Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff looking after my mother are always patient, respectful, pleasant and do all that is asked and required. Timekeeping is very good. The staff in the office is always available to talk, listen to changing care, night sits, holiday cover. Excellent care. No hesitation in recommending to future
customers.

My husband has been having care from Lifetime Home Care for the past four years. We have found the company very helpful and always ready to listen and act on any of our needs.
My husband has double handle care and the carers have been very good and respectful.

Lifetime Home Care do an excellent job for my Mother. They have 'caring' carers who are a pleasure to have calling. Very punctual and thorough! We changed from the council recommended care team as we needed reliable carer's and lifetime home care have excelled in this.

We have used Lifetime to care for my husband since January 2015. We have found the company excellent to deal with. The carers we have had during this period have been excellent in their overall care of him and the dignity they show to him and myself. We would always recommend Lifetime to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care we received from Lifetime Home Care Ltd was always kind, always caring and always discreet. Nothing was too much trouble. They listened to our worries and concerns and responded back to their supervisors with any problems we had. They recorded everything daily so that the next carer visiting
was fully aware of our concerns and the progress of their patient.


This agency has amazing staff, always on time, always patient and always polite and well dressed. If we ever need help again they would be our first port of call. As Tina Turner sang, "Simply the best, better than all the rest".

I cannot praise the girls enough for their patience, care, commitment and dedication to their work. The carers come in to assist me four times per day. They wash, dress and move me from bed to chair and chair to bed, they give me my medication, assist me with the toilet, always ask if there is anything
else I need. They are thorough and very professional. My care couldn't be any better.

Review from Fiona B (Daughter of Client) published on 13 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since mum has been a client of Lifetime Homecare we have seen an improvement in her general health although living with Dementia. Nothing is too much trouble whether it is administering eye drops to rubbing her legs and shoulders with cream on a daily basis. I am always advised of any concerns the carers
have during their visits and this can be from running out of a particular type of food to running out of ointment. Two staff, in particular, take the time to sit with my mum even though the conversation can be a little confused at times and it is evident from what I have witnessed that Dementia training is paramount.
I visit my mum on a daily basis and it is so important that I get to know the carers as well. They are all very warm and friendly and it is lovely to see my mum very content after being hospitalised for almost 6 months of 2017.

We have required care at home for our 91-year-old mother with dementia/Alzheimer's. After using other agencies unsatisfactorily, the switch to Lifetime Home Care Ltd was the best thing that could have happened. From day one, the caring professional management team have created a caring, professional
carers team who are totally trustworthy. The client can be difficult at times, but Lifetime Home Care Ltd has managed all situations sensitively and successfully.


Their introduction of a 'befriender' 2x3 hours per week has added so much quality to mum's life. The family can relax knowing that the Lifetime Home Care Ltd team are reliably caring for our mother/grandmother. Carer arrived in July to find mum had fallen. The carer dealt with everything (ambulance, contacting family and neighbours etc.) calmly and professionally to ensure the best outcome for all - especially mother - staying with her until admission to hospital. Faultless care - can heartily recommend.

Lifetime Home Care has been a lifesaver, not only for my father but to me as well. Caring for someone with complex health needs along with dementia is a challenge! Lifetime has been with me and my father every step of the way. Their carers really do care, they go over and above every day, always with
a smile on their faces. The office staff and coordinators have supported me with gaining a top quality care plan in place. I can't thank them enough for their support. I would recommend them without hesitation.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.833 for Lifetime Home Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.833

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Lifetime Home Care Ltd is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
