Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have had homecare for my mother for over 18 months. The carers are very friendly and support my mother tremendously. They are very professional and nothing is too much trouble in their care of her. They make her laugh and having the same team and regular faces is essential as my mother has dementia
and a series of complicated needs. The office is great when we need to contact them with requests and changes.

After an initial hiccup in the first week when the designated carer did not turn up twice! We were sent another carer and she is a very pleasant lady and dad seems very happy with her.

I have found the service quite reliable with friendly carers. The service is only quite reliable because of traffic problems to our home.

Carers are good but the office is not organised in respect of not checking that they have enough time to get from one place to there next client, otherwise the service is excellent.
