The Homecare People provided support for my mother-in-law (MIL) for over 18 months when she needed help due to her level of dementia. She initially needed a few hours each day, increasing as her dementia worsened. The experience of their staff is enhanced by additional training which is essential for people caring for clients with dementia. The carers who spent time with my MIL recognised her decline and acted accordingly by encouraging her when she was capable of completing tasks, assisting when she wasn't, giving her choices, etc. They kept her house in good order, documented any expenditure, ensured the house was secure when they left, took her to medical appointments when asked and reported on any concerns so the family could deal with these. Daily visit reports were provided online. Carers of particular note are: Gina who built a great relationship with my MIL; Sarah whose practicality was invaluable; the management team, including Hayley who provided cover when needed.
Thank you for such a detailed response, its nice to get comments not just about the team but the work behind them and we will pass on your kind words to the team, they do love to get fully involved with the care of our clients
It was really reassuring to know we would be contacted if the carers had any concerns about mum.
We would highly recommend Homecare to anyone needing it.
Thank you for your feedback, it is so encouraging when we hear our team are helping in the way we always wish to deliver, a mix of primarily supporting our client and importantly helping support the family, much appreciated
We turned to Homecare to provide this care, and for several years this company diligently and efficiently sent full time live-in carers to cover all required care duties, which became increasingly demanding as the disease progressed, obviously.
One particular individual carer, as selected by, and then engaged through, Homecare, proved to give exceptional dedicated care, and this person certainly improved the quality of life of my late partner in her final years.
Support from Homecare management was also excellent throughout, and they were always on hand to answer any questions which occasionally arose.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this care company for all one's care related needs.
Our team are very dedicated and we hope it always shows, many thanks for your kind words
We were so pleased to have found the homecare people who had been recommended to us; the staff are absolutely amazing, especially Hayley. They are kind and caring and do a fabulous job. Spencer sorted out all the logistics for us when we had to go from daily visits to live in carer for both my parents. They were amazing
delighted you are happy, especially following a recommendation, many thanks
The carers are kind, patient and genuinely engaging, helping my mother feel at ease while encouraging her with activities suited to her interests. The service is well organised, with clear communication and thorough visit updates.
I would confidently recommend The Homecare People to others looking for reliable, compassionate care at home.
we are delighted you and your Mum are happy, many thanks for this response
She managed to get my father to do task that I could not get him to do.
Like getting into the bath to be showered. She was so enthusiastic, energetic with everything she did.
My father has Alzheimer's and is quite stubborn. She also looks after a lady next door who is over 100 and has been looking after her for quite sometime. So this was an easy decision to make.
The staff from this agency are extremely professional.
I wish I could name all those involved.
Unfortunately my father has now gone to a home after an illness. I would have loved to continue with this agency. But unfortunately the medical team said this would not be good for him.
I would highly recommend this company it takes so much pressure of myself and family members.
We are delighted we were able to help your dad, its often much easier for a carer to help and especially when we find ones that truly love what they do, Thank you for your reply it is much appreciated
Request were acted on quickly and any issues, ,resolved just as quick.
The staff were friendly, attentive, chatty and got to know and respond to mums wants and needs very quickly.
Our team love what they do and this reflects in the care they bring, thank you for your comments
The service provided is excellent. Initially we started with just a few hours per week, they ensured consistent familiar carers, this has increased to 4 times daily with a group of lovely, friendly ladies who come in to brighten mums day, carry out housework, short walks out and any other helpful jobs needed. The management team are excellent, easily contactable and deal with any changes or emergencies efficiently and quickly. My mum was initially reluctant to have carers in to help however she loves them coming in and enjoys their help and friendly, fun conversations.
We are delighted your mum is enjoying our team and thank you for your kind words
The Homecare People provide an excellent service that is far superior to the standard care agencies provided by social services. The carers are smartly dressed, friendly and cater for the clients' needs in a professional way. They also quickly adapt to changing circumstances without any fuss, with the management team overseeing the transitions.
I am very pleased with the service your company has given my husband. The ladies come once a week to give a bath and hair wash, which I am not able to do. They are caring, cheerful and very professional and I love them coming here. My husband is also very happy for them to help him. Thank you.
Thank you, we are delighted you are happy with our services.
The Homecare People were recommended to me five years ago when my husband was taken ill and became bedbound at home. For 3 years with 2 carers 3 times a day they regularly and kindly attended to my husband. When he died in 2022 I kept them on for me with one carer 3 times a week. I have subsequently undergone two knee replacement operations and during my convalescence (the second spell of which is now current) I have one carer 3 times a day. I cannot speak highly enough of their skill, knowledge and reliability as well as the friendly and respectful way in which they carry out their tasks.
Thank you and it's so much easier when we have a lovely client.
Extremely kind and caring team. Very professional to cater to individual needs with the utmost respect. My father has gone from reluctant to calm and enjoys his daily banters.
Thank you for your lovely review - our team always try to bring a smile to their client's day! I look forward to sharing your kind words with our team.
I am writing this review to express just how impressed I am with the care and respect my father has been shown by his carer. She has met his needs, whether it is to ensure he has fluids near him or contacting his surgery when there has been a clinical need, always keeping me up to date. He could not have had a kinder, more caring person.
Thank you for submitting a review and for your kind words about our care team - I'll be sure to share this with them.
The Homecare People began looking after my mother a number of years ago to relieve the pressure on my father. They also kept an eye on him too. After my mother passed away, some of the girls came to the funeral. They then looked after my father, and as they knew my mother was a great comfort to him. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The girls were always professional, treating my parents with care and compassion. Any concern was passed on to the family. I have complete confidence in The Homecare People and thoroughly recommend them. We found them to be invaluable.
Thank you for submitting such a lovely review. Our care team will be extremely touched by your kind words - I'll be sure to share the review with them.
The Homecare People have provided a high standard of care for both my parents for several years. They are very approachable, helpful and understanding at what can be very difficult times. The standard of care provided is excellent and they take time to understand their client. I have been very satisfied with the service received - both in the care provided and with the management and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you for providing a review for The Homecare People, our team will be delighted to read your review and to receive your feedback.
They have all been brilliant, always there when I need them. They have been very flexible in changing the care I need. It is so helpful to have someone explain what is needed and why, then they just get on with it. I know my time is limited and I am so grateful for the lovely carers and support. Thank you.
Thank you for your review - the team will be touched by your kind words which I will pass onto them.
My mum was cared for by The Homecare people for several years before she passed away. All the staff were professional, reliable and very caring. My mum was severely disabled and needed a lot of help and attention. The carers carried out all tasks to a high standard whilst preserving her dignity. She had four visits a day, which she looked forward to. This enabled her to remain living at home. The office staff were also very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Our family will be forever grateful to The Homecare people and I would recommend them to anyone.
Julie, thank you so much for your lovely words, which are very much appreciated - our care team will be extremely touched to read your review - I'll be sure to share it with them.
I am very satisfied with the care I have been receiving since 2018 and find the carers very friendly and helpful. In view of the difficult circumstances, due to covid, the company has coped extremely well and continued to supply good care throughout. I feel we should all be more appreciative of the people prepared to be our carers.
Thank you so much for submitting a review for The Homecare People, it's very much appreciated and the care team will be delighted to read your comments.
The attending carers are always punctual, very polite and caring with the best interests of the client in mind and make the patient feel relaxed. We find the service very good and like that the carers engage with the rest of the family on each visit to the house. No hesitation in recommending The Homecare People after our experiences.
My 92-year-old mother has a live-in carer who is attentive, kind and helpful. They have formed a good bond and Mum is being well looked after. We have been impressed with the Homecare company and found the Care Manager to be really supportive, helpful and understanding. Always quick to answer calls and sorting out any queries efficiently and promptly. Mum is getting excellent quality of care at home. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Spencer had an early career in recruitment, soon managing a number of branches, set up his own business and then found care was in his blood. Since then he has been Registered Manager of a Domiciliary care business in Basingstoke with a care team of 96. He then joined a large charity as Registered Operations Manager responsible for 3 care homes, 3 Domiciliary offices, a day care centre and respite unit.
Spencer brings significant expertise to our business and enjoys managing teams, working with clients and the CQC and compliance aspects! >Spencer’s role will see him meet all our clients and working with the team to ensure the highest levels of care are provided. As our manager, he will be responsible for all care decisions.

Our MD has over 35 years’ experience running a variety of healthcare businesses and recently ran a large Care home group and worked with a leading-edge technology for the management of dementia. It was this experience that gave Graham a passion to be involved in providing even better care for those who need support and help to stay at home. Graham’s ideas are also checked and supported by his mum who at 86 has a really valid viewpoint on the subject! Graham is also a Member of the Berkshire Care Association Board and works to support other care providers in the area.

Sarah looks after our Finance and HR. Sarah has worked in the healthcare sector for over 16 years and during this time has set up services for delivery of medication to patients at home. In addition, like many of us, she has recently had personal experience in helping her own family to find care and so comes with fresh ideas on the realities of care provision and a passion to see things improve.

Hayley joined us in 2019 and has 16 years of care experience. Hayley has worked with most of our clients, and many will know her from her creative costumes and for adding fun to the day
She is also there to support the team and training needs, and she works on our scheduling to be sure we always get there on time
Hayley will continue to add to her qualifications, and for many new clients, Hayley will be there to get everything started
When Spencer isn’t available, Hayley is ready to help.
