Very happy with the care my mother in law receives from Guardian Angel Carers. The carers are always very friendly and well trained, they call ahead if they are running late but are mostly on time. The office team are very friendly and helpful.
Brilliant service overall.

Review from L C (Daughter of Client) published on 6 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have an unusual package as I also care for my father as well as having a live-in carer when I am not here.
The live-in carer is excellent and professional and genuinely cares for dad.
The day carers covering dad's personal care when I live in, generally they are good, but some need more prompting
than others. May be the care plan needs more detail.
The office staff are polite and helpful but there needs to be more communication between them and the carers. Not getting rotas or notified of changes to rota.

Overall the level of actual care is good. The office people are not always obliging in responding to calls re times of arrival and changes in the rota.
Reply from Vikki Craig-Vickers, Head Of Operations at Guardian Angel Carers - Chichester

Mavis,


Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services. I am personally looking into making sure all clients are informed of any changes to their planned rota. Please do get in touch with me if this continues to be a problem.


Thank You for your continued support in Guardian Angel Carers.

Since employing Guardian Angel Carers in April, we have been very pleased with our main carer. She is always on time, polite and extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. She is a pleasure to know and we look forward to her visits. Cover, when she was away on holiday was a bit unpredictable
but we coped.
Reply from Vikki Craig-Vickers, Head Of Operations at Guardian Angel Carers - Chichester

Thank you so much for your kind words and we will be sure to make sure the carers are informed of your gratitude.


Thank you,

I am very happy with the care I receive and my carers are very kind and chat away about current and local things which are happening and often having a good laugh. One thing which would be helpful from the staff is if they could let me know if there is a change of carer coming, who it is and what time
to expect them.

I had a belated hip replacement at the beginning of July and the Guardian Angel Carers - Chichester came 3x to help me shower and put my TED socks on. They were always punctual and pleasant. If they have time, they will always ask If there is anything else they can do to help which is very useful.

Review from Steve R (Father of Client) published on 24 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Guardian Angel has been providing our son with 24-hour care in his home. The carers are well trained and look after him with understanding and empathy as well as with high professional standards. The office responds to our queries in a kind and thoughtful manner, although they are sometimes a bit slow
in returning phone calls.
Reply from Christina Bassadone, Managing Director at Guardian Angel Carers - Chichester

Dear Steve, Many thanks for your valued feedback. I am sorry you feel our office is sometimes a bit slow in returning phone calls. We would never want you to feel that your enquiry or attention from us was not important. Due to being in a people business we experience times of peaks and troughs in work flow, often linked to times of high sickness both in clients and staff. I will be reviewing our in-house processes to ensure that all members of our team are well trained to answer all client queries, so that you are not left waiting for a response from another member of the team. Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Christina

Review from Maureen N (Client) published on 1 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Never had the need for any help as I have always been determined to cope for myself! I had always been under the impression that the cost for all the help and assistance would be very expensive and living on my own would not be happy to ask anyone for financial help, only in extreme occasions/circumstances.
I can only say the help is excellent, and worthwhile adjusting finances! I can recommend it!

I feel very fortunate to have been put in touch with Guardian Angels.
Caring for my parents without Guardian Angels would not have been possible in their own home and I am very grateful and my whole experience with Guardian Angels has been very reassuring.
