Staff were professional & friendly. They were punctual and clean. I stopped the service once my catheter was removed, and I only needed to wash and dress myself.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My use of the caring service has been excellent. My carer is very efficient and most willing to support me with a number of tasks, which are most useful considering I am partially sighted.
We have a lot in common, which makes working together easy.

I have been extremely happy with care that I have received from Homelium. The carers are very supportive and friendly to me. The office are contactable and also professional and helpful when I need to call. I would not hesitate to recommend to others.
I was going to rate as good, but in hindsight.
I cannot fault the company, after chatting with my daughter, I realise I would be lost without them and their attention to detail, going above and beyond to help me.

Homelium took over my Father's care after the re-enablement package, which had followed his long hospital stay, came to an end. They have proved reliable, professional and kind. They are very communicative and it is a great comfort to me to know that he is in safe hands and they will let me know of
any issues promptly.

Review from Jacqueline C (Daughter of Client) published on 7 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum found herself requiring daily carers shortly after losing my father of over 50 years. The first company providing care fell very short, turning up late, lots of different daily carers and not befriending my mother at all. Homelium has been a revelation in quality care for my mother. We agreed
a time and they arrive dead on time twice daily, they are friendly and attentive and really seem interested in growing a lovely relationship with her. She has the same 2/3 carers and is forging wonderful relationships with them. They have their daily chores but use their initiative to make my mother's life good. They spend time with her, they are not rushing. We 100% recommend Homelium. My mum is thriving. It has taken the pressure off us, her children, as we know she is being looked after as we ourselves would look after her. The manager is approachable, friendly and professional as are her team.

Mum has advanced dementia and has 24-hour live-in care provided by Homelium. She lives on her own in a remote location so finding the right support was important to us. We decided on Live in Care a few years ago and this has been the right approach for us. The needs of someone with advanced dementia
are very high and we are really satisfied with the care Mum receives.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.755 for Homelium Essex & Northampton is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.755
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Homelium Essex & Northampton is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Regional Care Manager

I found my calling in the care industry over 15 years ago when my mum and I became the primary caregivers for my dad, who was battling stomach cancer. That experience changed my perspective on life, and I knew I wanted to give back to vulnerable individuals who might not have the support they need.


I stumbled upon a local ad for a new care company just starting out, and within a week, I was not only providing care but also taking on the role of the company scheduler!


One of the things I cherish most about my role is building connections with our amazing team of carers. A happy carer makes for a happy manager, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each person on our team. As for our clients, witnessing the positive impact our care has on their lives and the gratitude from their families is incredibly rewarding. It brings me joy to know that we make a difference in someone’s well-being.


When I’m not immersed in the world of care, you might find me reminiscing about my favourite travel destination- the Isles of Scilly. It’s a breathtaking place that feels like a slice of the Caribbean right across from Cornwall! If you were to catch me on a karaoke night (which doesn’t happen often) I might belt out “I will survive.” It perfectly captures the rhythm of my busy life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
