I used Bramley Home Care to assist with my convalescence at home, after a month in an NHS hospital following a hip operation. The staff assigned to me were friendly, sympathetic and highly professional. I cannot praise them too highly.

I found all the staff punctual, helpful, cheerful and very kind. They were very professional at all times and eager to please. I was recovering after surgery and they were a godsend - I would hesitate to use Bramley Home Care again if needed.

Bramley Home Care team and the carers with whom I have had the pleasure of meeting have impressed me and my late wife hugely. Their unfailing cheerfulness and professionalism are remarkable and outstanding. I cannot imagine a higher standard of home care by any other organisation than Bramley Home Care
- Shaftesbury.
Well done and thank you.

I have had a great week with my four wonderful carers. They work speedily, but always with thought and never leave without checking I am happy. Occasional personal care never of the same quality and obviously struggle with my high standards for care. Company been very helpful with my calls.

I received care for three months after a foot fusion operation. The management team were helpful and efficient in setting my care up. The carers were kind, helpful and efficient, always arriving on time. At the time, my wife was not well and unable to help, so I could not have managed without the carers
of Bramley Home Care.

I have been impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of management and carers alike. The cheerfulness of the carers is especially valued and the tenderness as well as willpower to help in whatever way asked of them is indicative of the excellent standards at Bramley Care. I am very pleased
to recommend Bramley as first class is all. My husband and I cannot speak too highly of all concerned. Thank you.

My carer is very helpful, pleasant and works all around the house. She will wash up, wash the kitchen floor and hoover. She makes tea on arrival. As she is with me only a short time, there is no need to cook.
Normally my daughter looks after me but as she is on holiday at the moment she did not want
to leave me on my own.

We are glad to know that the carers are supporting you whilst you are on your own. We look forward to building our relationship with you.

Bramley Care provides an excellent service, they are competent, compassionate and very reliable. Always arriving with a cheery smile and a capable pair of hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone. In the beginning, they gave me peace of mind when my parents were still living on their own, but
needed a little extra help and as their health declined they supported us with the additional help required. I couldn't have managed without them.
