variety of challenges—at one point even jumping out of an aeroplane for charity! These days, life is a little more grounded as I focus on raising my young children while continuing to grow both personally and professionally within the care industry.

Abbie Liffen Job Title: Quality Assurance Manager Joined: 2013
Abbie Liffen

Hi, I'm Abbie.

I'm the youngest daughter—also known as daughter number two. I've been working in the care sector since 2013. During that time, I've gained experience in domiciliary care, within a hospital setting and as a youth worker. I have completed various training courses, including Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Health and Social Care, as well as a Level 5 Leadership and Management qualification in Health and Social Care.

In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit and exploring new country walks with my Yorkshire Terrier, Oli, and my rescue dog, Mario.
