My mother has a certain carer on a Thursday afternoon for respite for my mother. The carer is wonderful with mum and dad. Although we now have daily carers from social services, we decided to continue to have the same carer on Thursday which we pay for. Social services now pay for mum's daily care. Dad said they are not as good as the carer who cared for mum two mornings a week. I also find the person in the office always polite and helpful.

I am very satisfied with the work and help given by the carer who regularly serves me. Other carers are helpful but are not always familiar with what is required. I am dependant on the carer who is most helpful. Other cares vary but are always helpful.

The first interview was very professional hence my choice. The carer chosen is a perfect match for me and she is the regular lady. I am more than satisfied.

Generally, we have a panel of 7 carers looking after us. We need 2 carers to hoist me in and out of bed and into a wheelchair.
Subject to traffic, the carer has been on time and organised. They have been a happy bunch and encourage me to start the day.
We find our carers are most helpful, knowledgeable and supportive.

There has been a consistent attention to mum's needs (Alzheimer's) while they have been going into mum's home. Attention to her individual needs has been satisfied although mum is very unpredictable, things have not been forced in her hygiene and personal care. This is fine as she can be very difficult. The support is good and mostly the familiar faces mum's having is maintained to ensure her well-being and happiness where it is possible. Helpful service when it is necessary to call with regard to queries or issues.

Generally OK. Difficulty contacting my wife after her telephone was removed. My wife was not always comfortable with staff looking through her drawers. Otherwise generally satisfactory.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by S D (Daughter of Client) on Tuesday 6 December 2016.
Our mum is a dementia sufferer. She needs regular/routine care which covers all day every day. Our carers provide an excellent over and above care. Mum often doesn't drink enough and tends to suffer from U.T.I's The last time, August this year, the carers (and family) were concerned and following their advice we called the paramedics, ended up at the hospital and thankfully mum was allowed home with strong antibiotics. The team of carers who look after mum are "our Angels!" They take care of mum, take her out and about and without them, mum wouldn't be at home. The whole management team are always there for us to phone and talk to and their door is always open. They have become part of our family and would highly recommend them to anyone. They certainly deserve an award!!

I am very happy with the carers. They work very hard and will do anything I request. They put themselves out to take me to doctors appointments and hospital. They are one in a million. They have helped me tremendously.
They are the best!

We have used this agency for four years and have no intention of leaving them. They always do everything they can to meet my wife's changing needs. The carers are very professional and friendly. They look after me very well indeed and I feel extremely safe with them.

Bright Dawn visit my mother once a week for an hour. This is to introduce a regular person into the home to build up a relationship, initially as friendship and companionship. My mother has Alzheimers and is requiring some extra support with hygiene, nutrition (eating!) and medication prompting. I hope to enable, with funding the services of Bright Dawn once the assessment is completed. They are a reliable, consistent care company and very supportive to myself.

Up to about 2 months ago I considered the management very poor - not letting me know who would be coming in place of my usual helper. It was quite irritating to have someone who had never been before. However things have changed very much for the better. I cannot fault the management today. i have already recommended Bright Dawn home care to a friend.

I have been with the agency since Jan 16tth 2015. During that time I have had several carers each of them kind, courteous and absolutely reliable. Contact between carer, office management and client is much better than previously. Service is good although expensive. I could recommend the agency to others but only if I knew they could afford it. My own ability to use the service is due to receiving an attendance allowance.
