First Point Homecare has been absolutely incredible in caring for my 75-year-old mother. From the very beginning, the carers have shown outstanding professionalism, kindness, and genuine compassion. They don't just provide care - they truly care, always treating my mum with dignity, patience, and warmth.
What truly sets them apart is how they stepped up when it mattered most. While I was in another country, they recognised my mum urgently needed medical attention, helped arrange her hospital admission, and contacted me immediately. Their calm, swift action and clear communication during such a frightening time gave me complete peace of mind.
First Point Homecare doesn't just meet expectations - they exceed them in every way. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I am truly so grateful for this company and level of care!
Jane, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such lovely feedback. All of us really appreciate it, and when we pass your feedback on to the care team it will make their day! Thanks once again!
A key helpful point is that the rota system enables continuity to be maximised. Well done alll
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we all hugely appreciate it. We will also make sure your positive feedback is passed on to our carers, it will make their day! Thank so much, Sharon
The service provided is first class. The carers are attentive and understanding of my mother's needs. They are caring and supportive, an extended family in difficult times. The schedules are agreed to suit my elderly mother's medication and routine.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for us. We appreciate it! Can we also add what a pleasure it is to look after your mother. Thank you
The Manager and Care Coordinator go above and beyond to sort issues as they arise, ensuring the needs of my parents are the priority at all times! They go above and beyond and are contactable at all times, which has made a stressful period easier to navigate for our family. I would highly recommend this care company.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We truly appreciate hearing about the exceptional care provided by our healthcare professionals. Best regards, Firstpoint Homecare
Firstpoint Homecare Harpenden are taking care of both my parents and I have been delighted with the care and service provided. The daily carers are so kind and thoughtful with my parents, I don't know what we'd do without them. The care manager is always very helpful and readily available should I need to speak to her. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We truly appreciate hearing about the exceptional care provided by our healthcare professionals. Best regards, Firstpoint Homecare.
The carers always treat my nan with dignity and respect. She feels very comfortable with all carers. They all have respect when coming into the family home. They always encourage her to do her day-to-day things. The management team are always on hand when needed and communicate with myself as and when required. If any issues occur then I feel comfortable reporting to the senior members of staff, we have had a couple of issues but this has been resolved promptly.
Thank you, Victoria, for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear about the positive experience you and your nan have had with Firstpoint Homecare. It's wonderful to know that they have made her feel comfortable and that they treat her with the dignity and respect she deserves. We truly appreciate your kind words!
Firstpoint Homecare has looked after my mum for a few years now, they are very professional with what care they provide and keep me updated with any issues or concerns they have in regards to my mum.
Thank you taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased to hear you are happy with the care we provide and it is our pleasure to look after your mum.
FirstPoint Home Care. The training and care provided have demonstrated how
proactive and clinically astute the main carer in particular has been when nurse provision has been required. Relationally speaking the carers have shown kindness and compassion to mum and dad. We couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. It is so nice to hear about the positive impact the care we provide has had, and it is an absolute pleasure caring for your Mum.
Firstpoint Homecare have been caring for mum for over 3 years. They provide regular carers who we know know well. They also know mum very well and are aware of her good days and bad days and keep me informed. They are kind, friendly, caring and happy to go the extra mile when required. They are reliable and have never let me down. I don't know what mum and I would do without their support. Highly recommended!
Thank you for leaving a review and expressing such lovely words. We are so thrilled to hear of the positive experience you and your family have had and the relationship you have with the regular carers.
I cannot praise more highly with carers and management care given to my husband. The carers have all been friendly, helpful with what my husband needs. They also have been very professional and made me feel at ease in their conduct. Management have also been extremely helpful and easy to talk to. All in all, could not wish for more from the whole team 100%.
After an extremely bad experience with my previous care provider, it's a pleasure being cared for by Firstpoing Homecare. My carers are very respectful, polite, and forward-thinking, and attention to my needs, They are mostly on time, if for any reason they are running late, the office rings and tells us. A joy in itself this never happened with my previous company caring for me. Everyone at First Point has been more than helpful, any little problem that has arisen has been sorted. I feel very lucky that First Point has come my way.
Generally, all carers are very good and if there is a problem it is dealt with very quickly with the help of management. Also, one of the carers is excellent, she has looked after my mum for quite a few years now. She understands my mum's needs as her dementia changes. She is very good at making sure my mum eats which can be difficult at times.
I am very pleased with our carers they are pleasant and kind to my husband. They tell him what they are going to do to put his mind at rest. Just lately they are coming at different times so it makes it difficult for me to organise his food as I prefer to do it after they have been. Before they leave they ask me if there is anything they can do to help me.
My husband has late-stage vascular dementia, not easy to deal with at times. He is bedbound and totally dependent on the carers and me. He has been receiving care from First Point Home Care for over two years. It hasn't been an easy journey and I am very grateful for the care and kindness he (and I) received from his amazing carers. The management team have been very supportive, always going the extra mile to help us. Thank you to everyone at Firstpoint especially our carers who are always happy and cheerful. I hope if you read this you know who you are! We couldn't do it without you.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. It is so heartwarming to hear of the wonderful support you and your husband receive from our Firstpoint Homecare team. We will make sure the team see this review, best wishes.
Excellent care and support are provided by First Point Home carers and the manager. They ensure they give good personal care and encourage my grandmother to eat and drink - even when this is a challenge (as of late). They remain bright and cheerful and take pride in their work. My grandmother and I really appreciate their, care, concern and support. Thank you.
Thank you so much for a wonderful review. It is great to hear that our carers are bright and cheerful and we look forward to continuing to care for your Grandmother. Best wishes, Firstpoint Homecare

Aimee first joined Firstpoint Homecare after coming off maternity leave after having her second child. She joined as a part-time carer to fit around her children. Over time Aimee took on more hours and more responsibilities and became a senior carer for the Cambridge branch. Aimee went on to study her NVQ levels 2 and 3 and later became a senior carer for Bedford and Cambridge. Cambridge and Bedford was then taken over by the Harpenden branch where she got very much involved and became one of the team in 2018. She has more recently taken on the role of Harpenden in 2022 as Care Coordinator and Trainer.
She has been on many train-the-trainer courses to widen her knowledge and to be able to train new staff. She works closely with the other team members in the Harpenden Branch to ensure the branch runs as smoothly as it can on a daily basis to provide exceptional care to all of our clients. Aimee still manages the small team of fantastic carers in Cambridge which we are hoping to grow in 2024 to widen the area we cover.
Aimee lives in Cambridge with her partner and two boys and in her spare time enjoys spending time with friends and family and going on family holidays.
