Review from Juliet B (Client / Service User) published on 8 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From September and three weeks in October, following a spinal fracture, teams of five carers came to provide a far from risk-free, full-length roll-over for removal and replacement of a neck brace, until just two carers could make the change with me sitting-up, always with inspection and dressings by my care home nurses.
The carers were unfailingly kind and attentive and achieved largely excellent replacement and tightening of the brace, sometimes in one go, sometimes more, until everyone was satisfied with this far from easy operation.

There were timetable problems for the carers' arrival and the care home nurses' availability that could delay carers' departure to their next appointments, but they never left until their task was completed, with the assurance that if anything went wrong with the brace they would return to put it right (which never proved necessary). I always felt safe and happy in their hands.

Overall Experience

All the staff are Swifthand, from the owners to the office team and the carers, provide wonderful, heartwarming care. Their committed care extended the lives of both my parents and meant they had the best quality of life that could have in their final years whilst remaining in their own home. We, our family, are eternally grateful!

Review from Julian R (Nephew of Client) published on 21 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The manager and the team have been brilliant in helping and supporting my elderly uncle. They have always kept me updated and informed of any issues that arise and always act quickly to things resolved. The service they offer is very personal, caring and professional. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure my uncle is living a comfortable and quality life. I would highly recommend Swifthand Care if you want the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is in very safe and capable hands.

Absolutely fantastic service. Staff are extremely friendly, professional and punctual. They treat my mother more like a family member rather than a client. I would highly recommend their company.

Overall Experience

During the lockdowns in 2020, Mum received excellent care with carers having to use buses and travel in very cold and wet weather. They kept Mum safe and never let her down. She had three visits a day, two carers, washing their hands, putting on gloves, masks and aprons.

Overall Experience

Swifthand have supported Mum throughout 2020 and into 2021. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Over 1000 plus visits, they have never missed one, and every member of staff is professional and polite. The manager and her team are approachable and always available. Without their support, Mum would not be able to continue living independently.

Overall Experience
This review is of the full care service provided NOT of my personal carer who is extremely efficient and helpful.

I am very happy with the service paid for by my council and appreciate that the hours have to be organised around the requirements of all recipients. This is the only area where the service is not ideal for me.

Review from Claire C (Daughter of Client) published on 19 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The care my mother has received is adequate, however, at times I feel quite frustrated by the lack of forward thinking on behalf of some carers. Despite constant reminders, certain jobs are not completed and my mother's medication is not always prompted effectively.

The cost of the care I feel should warrant a more effective service.

Reply from Anthonia Ugwumba, at Swifthand Care Services Ltd

I am sorry you weren't happy with our service on this occasion and I would like to be given an opportunity to discuss the issue with you so as to resolve it and for us to be able to continue to deliver your mother's care.

We have a very reasonable price compared to other care providers in our...

The standard of care by carers was second to none. They showed compassion, empathy, understanding and caring. They helped me to become more confident in myself and work towards recovery of my body.

My family are more than happy with Swifthand Care Services Ltd. The carers are conscientious, compassionate, caring and very kind to my father. They really do go the extra mile! This is not an easy time for my family - my dad is receiving end of life care - so having these lovely carers help to take care of dad is very important to us.

Very good, sometimes carer does extra. My cousin needs all the care you can give as he is unable to walk or bath.

Overall Experience

Heritage Healthcare were proposed as my carers for the past 6 months. I had previously had carers from other agencies. Heritage send several different carers and cover the weekend at varying quality.

The very best carer comes on the weekends, she is excellent in every respect. Others have been late (for emergencies) and recently one carer has improved very well after a shaky start on weekdays.
