Overall Experience
Have been very happy so far with Caring Hands. Charlotte and the management team have been excellent and very helpful and constantly checking the care plan is working and going well. The group chat is a great way of communicating and Alishbah, the coordinator is always available and responds quickly to any queries.

The carers are kind and respectful and do all tasks required well.

Overall Experience

I am Jessica's mom, Jessica was diagnosed with autistic and non verbal since 21/2 years old. Jessica has been using the service since Jan2026. Our care coordinator is Alishbah, who always response our needs within minutes and very helpful. She always gave us advance notice of any changes in the care. Jessica current carer is Sumi. She come every weekends to give me some breaks. She is a very humble, kind and helpful person. She is very patient with Jessica which is very important for a severe autistic girl like her. Just want to say thank you to both Alishbah and Sumi. Appreciate!

Reply from Mohammed Ahmed, Director at Caring Hands East London

Thank you for the kind words for Alishba and Sumi. I hope their input does make a good difference for Jessica and gives you the time you need for yourself when Sumi is around.

Excellent service, I needed a carer at short notice for my elderly Mother for an hour, shortly after phoning Caring Hands the carer arrived in about 30 minutes to attend to Mum.
The carer was brilliant she a had very helpful and compassionate attitude and the person I spoke to who organised the carer was very helpful and professional.

I will definitely use this company again when needed!

Overall Experience

She doesn't understand when I send her messages on the social media group. if there is a problem with carers, even when I speak to her on the phone, she doesn't seem to understand what I am trying to say to her.. getting back to me when she needs to to give me an update is very slow. if carers are running late, I have to message her to find out what is the reason why they are late.

Reply from Mohammed Ahmed, Director at Caring Hands East London

Hi Janet Thank you pointing these out once again and giving a true reflection of your feelings. its not the first time we have been down this road. I would suggest to also reflect what the care staff are going through and they themself have made things clear as to how they feel. Please pop in this time and so we can have a chat to solve the issue again.

Overall Experience

My mother's care coordinator generally communicates well, sends rotas on time, and is approachable when issues arise. She is supportive overall, and while arranging cover can sometimes be challenging, she does her best to manage it and this is an area for further improvement. The management team is generally good and supportive, though more direct communication and involvement would be beneficial.

The Care Agency have been providing wonderful care for my mother who is elderly with dementia. The carers are very attentive and patient with my mum who in turn is very happy with her carers. They look after her well and attend to all her needs promptly. The Care Coordinator sorts out the Rota and any ongoing queries quickly. She is nice and very approachable.

One of our mums allocated carers from the agency is great - she looks after our mum very well, is very respectful, friendly and caring to my mum, ensuring mums wishes are taken into account in all aspects. The administration is also faultless and co-ordination of staff and managing the rota for the care is very efficient.

Review from R K (Friend of Client) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been receiving care services from Caring Hands for my father over the past four and a half years, and our experience has been consistently excellent. The standard of care provided has been exemplary, and our family is extremely pleased with the support and attention given.

Our assigned carer is always punctual, professional, and attentive. Any concerns or issues that arise are addressed promptly and resolved efficiently, which reflects the team's commitment to high-quality service.

I would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the care coordinator. She has been exceptional in her role-always accessible, responsive, and willing to assist. Her ability to listen carefully, understand our concerns, and take swift action has made a significant difference in the quality of care we receive.

On behalf of our entire family, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Caring Hands, and in particular to Alishaba, for their continued professionalism, compassion,

Review from O M (Client / Service User) published on 13 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I spoke to the managers about my health problems and what care I needed during an assessment and they completely disregarded that information. Then they gave me a carer that was not capable of doing anything that I needed her to do. I would ask the carer to do something and she would simply not do it. Sometimes I wondered if she understood English. She did. She simply did not do what I asked. She would huff and seem fed-up with me, and would not do it. This made me feel guilty for asking her to do, what I had paid her to do! I am paying for this with my own money because the NHS has abandoned me, yet again. I asked her to wash my hair a certain way, she didn't want to. She kept pulling it roughly and causing more breakage than necessary. I asked her if she has experienced wheeling people to places, using public transport, planning and following journeys, setting up the wheelchair, etc., and she said "yes" but did none of it.

Reply from Mohammed Ahmed, Director at Caring Hands East London

Hi O M, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be looking into this claim of yours. But what upsets me is that you never bought this up earlier before going out to your excursion. if you had informed the coordinator that you're not happy with the carer we would have changed them for...
