My Dad has mixed dementure and lives in his own home. The care and support he has everyday is compassionate, responsive and communicative both with Dad and also with me and my sisters. The team are kind and 'can do' in response to ironing out problems that Dads condition cause at times. They work with him and us to resolve things so that he can continue living safely and securely in his own home. The fact that Dads care is integrated, kind, and really understands him and his needs and character is apprecaied by him. He often refers to his 'carer ladies' and has a formed a sense of real confidence in his main carer. Her care, understanding and humour along, with her skill as a professional, are incredibly valuable to him - and to me as his daughter.
We are so pleased to have found Universal Carers. Mum receives the best care & attention for her needs. The carers & management are always willing to update/review what care Mum needs and we would be lost without their valuable help keeping Mum in her own home

I have been very impressed with the care of my wife. She has advanced Alzheimer's dementia, which is not always easy to deal with, but all the carers treat her with kindness, and are patient with her when necessary. They are also friendly and supportive to me, which makes life better for me, as it can be stressful looking after someone with advanced dementia. I would also like to mention the office staff, who are always very helpful if I have any queries.
Thank you Brian for your kind words, I will be sure to pass onto the team. It is a privilege to support and care for your wife, and to make your life that little bit easier.

What can I say but a Hugh thank you to Sam and her staff, my uncle is very frail , quite old and stubborn. All the carers are really good with him, Sam and Yukka have especially been brilliant, so very kind very patient and just brilliant in the way they treat Norman. Norman looks at these two as friends and looks forward to seeing them. All the carers have made Norman want to carry on living, he's not so depressed and lonely now. He's in hospital at the moment and all he says to be I want to go home and have his carers back especially Sam and yukka. People don't realise how kindness, friendship from carers can make a massive difference to old frail man but it has. Also it given me time to enjoy my uncle company and not having to worry about him so much. Thank you to you all.
Many thanks,

The care team at universal care have provided my mum with exemplary care! They treat her like a best friend and are loving and caring and always listening to what she needs and wants (be it a snack for lunch or an extra cake leaving after dinner). I can honestly say my mum is thriving under the care of the team, she eats well and they have even managed to get her in the shower - we have had struggles with people helping her with her personal hygiene in the past and this is great to see. The house is always left spotless when they leave and they make sure it is always very secure and my mum is happy before they leave. The care team help has meant my mum is now able to stay at home, this was her one wish when we discussed her health issues and she has thrived under the health teams care in doing so.
We are absolutely delighted to hear that your mum is thriving and feeling so well cared for. Our team always strives to provide care that is not only professional but also personal, ensuring every individual feels valued, comfortable, and...
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review!We are absolutely delighted to hear that your mum is thriving and feeling so well cared for. Our team always strives to provide care that is not only professional but also personal, ensuring every individual feels valued, comfortable, and happy in their own home.
It's lovely to know that the little touches - from listening to her preferences to making sure the home is spotless and secure - have made such a positive difference. Helping your mum maintain her independence and stay at home, just as she wished, is exactly what we aim for, and we're thrilled to have achieved that together.
Your kind words mean so much to the team and will be shared with them - they will be over the moon to know their efforts are appreciated. Thank you again for trusting us with your mum's care.
Without my care package I would be unable to get to places that my carer takes me and this allows me more freedom.

It means that I know that there are 'eyes on' Mum at least 3 times per day (she has a morning carer too + also Meals on Wheels) & that someone will contact me. The office staff have also been helpful too if things go wrong.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that our evening visits bring comfort and reassurance to both you and your mum. Knowing we're making a difference in her daily routine-and that you feel supported too-means everything to us!
Universal carers are very friendly. The care company is easy to contact with any queries.

Providing care for vulnerable individuals is a very delicate matter. This type of work requires a lot empathy, humanity and patience. Fortunately, the people working at this company, both those in the office and those providing care, have demonstrated that they possess these qualities. I am especially thankful to those who have really made the effort to understand my mother's needs and showed her kindness.
Thank you for your heartfelt review. It's incredibly meaningful to hear that our team's empathy and dedication have made a positive impact. Supporting your mother with kindness and understanding is a privilege, and we're grateful for your recognition.

My care has been consistently good for a long time now and I have no complaints. Carers have been arriving as per my rota and are all both friendly and professional. I appreciate having the same few regular carers who provide consistent care whereby we all know each other and what needs to be done.
