The carers are really helpful and all often to do any jobs around the house if needed. Very friendly and helpful to my husband and instil confidence in him.

My dad is receiving outstanding care from County Care. They are extremely supportive of dad and ensure they are always meeting his needs. They are also an invaluable support to me offering useful and constructive advice as I navigate the world of dementia and Alzheimer's. The County Care carers are kind, compassionate, professional and completely trustworthy. I literally would not cope without them!

Thank you for such kind words. We want to ensure clients can remain as independent as possible in their own homes and so we are glad our service is working so well for your Dad. It is a pleasure to be able to help.

I can honestly say that we have had no cause for complaint whatsoever - quite the reverse. The staff have consistently done more than we could have expected. Without them, I would not be here today. When I look at how I was when I came home from the hospital and what the carers have achieved with me now, I realise it is quite remarkable.
