My mother-in-law has been using Churchfields Home Care for over 12 months and we have been very happy with the care and staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the ladies who visit and they always ask if there is anything else that might be required for them to do before leaving.

Churchfields looked after my dad for several years and were absolutely amazing. Now my mum needs care we automatically called Churchfields as they were so good with my dad we wouldn’t consider any other care company. The staff in the office when you ring are so friendly and helpful and once they had
been out on a home visit to assess Mum's needs we had carers in place within two days. All the carers that come out are so lovely and we are so pleased with everything. I cannot praise Churchfields highly enough, they are fantastic.

My dad is so pleased with his care provider. The care workers are always respectful and kind. Without the support he receives Dad would not be able to live alone in his own home. So we are very grateful and fortunate to have a provider that genuinely care for his well-being.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Experience with sloppy work. Dishes not dried fully. The cutlery was not dried properly. Always seem in a rush. Not listening properly and taking direction. Moaning and complaining about the weather and their own personal problems. When it's about 2, or 3 people every day, and you're not feeling well
yourself it gets very hard to deal with. Some do not use their own initiative. I have to try and remember everything that needs doing, otherwise, it would not get done. When you are constantly in pain it is hard to remember what needs doing. Some don't just offer to help, I have to ask, which some seem not to like. For most, it's just a job and not a vocation.

I am so sorry you feel this way and you have had a negative experience. We don't have any formal complaints made by you regarding the review comments, Thank you for taking the time to speak with me.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been using Churchfields since March 2023 after a period of hospitalisation. I have met many members of the support team and all treat the individual with care, respect and an awareness of the client's needs. They respond to tasks in a sensibly practical way and, over a period of time, the carer/client
relationship becomes one of mutual respect, where human concern is the dominant feature. I have valued their friendliness, professionalism, care and support.

It's been a pleasure to welcome the care workers to my home. They've all been very helpful, some helping with the washing machine or doing the ironing. Sometimes, they take me shopping. I'd recommend them to anyone. Yours sincerely. (Age ninety years old).

I am happy and satisfied with the quick and efficient way the lovely girls do my cleaning for the week. They are quick, careful and cheerful. I can then relax, potter around doing things I can still do, or go for a walk and not worry about having a dirty house.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been having twice weekly shower assistance since April 18th and this has been going well, if she has a more mature lady call. She isn’t happy if 'a young girl' comes. On Tuesday 22nd August and Tuesday 29th August, she had a social visit after her personal care visit and this was a total
success. She loves to be taken out in the car and perhaps visit the shops. On Saturday 2nd September she got confused and was expecting to be taken out again, so was dressed ready and didn’t require a shower. There are a couple of ladies that she has particularly bonded to. She says one carer does exactly what she’s asked to do. I am very pleased with the care package at the moment and the only thing I would ask, if at all possible, is if a social visit could be twice weekly instead of once, as Mum gets very excited at the idea of being taken out.

The Churchfields Home Care staff have been excellent. They are very helpful and cheerful. They have always been willing to provide whatever care is needed, from cleaning to helping to fit hearing aids. Their help has been much appreciated, especially as both of us have been quite unwell over the last
couple of months.

  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
