Review from Karen F (Daughter of Client) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We have had great service from yourselves.
My mother is more than happy with her 'friend' who comes and sits with her for two hours a week.

IT is great for my dad and myself to know that we can go out for these hours and know my mother is in safe hands.

My husband has had the same person to sit with him for a few months and he reacts well and enjoys her company. She is cheerful and chatty which is just what he needs.

On the days that a sitter comes to the house it means I can pick my grandsons up from school and take them for food without being on edge. This service is an enormous help and I really appreciate it.

Overall Experience

I find the service for my mother very helpful with trusted people trained in how to support elderly clients. Each relates differently but the core standard of care is kind, reliable and tailored to her needs and personality, her interests and history. Whilst they are here, the sitters keep Mum safe while I am away from home, supporting us best with compassion and humour in difficult times. The service has really helped Mum and I through the challenges we face as her health deteriorates.

The ladies who sat with Mum were all very friendly, helpful and caring. They enabled me to get a few hours of respite, much needed. Their understanding of dementia and Mum's needs were always met and I felt confident leaving her in their care. Sadly Mum is now in permanent care but I will always be grateful to Habitat Home Care for their services. Thank you everyone.
