Friendly Homecare has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) out of 10, based on 7 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Friendly Homecare has 43 reviews.
They respond to phone calls or emails quickly. They did a thorough care plan and made changes, as my uncle's needs increased. They knew exactly who we were and were always up-to-date with what was happening. They responded quickly to any concerns we raised. They were amazingly flexible when we asked for variations of cover at short notice. They were very reasonable with their prices, better than the other agencies we looked at. The only reason we have stopped using them is that my uncle now needs live in day and live in waking night cover but we will call on Friendly Homecare for any holiday cover or emergencies.
The care that was provided was for a dementia patient who had suffered a stroke 15 years prior. We, as a family, had used several companies before to provide home care. Having experienced terrible care companies and carers in the past, we were very happy with the care that Friendly Homecare provided. They were honest, flexible, accommodating and most of all, caring. They provided carers who were lovely and helped enormously with the care of this family member. The management kept us informed whenever there was something not quite right and kept on top of the care, managing the carers and being proactive. Communication was very good. In our experience finding a good company and carer is difficult and there are some terrible ones out there but we have no hesitation in recommending this company.
They go out of their way to ensure that my son is comfortable with them and they are always very caring and helpful.
I have used many agencies in the past, but feel very happy to let Friendly Homecare take over for the time they are with us.

Meet the Team (6)
I’ve been working in the social care sector for over 20 years. My personal and work experiences have inspired my passion for encouraging and supporting elderly & vulnerable individuals to maintain their independence within their own homes or to regain it, following a deterioration in abilities, perhaps owing to illness or other reasons.
I am experienced in supporting & planning support for individuals with various health conditions and I have worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to achieve positive health outcomes for service users. Through person-centred care planning, the team and I are able to promote individuals’ capabilities, choices, dignity and self-esteem, as a means of stimulating better physical and emotional well-being.
I am also quite ardent about staff development, in order to deliver an efficient, high quality and personalised care service with a focus on interaction and involvement.
Natasha has been working within the domiciliary care sector for over 20 years as well, in various roles, starting out as a care support worker. She progressed through to management and enjoys dealing with and supporting our service users and support workers with any issues they might have. Natasha works closely with Shiva and deals with many of the day-to-day issues that arise.
“I still enjoy providing care for service users whenever required. Personal contact is invaluable and reminds you of the positive impact that you can have on someone’s life. Outside of work, I am a mum of two and also help to support my two elderly great aunts so that they can remain independent in their home”.
Sedana has a wide range of experience in adult social care and has supported many individuals, often with very complex physical and mental health needs. She has been working with us for over 5 years but has 20+ years of experience supporting vulnerable individuals.
Cicely has been supporting our service users for 8 years, and she too, has many years of prior experience in social care.
She loves visiting different places, cooking, baking (she makes a delicious banana cake!) and growing fruits & vegetables in her garden during the summer.
Diana has been with Friendly Homecare for 8 years. She has a wide range of previous experiences including at a GP surgery; and has supported individuals of all ages. Diana is known for being very practical and knowledgeable. She’s one for a good chat!
Winnie has been working with us for over 7 years. Prior to that, she was also working in domiciliary care with other providers. She has over 12 years of experience supporting elderly and vulnerable service users - many with frailty, or a diagnosis of dementia, who have benefitted from having her support all day, or overnight.
