Our 4 year old daughter receives excellent care from her carers from Ask Care. The carers are very kind and attentive to our daughter's needs. The administrators and management are very helpful in coordinating our daughter's care and respond to our queries promptly.

I am pleased with all my regular carers provided by Ask Care Ltd. as they all understand my son. I have had no issues with the management and would like to say that they have provided cover in emergency/last minute on numerous occasions when my private carer has had an emergency and was unable to attend.
Special
thanks to two carers in particular.

I am writing this testimonial in praise of my Carer, who has been supporting me for the past two years.
Throughout this time, she has shown outstanding commitment and consistency. She arrives every day without fail and carries out all of her duties with care and professionalism. She listens closely
to what I need, follows my requests, and ensures that everything is done properly and respectfully.
What makes her truly special is her personal touch. When I'm feeling low or need someone to talk to, she is always willing to have a kind conversation. She never rushes and always makes time to make sure I feel supported, both physically and emotionally.
She is not only reliable and capable, but also genuinely caring. I am grateful for everything she does, and I feel lucky to have her as my Carer. I truly believe she is an excellent example of what a Carer should be.

Thank you for the compliment to service, we strive for client satisfaction and providing service to your mother for several years is a testament to that. It is always a pleasure being able to cater for your mum's needs, where she is happy and content.

My family and I would like to thank ASK Care Ltd, and a very special thank you to the member of staff who looked after our Father for over 4 years until he passed away, December 2022. She helped to make his last years of life extremely pleasant and comfortable, we could never thank her enough. The patience
she showed towards our Father, understanding and care given was exceptional. Nothing was too much, she is a credit to the team. Thanks again ASK Care Ltd.

In short a shambolic back office team with unprofessional care coordinators who do not listen to the family members but instead appear to intimidate the family members. Absent and unresponsive leadership/management who appear to take no interest in the well-being/care/concerns of the user and their
family and consistently failing to respond to issues raised and complaints made. In recent months this agency has failed to positively engage with the user's family and will often make decisions on its own without consulting the family, some of which were potentially put at risk/harmful to the user.
This agency used to be good and has good carers however they and the user are being let down by a shambolic back office and poor management and therefore I would not presently recommend it to others.

Reply from Sareena Sanger-Siera, Director at ASK Care Ltd - Ilford

Thank you Z H for taking the time to write about our company.
Despite being a provider to your family member for over ten years where there have been very little to no issues, it has only just now become apparent to you that we have failed to take any interest in your parents well being / care. For nearly ten years we have strived to provide the best possible care and have always worked closely with the family to ensure the client has maximum choice in their care. It is a shame that only now when you have been involved with the care needs, that you feel this way. We have always been content with dealing with your other family members and all issues if any were always resolved.
Consistency has always been the key to the successful upkeep of this care package, if management was so poor the long term sustainability of the package would not have survived. Management went to the extent that for a period of extra need, the agency provided additional support without payment!

Excellent service, price range was very accommodating and the facility was exceptional. Thank you very much to all the carers and those who spoke a variety of languages. Helped with everything (washing clothes, picking up medicine) really helped me so much. Communication was very good as I was aware
if there any problems and they kept me up to date with everything. No faults at all!

They are professional and give good support to my mother. The carers are pleasant, friendly, flexible and knowledgeable, always willing to help. The office staff are friendly in all departments and will always help with any problem if it is possible. I would recommend this company. I feel very confident
in their care they give my mother.

It can't be easy relying on carers for many of your needs, and yet my mother and father have nothing but praise for the team from ASK. They have become friends and confidantes as much as providers of pills and physical assistance. Far from being strangers in the family home, my parents value them enormously
for making life as comfortable and reassuring and 'normal' as it can possibly be.
Building that trust has nothing to do with box-ticking. Relationships like these aren't based on professional training, as important as that might be. They're about human beings understanding, liking and wanting to help other human beings at a different and difficult stage in their lives. It's about giving a damn.
That's why I will always be grateful we found ASK. Collectively and individually, they give a damn. I've no doubt they are a tonic for my parents as well as the necessary support. And because of that, because I know I can rely on them at all times, they are also a huge tonic for me.

ASK Care have been providing care to my parents for some years now and throughout that time they have always provided first-class service.
The carers, they use really do care. When I see them with my parents, it's very clear that they seem to have a true vocation and enjoy their jobs.
As my parents
have fortunately had the same core carers throughout. I have seen the relationships grow so both my mum and dad trust the carers and we (the whole family) do too.

I was recommended this care provider after some frustrating experiences with other agencies. I have two adult sons, one has cerebral palsy and is a wheelchair user and the other has Asperger's. The standard of carer that this agency provides is outstanding. All the carers I was supplied with were intelligent
and caring. They showed real affection towards my sons and went the extra mile to help them or entertain them. They had common sense, were chatty and friendly and totally professional at all times. Very importantly, they were always punctual! Also, very good value! Fantastic! And my sons loved all the carers and missed them when they left!
