Ascot Care Agency Reviews (20)
Over all time Ascot Care Agency has 20 reviews.
Fantastic care home and people. Kind, compassionate and patient centred service. Would highly recommend to anyone. The staff can’t do enough to ensure not only the patient but also the immediate family feel part of a trusted support network.
The carers looked professional in their uniforms. They spoke politely and asked my friend what she would like for lunch giving her a choice. They chatted to us whilst getting on with their jobs. My friend was asked if she required anything else doing and she asked if the bed could be made up, the cares did this with no questions asked. It was nice to see some smiling faces and to see people who enjoy their work. My friend spilt a bit of food on her top and very casually without it being mentioned it was quickly and discreetly wiped away. Lovely girls a pleasure to have met them.
The service and level of care are fantastic I would not hesitate in recommending Ascot Care. As a family we have engaged with their services for a few months now, their staff are always professional, courteous and caring.

Outstanding care throughout. I can't thank this team enough for the care given to my mother. Nothing is ever a bother from any of the staff. The attention to my mother's personal hygiene and keeping her home clean is 10 out of 10 thank you all so much.

Ascot have consistently been efficient, dedicated to my mother and always kept the family informed.
Ascot have contributed to my mother’s overall well-being and with having dementia, constant and adaptive support is essential. Ascot provided a small team of 5 ‘familiar’ faces, thus keeping any disruption to a minimum.
All issue are rare and dealt with promptly, courteously. Office back up at Ascot is excellent, communication clear and reliable/professional. 100% satisfied.

I find the care my husband is given is done with care and dignity and he is always left clean and comfortable.
Many thanks for your review and for taking the time to submit it.
If it wasn't for the help from the care company and carer my wife would be having a more stressful time trying to care for me. The care component I receive is a load off my wife and she can relax even if it's just for a few hours a week.
We are so pleased that you are happy with the service we provide. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review, it is much appreciated.
Amazing staff, brilliant management, the carers are all amazing, best company I’ve ever been with and this was my third company. Really great at what they do so professional and caring the girls are definitely made for the job they do, great company throughout.

All the carers (live-in) were very good and patient and did everything they possibly could for my dad. I would strongly recommend this care provider.

The review took place with my daughter and me. I was asked if everything was okay and if there were any problems. There are none. I was told that another review would take place in 6 months and if there were any problems I should ring the office.
We are so pleased that you are happy with the service we provide. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review; it is much appreciated.
Ascot provides an outstanding live-in service. We tried home care with another company and it didn’t work. Ascot implemented a live-in care package which has been superb and is far more cost-effective for us.
We are so pleased that you are happy with the service we provide. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review, it is much appreciated.
My carers have been fantastic, each and every one of them has gone above and beyond over the last year. I can only comment on the carers that have visited me but I've never had anyone who wasn't kind and cheerful.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. I am pleased to hear your kind comments and that you are happy with your care staff and the service that they provide.
Ascot Care Agency look after my Dad, I can't speak highly enough of them, the carers and the office managers have been first class. I was concerned as any would be about my Dad needing care and also who to use, but Ascot Care Agency have been brilliant.
Dear Amit, thank you for taking the time to complete this review and for your kind words and comments. We always aspire to be the best we can be, and your positive comments are fed back to the staff, to let them know that the care that they give is appreciated. Thank you again.
I’d like to say a big thank you to all the lovely carers who have looked after me during the last 3 months especially with all the problems we’ve had to face, the carers have gone above and beyond my expectations having never been in this situation before. The care agency has been outstanding and all the carers who’ve helped me have been polite, punctual and always smiling which makes such a difference, I don’t know what I’d do without them.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. We are delighted that you are so happy with the service, and I will make sure that the staff are aware of your comments. They all work very hard and to know that you have taken the time and commented so positively upon the care they provide, will really brighten their day. Thank you again.
I’m delighted with the services my bother-in-law is receiving from the wonderful carers at Ascot Care Agency. My brother-in-law is in his 80s, and the carers I’ve been able to find for him have been very professional, friendly and accommodating to his needs and visit regularly. The carers' help is much appreciated by both of us.
Thank you for taking the time to submit this review. I am really pleased that you are happy with the service that your Brother-in-Law is receiving. I will ensure that the Service Manager and the staff are aware of your kind comments and very positive feedback. Thank you.
Until recently I had had plenty of help from family, particularly my daughter, but due to national lockdowns and my daughter's other commitments I have sought the help of carers who visit me daily. My carers have taken away the strain of daily chores which I would struggle to do otherwise. They help me with tidying, cleaning, and cooking, as my mobility is not as good as it once was, so it's a great help. The carers are extremely friendly and smashing at their job and I look forward to seeing them as much for a chat and some company as I do for help around the house. I'll be pleased to continue using Ascot Care Agency for as long as I need them.
Thank you for taking the time to write and send your review. I am pleased that you are receiving the service that you should expect and are happy with all aspects of the service we provide. I will pass on your comments to the manager and the team who will be thrilled to receive such a positive and friendly review. Thank you.
We have been fortunate to have found the superb assistance offered by Ascot Care Agency, providing live-in care for my mother for some weeks now. My mother sees her carers as part of the family, and I am so happy with the quality of care she is receiving and how professional and trustworthy the carers have been. My mother has suffered with sundowning and knowing someone is there to ease her anxiety is quite a relief. Covid has made the last year a worrying time for our family and my mother's well being, and I have to say the carers have been outstanding throughout and deserve a medal. Along with the carers, the manager and office staff have been on hand with updates and any information I've required and nothing has been too much trouble, I can only thank everyone for all they are doing.
Dear Zoe, thank you for taking the time to write such kind comments. I will ensure that the team are aware of your review, it will mean so much to them. I am pleased that Ascot Care are able to offer the care and support that your Mother requires, and they will always continue and strive to be the best they can. Thank you.
I and my husband were both relieved to have found Ascot Care Agency who have been able to assist with the care of my elderly Aunt in her own home, at the times when we can't be there. We have been pleased to find such kind, friendly and experienced staff, helping and reassuring my Aunt during such troubling times. My Aunt is very happy knowing she has regular visits and that there's always someone to help with any problem she may have, as well as being company for her throughout the day. I would recommend Ascot Care Agency to anyone needing home care.
There's a lot of bad press nowadays around care homes and I consider myself fortunate to have found Ascot.
