It is so refreshing to deal with a care agency that provides exactly what they describe on their website and during the initial assessment. The entire team work extremely well together.
Thank you Essential Health, for giving our family peace of mind.
It is a pleasure and an honour to support your beloved wife.
The excellent working together approach supported by yourself has enhanced the support we provide your wife.
Our ethos is We support, You lead and this has been the case.

We are extremely happy with the care service provided by Essential Health. My mother in law suffers with dementia and is unable to care for herself. As we live some distance away, it was vital to find a provider we could fully trust to support her daily needs, which includes - meal preparation, support with personal hygiene and administrating her medication.
My mother in law quickly established a strong positive relationships with all of her carers and every interaction we have had with them has always been very reassuring and professional.
We also receive regular feedback after each visit which gives us great peace of mind knowing she is safe, well supported, and cared for with compassion. We would highly recommend Essential Health.
It is so nice to read how our services effect the family of a loved one and how it can be so reassuring to you.

All carers have given my wife 100% care as of her wishes to date.
David,This is so nice to read. I am very proud of the care team we have as they are all passionate about their job. They have compassion, empathy and show dignity to each client we support but when we receive a review like this it reiterates the importance of our role.Thank you kindly for sharing your experience. It is appreciated. Registered Manager Beverley Blakeman.
A little persuasion to get them on board but it has been a pleasure for us all. Mum gets her personal care and retains her dignity. My sister and I keep the Mother / Daughter relationship.
Mum looks forward to the team coming for the social too. My sister and I relax in the evening knowing she is in first class hands.
Highly recommended , 5 Star service.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to read that your mum looks forward to her care team arriving. Your testament proves that there is more to ensuring that each person feels they are retaining their dignity with respect. Furthermore, that the social aspect of any form of support is also...
Changed companies to Essential Healthy Ltd recently. Management are excellent, always at the end of the phone if you need them. Carers are very polite and courteous and very patient with mum. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are all doing their very best in caring for my mum whilst I work full time. They are getting to know how mum likes things done for example, her cup of tea and her routine and are really very good at what they do. Their call times are very accurate, and if there is a problem, traffic etc, they will notify me.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It is a pleasure to support you and your mum, giving you both peace of mind that support is being provided to the best of our ability.It is a pleasure to read that you feel the management are supportive as well as the care team. Again, thank you for your kind words; they are most appreciated.
All of the carers are professional and treat mum with respect and dignity. Even during periods of bad weather, carers have arrived as punctually as possible and have never let her down. Management has given mum extra medications on prescription (antibiotics and steroids) as required. I feel I can always speak to a member of the team if I have any concerns or need any advice. Management showed real concern about clients' well-being, particularly when my mum was hospitalised recently.
It is a privilege to read that you feel the care team for mum is professional and that they treat mum with the dignity and respect she deserves. This is a large part of our working ethos and our core values. Furthermore, we pride ourselves on management involvement for all of our clients and care...
Excellent service, communication is good, continuity of staff is good. Staff are competent and thorough with the care. The carer's are very good with my wife who has very complex and challenging conditions. Time keeping is excellent which is a major factor where the medication is concerned.
Reading this review makes me so very proud. The difference that the care team are making to yourself and your lovely wife is what we all aspire for at Essential Health.The feedback that you have given is what makes the team thrive and continuously drive forward to better ourselves and perform at...
My experience of Essential Health as a provider is that they are brilliant, my mum has had a few carers and she has said they are all lovely and very caring and she could not ask for anything more, so we would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and carers, thanking you for everything.
Thank you for your lovely comments, At Essential Health we do aim to provide a naturally caring service. I am very proud of the care team. They all take time out to support each individual to feel safe, secure and respected by their carers. It is nice to read your comments as this enhances the fact...
The service care and professionalism, and above all, kindness and thoughtfulness of your team caring for my husband could not be better.
Thank you for your kind words. To receive a review like this is pleasure and warming. The care team are all dedicated to their role and I will be certain to pass on your lovely words as I know they will be delighted. At Essential Health we do pride ourselves on the bespoke service we provide with empathy and compassion. Thank you for taking the time to review of services. Kindest regards
Many ups and downs as expected but with the care and attention to us both (me verbally) from the care staff soon overcome. They are all the extended family now who we can confined in. Would recommend Essential Health to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is pleasing to read that you feel comfortable to talk freely with the care team you have.How nice to read that you think of the team as your extended family.Always a pleasure and an honour support our clients.Kindest regards Registered manager
Overall a good service - some problems with registered carers but this is always looked at by the office. My wife takes a while to settle with change due to her condition but we get there in the end. All in all, it is a fair service. Good contact with the office staff who will sort our any problem as soon as possible.
Thank you for your honest comments. It is good to read that you feel you are receiving a fair service. Furthermore, you feel supported by the office. Kind regards Registered Manager
The amazing service provided by Essential Health was evident from the first phone call I received and continued through every visit. Every carer I have met has had an exceptional level of care and consideration for the needs of my grandad, going beyond what was expected in order to maintain his dignity and show him the compassion he deserves, he has had other care companies previously and this has not been my experience with those companies. I also have to mention the extra care and support that has been provided to family members, including myself, helping us to talk about wonderful memories and share stories during this difficult time has been a wonderful support to us and I will be eternally grateful for this. Every member of this wonderful company have care at the heart of every visit.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. It really is both an honour and a privilege to support you all at such a difficult time. Your memories are a true representation of the beautiful family that you are and to see the unconditional love and support for each other is overwhelming. Thank you.
The carers always arrive 'happy' to see us. My husband having fallen the carers were left to oversee medical care - brilliantly.
Thank you for your lovely words, it is a pleasure and a privilege to support both yourself and your husband. The care team thoroughly enjoy the time spent together and value the fun they have. Thank you again.
Mum has been quite poorly lately, the support we have recieved not just for mum has been second to none, with nothing too much trouble the care they have given has been fabulous, not only to mum but to our family, sent out 2nd person for extra support to keep eye on her they have maintained her dignity, shown empathy. They have maintained continuity, communication is excellent letting us know of any concerns. I just want to say thank you for all that you do for mum and my family don't know what we would do without you.
To all the family, thank you so much for your lovely kind words. They are truly appreciated. The care and support that your mum along with yourselves is crucial to all the care team at Essential Health. The excellent communication we have together only enhances the support we can provide and we are...
I am very pleased with my carer and what she does for me.
Thank you again.
Very happy with the carers; they have taken good care of Mum, always asking if she wants a cup of tea, and they heat her hot water bottles up. Mum feels very comfortable around them, which takes a big load off my shoulders; they always ask how I am coping, just their presence in the house has eased the stress.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is important to the team to know that you feel your Mum is taken 'good care of'. Furthermore, it is a pleasure to read that your Mum feels comfortable with her care team and that this, in turn, supports yourself. It is a pleasure to provide support to you both. Many thanks.
The care my son has received over the last five years has continued to be excellent, from both the carers and staff who treat him very professionally with compassion and empathy, which puts my mind at ease.
We do not have any problems. The two girls who visit us are brilliant.
All the staff were very professional in the way they cared for my dad. They were approachable and genuinely demonstrated empathy. I felt very comfortable knowing that the staff were my eyes and ears, as my dad lives on his own. The office staff always kept me informed of any concerns they may have had and readily communicated with my dad's General Practitioner when required. The overall experience for my dad and me was one of satisfaction and contentment.
Thank you for such a beautifully written review.
Take great care

Meet the Team (4)
Hi, my name is Bev, I am the registered manager of Essential Health, and it is an honour to be so. I have too many years of experience to mention within the Health and Social care sector, but I would like to say that I am very proud of the united team we are. We all agree that our working ethos is to provide a service of bespoke care with passion, dignity, inclusion and respect.
I enjoy frequenting my caravan in Wales and exploring the stunning surroundings with my Husband. I am partial to a meal out with my friends and having a catch-up. I currently have 3 dogs who I love dearly. They are a mixed bunch consisting of a large Labrador, a medium Springer Spaniel and a miniature dachshund who all keep me on my toes. I enjoy most music; however, my favourite is Motown and Northern Soul. I have one son whom I am very proud of and who appears to be thriving in this world.
In my spare time, I like to read, listen to music, and go to concerts. I also look after three dogs when their owners go away.
Hi, I’m Jason, the Liaison Manager at Essential Health. I spent 8 years working in Care in Stoke on Trent before I had the privilege of joining the management team alongside Bev and Paula. I am passionate about supporting our Team, which means that they can passionately support our clients. I believe we nurture the very best qualities through our whole team, and I am immensely proud to work with all the people I work with.
I love to read in my quiet time, Science Fiction and also History, especially the history of Stoke. I live with my wife, and we enjoy cooking together and planning our holidays. I have 4 grown-up children, a passion for collecting mechanical watches, strong coffee, and bacon & cheese oatcakes. My dream would be to take an around-the-world cruise. The best part of my job is listening to the stories that our amazing clients tell us; it's living history.
Hi, my name is Lucy, and I joined the Essential Health team in October 2024 to pursue my dream of working in content creation. As a Content Creator in the homecare field, my job is to capture and communicate the genuine heart that defines our service. I spend my days gathering stories, creating helpful resources, and creating content that reflects our core values. I get my motivation from the people I work alongside. Witnessing the daily dedication of our entire team is utterly amazing.
Outside of work, I follow my football team home and away with my Dad, and I’m a big lover of music and concerts that I attend with my Mum. I also love my car and driving to explore new places with my best friend. In addition to that, I love to travel and experience new places across the world.
