Review from M D (Granddaughter of Client) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Habitat Homecare provided my Grandad with a hub which he attended Weekly for a number of weeks, he had a carer take him and bring him home while we were unable to do so with work.
To see my Grandad smile and laugh when telling us his stories from his day is just so heartwarming as a family.
Habitat means so much to us putting a smile back on my Grandads face. Living on his own for many years he's struggled with us working full time.
Attending Habitat Homecare Hub, he's met new friends and enjoyed listening to everyone else's life stories, had chats over a cup of tea, played board games and generally felt valued.

Thank you to all the carers you are amazing.

Since my husband has had a sitter for 3 hours for 2 days, he has improved mentally and physically, due to an extra someone to talk to. (He is aged 91 and has limited mobility with Parkinsonism).

Overall Experience
I look forward to my home care once a fortnight for 3 hours, it's given me time to see friends and have lunch.
My husband seems to be ok with it, they keep him topped up with tea/coffee and biscuits or he just walks about all the time, you can't leave him. You don't know what he will do.

Your staff are all lovely, you don't know how much it means to me. Big thanks.

Since attending Habitat Homecare I have felt much better, as before this I didn't go out at all being recently widowed after being married for seventy years. It has really uplifted me. everyone is so friendly there is plenty to do and talk about and I have made many new friends. The main thing is of course the company.

The assistance we get for my husband is extremely helpful and courteous. They have brought my husband through two really nasty patches in the last few years with great care and attention, they will do any task which is helping me as well. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. They tend with great care and the staff in the office are very helpful in getting things put in place for us.

I have nothing but praise and heartfelt gratitude for the superb care and consideration all the Habitat Homecare staff show to my husband (the client) and also myself and I also feel so much happier every time a carer is here with my husband. I sing your praises to my family and friends regularly. All of you are so professional and caring and I would recommend you to everyone from the lovely office staff to each and every carer we were lucky enough to have.

Overall Experience

My Mum is an 84-year-old lady living alone and has been attending the Habitat Hub weekly. The difference in her is incredible being able to socialise with other people her age. Playing games to keep her mind occupied, laughing and having a meal in company has made her happy and given her a new lease of life. Can't thank the Habitat Homecare staff enough.

Reply from Lisa Buchanan, Director & Responsible Individual at Habitat Homecare

Thank you for rating our service and providing such positive feedback on the Habitat Hub. So lovely to hear the Habitat Hub is having such an impact to your mum’s overall wellbeing. One of the main aims of the Hub is to address isolation and loneliness in our local residents. Great to hear we are achieving this with our supportive staff.
