On discharge from hospital, I was assessed by social services and a care plan provided. My family quickly realised that, in order to recover more quickly and prevent further harm to me, 24-hour care would be necessary. They asked Brisca Healthcare who responded immediately and provided the care that
I needed.
The carers unobtrusively guided my return to independent living. They were always courteous, warm-hearted, kind and intervened gently, only when necessary. Full accurate, daily written records were made, documenting my activities, health and welfare.
12-hour, one-to-one care followed. My carers accompanied me to my doctors and hospital medical appointments. Additionally, they came with me on short walks and grocery shopping visits.
Currently, Brisca carers visit and report on me twice a week. My family have every confidence in the Brisca team and the reassurance that their reports provide.
On my part, I look forward to the friendly and productive visits that enhance my daily life.

First-class care given, so caring and respectful.
Mum is so happy with all the carers, they are so attentive to all her needs, especially her chats and laughs.
If there is a problem with hospital appointments, the management will work around the times ensuring the care is always provided. As a family,
we are so grateful for all the care given. Thank you.

Sadly, Brisca Healthcare only cared for my mum for about 24 hours before she passed. The carers were wonderful and made sure that my mum's final hours were comfortable and I was very happy with the service we received.
The carers were friendly and attentive and came at the arranged times.
Thank you
Brisca.

My experience of the care provided to my daughter to date has been well managed by the current team of carers. If any issues arise then these can be discussed with the management of the company who are quick to put any change into place. They have treated my daughter with every respect whilst in their
care. Overall the care provided for my daughter takes a whole load off my shoulders so I can feel comfortable that she is receiving excellent care.

The service I received to care for my elderly mother was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were supportive of the whole family including my elderly father who suffers from dementia. They treated my mother with respect and dignity in her final days. Their presence certainly helped
my mother who wished to pass at home. I would like to mention the carers who made sure my mum was comfortable and that we had everything we needed.

Brisca looked after my father aged 92 for as long as we could possibly have him cared for at home. He was treated with kindness, respect and dignity. The carers visiting his house were reliable and efficient. The backup and sometimes problem-solving provided by the office was wonderful. The team are
warm and kind. We as his family will always be grateful for the care Brisca provided. I would recommend them, care is sometimes needed at a difficult time in people's lives and they did a wonderful job.

The care my mum received was fantastic. The carers were reliable, patient and friendly. When my mum's health deteriorated, they kept me constantly informed, and it was very reassuring knowing she was being monitored and taken good care of when I couldn't get there.

Dad was 'threatened' with being kept in hospital over Christmas/New Year despite having been medically discharged 10 days previously, just because the hospital were 'unable' to source carers to deal with him on discharge. This despite the fact that at 89 years old, his health was deteriorating the longer
he stayed in the hospital. Having previously used the services of Brisca when Mum needed care, I contacted them and explained the situation - they jumped into action and confirmed that even on the 23rd of December they could put carers in place to look after Dad as required over Christmas (A family member was staying with him in any case, so it was only a case of overseeing any personal care needs). They remained totally flexible and when it transpired that Dad 'bounced back' once home and didn't need their help any longer, his care was paused and eventually cancelled without issue. We are never-the-less immensely grateful for their support that was needed over the holiday season. Highly recommended!

The Brisca team have been great with my mum since she came out of hospital and Mum enjoys her little chats with them on their visits.
She has had four visits a day for the last two months and Brisca can provide additional cover for respite.

Home carers visited Mum four times a day for twelve months. Despite a couple of issues at the start of the care package, they all treated her with care and dignity. The issues were dealt with in a professional manner and the communication from Brain and Richard was very good.

My wife has been with Brisca Healthcare for about a year. In that time she has received excellent personal care. All the carers are well-trained in their tasks and perform them in an efficient and professional manner. They are very thoughtful and careful in how they work. They are always clean and present
themselves well in their recognisable uniforms. Without exception, they have a pleasant and friendly attitude toward the client. My wife and I always enjoy their visits and it is a pleasure to have them in our house, and they appear to enjoy it as well. The company is also helpful and obliging, in that they will adjust and reschedule visits according to our needs. They will arrive early to ready my wife for a hospital visit or other appointments. The carers are well-trained in the use of mobility equipment and with approval and appropriate training, they will use new techniques and equipment.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.863 for Brisca Healthcare Chelmsford is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 182 Ratings = 4.863

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Brisca Healthcare Chelmsford is based on 32 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
