Avelo have always been so helpful with offering information about services that could help. Nothing is too much trouble and advice is offered openly and kindly. This is then followed up to check in. Always going above and beyond.

Mum received three weeks of care attendance, twice a week. This enabled my wife and I to get out together for the first time in a very long while. Mum was happy and content with her carer, who made sure that Mum was occupied, and her needs fully met. An excellent service with excellent staff.

Thank you for the excellent review. I will pass on your feedback to Mum's carer. I'm so pleased the whole family were able to benefit from the care provided.

Overall Experience

The care support provided by Charlotte from Avelo has been nothing short of outstanding.

The manager,Julie, is efficient, organised and very personable to deal with and the support for my parents was arranged so efficiently that there were no gaps in the support when it was most needed.

The weekly support visits from C have been an absolute God send for for my parents-meaning that, as a family, we have known that they don't have to worry about doing jobs that they simply can't manage. Everything is completed to a very high standard and equally as important, has been the social aspect-a friendly face visiting their home regularly and genuinely caring to see if they're ok. This has been particularly crucial over the dark days of Winter.

We can't thank Avelo enough and would 100% recommend this professional and compassionate service.

Overall Experience

I can't thank Avelo Care enough for stepping in at such short notice to support my mum following her surgery. From the very start, they were professional, kind, and incredibly reassuring. Knowing my mum was being properly cared for gave me real peace of mind during a very stressful time, and it took a huge weight off my shoulders. The care she received was compassionate and respectful, and it was clear she was in safe and capable hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing reliable, supportive care for a loved one.

Overall Experience

Avelo cared for my aunt from January 2022. On that time they showed themselves to be the most professional and caring team I have experienced. True friends to my aunt, going over and above expectations. Living 300 miles from my aunt, they were un constant communication with me and I never doubted the level of care my aunt was receiving. They were very flexible in attending doctor appointments as my aunt was bed bound. Avelo provided the very best care, love, friendship, humour and support needed during the best and worst times.

Review from David B (Son of Client) published on 20 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Nikki was very informative around the assessment. We learnt a lot of additional services we could apply for and also where to go for financial help. All these things become a reality and it is very difficult to pin down where to go, so having numbers given to us is fantastic. We have actually been using the services for a little while but are now going private, the rates are VERY good for the level of cover that is given. If you are considering AVELO Care I would go right ahead and do it!

Great Service - THANK YOU

Reply from Steph Burton, Commercial Director at Avelo Care

Providing information is a huge part of sourcing care and I'm so pleased we were able to help. Our job is more than just providing care staff to come in. I've passed your great feedback onto Nikki (Care Manager) and we're delighted you've chosen to stay with Avelo privately. Thank you for taking the time to send us your review.

My husband was the nephew of the client, and her next of kin. We lived over 300 miles away. Avelo provided excellent care and peace of mind, They responded to calls and questions at any time of day and night, giving my husband reassurance that his aunt was being looked after and cared for, this is turn gave me peace of mind during a lengthy and stressful time. Avelo Care were above and beyond excellent, and I would recommend them highly.

Review from Graham E (Son of Client) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Just before Christmas my mum was admitted to the hospice due to poor pain management, once this was corrected she stayed with me for several weeks but was desperate to get back to her own home, we introduced mum to Avelo at my house to see how she would get on having carers coming in, all went well so mum could go back home and we had the comfort mum would be monitored to take her medication correctly and she had people observing and taking care of here.
I was as was my mum pleased with the care and support Avelo provided, all the staff were friendly polite and easy to talk to about any subject, I was contacted if they had any concerns and a phone call away if I had any.

Very pleased and happy with all aspects of the care Avelo provided and gratefull for the service to enable my mum to go back home and be independant.

Reply from Steph Burton, Commercial Director at Avelo Care

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review.

Avelo Care have been a lifeline to us looking after our elderly uncle. We are not local, so their visits to our uncle (3 times a day, 7 days a week) gave us peace of mind he was being cared for. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they kept us informed of any issues which may have arisen during their visits. We are extremely very for their support and would highly recommend them.

Reply from Steph Burton, Commercial Director at Avelo Care

Thank you very much for the recommendation and great review. We were delighted to help with your Uncle and I have fond memories of his visits.

I have been overwhelmed by the support and care both my Mum and I have been given by Avelo since 2022. Whilst I was unwell this year my Mum was very poorly too !! Julie immediately put in place excellent care day and night which relieved the pressure from my husband and myself . As my Mum is registered blind Julie also sought the carers that my Mum knew well and she felt confident being with. Everyone that we have met from Avelo are courteous , caring and go an extra step to ensure my Mum's needs are catered for . We are very grateful to Julie and her team

Review from Tina W (Daughter of Client) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Avelo started taking care of dad almost a year ago and from the beginning the emphasis is on 'care'. The staff all really care about dad's needs, helping to maintian his lifestyle with as much dignity, and laughter, as possible. The professional and practical approach they apply is as if they were looking after their own relative.
They got to know dad and his preferences quickly, they respect him, and chat to him as they go about their tasks.They explain what they are doing for him to him and me, and advise me on anything unusual immediately, providing a suggested solution. Their knowledge is of the highest standard, nothing is too much trouble.
I know I can rely on them to care for dad when I am not around with the utmost kindness, making him feel as comfortable as possible and reassuring me along the way. I feel very supported by everyone at Avelo, knowing that my dad is completely safe in their care, something I value very highly.

I would highly recommend them for your loved one.
