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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a lovely review, we are glad we have been able to assist providing information and support accessing wider care services. I have shared your lovely words with the care team and managers involved. We look forward to helping more clients and their families, that were in the same position as your extended family, in our local community.
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.
Everything fine. Carers always on time, never book let down. Good service.
We are so pleased that you are happy with the service provided and your ongoing feedback. Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. which I have shared with your wife's care team.
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it has been shared with the staff named. We are so pleased the support provided has made such a difference and we're proud of the amazing efforts of #TeamAvelo to achieve outstanding care.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. We are delighted we were able to support both you and Mum and take off some of the pressure. I will share this with the team. We wish you both well for the future
Carers are very helpful and I enjoy their company.
Thank you so much for submitting your great feedback and your follow up call with our Care Manager. It is great to hear what a fantastic job the team are doing and we will share this review with them. I'm so pleased the staff have been able to help you in multiple ways and engaged in good...
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.
Thank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. Your Aunt was very well thought of across the whole team and is greatly missed. We realise the amount of trust and responsibility you placed in us, not only from her needs and being bed bound, but also being so far away. We are...
Avelo Care looked after my elderly mother for last three months, and I cannot thank them enough. The staff were amazing, kind, compassionate and so supportive throughout. The office team were also excellent, always helpful and quick, to communicate.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review and your lovely feedback. We will share this with Mum's care team and pass on your thanks for the amazing support they provided.
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
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.
Thank you so much for taking time to write us a review. We are so pleased we were able to support the whole family, and from a distance too. Your Aunt in law was well thought of amongst the team and now very much missed. We'll still play a bit of Shirley and line dance in her memory. I'll share your lovely comments with the team.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. Always very proud of the team for helping a client to achieve their goal - regaining independence at home is a great outcome to achieve and I'll share your wonderful feedback with Mum's care team. Wishing you both well for the future and happy times for Mum in the comfort of her own home.
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.
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. To have a client transition from being reluctant having carers in, to laughing, joking and become accepting of the support offered is a huge credit to his...
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
Thank you so much for the fantastic review. Supporting the client and family is something we pride ourselves here at Avelo and I'm glad that you are all able to benefit from the support. We're very lucky to have such an experienced Registered Manager in Julie and it's one of the reasons she and...
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.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, it's fantastic to hear the support is working well for both you and Dad. This is everything we aim for at Avelo and I will share this excellent feedback with Dad's team. We work hard to continually train staff and develop our services as we understand the...
Really pleased we found Avelo Care for my mum. It's been a great experience right from the first contact with the management team. They are very thorough as are the day to day assistants. They are extremely caring and are providing an excellent thoughtful service.
Thank you for taking the time to write us such a fantastic review, it's great to hear the effort that goes into working with each individual results in such lovely feedback. We are very proud of the team and thorough, caring and thoughtful are great qualities to be recognised - I will congratulate and share this with the rest of the team.
Excellent!
Thank you so much for the excellent review! Glad to hear the team are doing an excellent job.... I'll let them know.
It's nice to have somewhere to go on the outings. I really liked the Christmas panto. They help me with the cleaning and keep my home nice, even though they are working, we still have a chat.
I'm so pleased you've enjoyed the outings - they have proved to be very popular and I'm already looking forward to this years plans. Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review and you can help me share this with the team on our next trip!
Since appointing Avelo Care to undertake my mother's care needs a few months ago, they have been excellent. The standard of care provided has been exceptional. All the cares are punctual and professional whilst being super friendly, and the office team are also brilliant. Highly recommend this lovely company.
Thank you for the recommendations too; trusting a new provider after a bad experience...
The care from Avelo have been outstanding, supporting me at a hospital appointment. The carer stayed with me. reassured me and explained everything to me when I didn't understand the doctors. I had to be moved, she followed me in her care and stayed with me until 4 am and made sure I was ok. They are my lifeline and all I have. They look after me very well.
We are so proud that our team will go above and beyond to provide outstanding care for all of our clients and even in the most difficult times, they will always step up. By working with other professionals we can help you get you the best possible treatment and for your voice to be heard and...
Avelo Care excellent.
