The carers are very friendly to Mum and look after her well. They update management who then update me on any incidents that happen.

I found the Bramley Home Care manageress and her team efficient. Nothing too much. My husband was very ill but they were always on time and greeted us with a smile, which meant a lot. The support they gave us at a very sad time. Thank you for your staff. It made a difference at end of life.

The care and support that my grandad received was really great. Each carer treated grandad with respect and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble. Seeing different carers gave my grandad the chance to still speak about different things about each individual and himself.

Thank you very much for your very positive review. Our carers will appreciate your comments greatly.

Twice now I have had to cancel my weekly visit with the office as I have had to travel to hospital for tests on my heart. I gave a week's notice but I have found that I had a notice to say that I had not cancelled these appointments. It was not the carers' fault, but somehow my phone calls had not been
noted. I was very upset.
Reply from Mary Blundy at Bramley Home Care - Shaftesbury

Thank you for making time to give us valued feedback. Having chatted with you about your comments, we both agreed that there had been a miscommunication. We are very sorry for the distress this caused you. You said you were very keen to keep our visits and in particular the carer that regularly sees you. We will endeavour to continue providing the good service to which you are accustomed.

I feel the client needs to have a 10 minute gratis on the first visit from a carer as it always takes up time explaining what to do and where things are kept. That said, once familiar, the care is efficient and of a high standard. Memory is good and detailed. Kindly, friendly, respectful. I am always
in admiration.
Reply from Mary Blundy at Bramley Home Care - Shaftesbury

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review, and for your kind words. We value your comments and feedback which we will take on board. New carers shadow more experienced staff and also have the opportunity to read care plans before visiting clients. However, we will try to offer more shadowing, as well as encouraging new carers to read care plans more thoroughly before making their first visits. It is important to us that we provide a very high standard of care and any suggestions to improve even further are greatly appreciated.

I find your care package extremely good and I find the 4 hours I spent with a member of your staff relaxing, sometimes funny, which makes my day. Thank you.

We have found the service to be both helpful and caring. Mum enjoys the added stimulation of seeing the other ladies to chat with. The carers also enable myself and my sister to have a little more free time. Communication between ourselves and the carers is excellent and we feel that mum is treated
with dignity and respect at all times.
