Overall Experience

I strongly recommend Kare Plus Preston. The staff are friendly and compassionate with their clients. They take good care of my Aunty with their professional skills and are always very friendly and compassionate when they visit. She could not have been taken care of by better carers. Thank you Kare Plus for taking good care of my Aunty.

Review from Susan H (Mother-in-law of Client) published on 7 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

So pleased with the excellent service provided after my mother-in-law was sent home from hospital after a fall. She was given twenty-four hour care with a specific carer and I really can’t praise her enough. She was so caring, gentle and thoughtful and looked after all her needs. She stayed with her at all times, night and day, for a full week, some nights having very little sleep. Nothing got her down and she dealt with it efficiently. Another carer again cared and nursed her so well. Thank you to your company, it’s nice to know there’s still some kind people about.

Overall Experience
I would certainly recommend Kare Plus Preston. The carers visited 4 times a day and were very respectful, friendly, helpful and some went way beyond the call of duty to accommodate my mum's needs.
The company has been very flexible when I needed to change their calls.

Thank you for looking after my precious mum.

Overall Experience

The care you gave our mum after her terminal diagnosis was excellent. She loved all the carers who came to look after her and dad in her final months. Your professionalism was exemplary and this helped mum who was a private and proud person become relaxed and reassured in your care. We cannot thank you enough for helping us at this time.

Overall Experience

I've used a few agencies which haven't been able to deal with my needs but found Kare Plus to be the best. Hurdles are no problem to this company. They have incorporated things like school runs, social activities for my daughter, as well as catering for my every need. I wouldn't be the independent person I am today without this company. They've bent over backwards to help at every level. I've managed my own care plan incorporating social activities for myself such as swimming, shopping, visiting family, just day to day life skills also giving my carer their vital respite so everyone is happy.

Clive Cooper Job Title: Director Joined: 2016
Clive Cooper

I opened Kare Plus Preston after my severely autistic son was taken into full-time care in 2015. In the years leading up to this, when he lived at home, we came to rely increasingly on care support services and were helped by a series of carers.

We were lucky that most carers were terrific, but others had simply not been prepared for what to expect and really struggled. I think this was really the result of not being fully trained in the specific requirements that we had, and the agency seeing care as simply sending any person out to a job without checking if they were experienced and trained for the work. This was unfair on the carer who was put in a difficult position and of course, ourselves who didn't get the support we had paid for.

With Kare Plus Preston, my aim is to deliver services that fully support the needs of the customer. By understanding exactly what the needs are, the person required, and then following up to check on performance, we build trust with our customers and give feedback to the carers so they know they are doing a good job, and if necessary, how they can improve.

When all is said and done, it's me who is fully responsible for the operation of the office and for all my staff, and you can always call me directly to discuss any aspect of the service or the staff personally.
