Review from Julie F (Daughter of Client) published on 19 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nest was recommended by the care home my father was in for respite. I felt they would only recommend them if they offered service of a high standard (as they had done) so that inspired confidence.


Care has been excellent and whilst my father was initially resistant, he wouldn't be without them now.

He looks forward to his visits and I know someone is checking on him daily which gives me peace of mind. Communication with us is excellent. (I find the portal visit notes invaluable).


My father was desperate to stay in his own home and Nest have enabled him to do this. Despite Vascular Dementia he is still very interested in people and really enjoys his chats with the carers. Not only is he kept safe, but they are providing invaluable company too. It's always difficult instigating care when a parent feels they don't need help, but Nest build a relationship very quickly and our initial worry that they would be dismissed on arrival each day proved unfounded as he's so happy to see them.

Review from Janette M (Cousin of Client) published on 6 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home care that Nest offers is really quite unique. Not only does it enable and facilitate clients being able to stay at home, but it also provides sensitive care and friendship to the client, especially when there is no family nearby. It offers care and continuity that other providers would be totally
unable to offer in a home-based environment. The helper appears to be matched very carefully to the Client they are visiting so that there can be empathy and professionalism offered at all times, whatever the individual needs. When I have spoken and met Nest Representatives. I have felt happy and confident that my Cousin was in the best care possible.
I know it made her look forward to their visits. and lifted her spirits, especially as she was becoming less mobile and isolated. Their Office Management and telephone service is also very helpful and efficient.

I cannot praise Nest Homecare enough. They have been caring, helpful, professional and shown compassion and great respect to my aged Aunt.
The management team have been really fantastic. So very willing and able to do all they can to assist my Aunt in any way they can. They keep me informed of any
developments and offer valued advice, guidance and assistance.
Value for money? Oh yes, 10/10!

All carers have been professional and totally reliable in their contact with my parents. They have quickly established strong, positive relationships with my parents based on mutual respect and trust. The company is very effectively managed and the welfare of the client is the main priority.

Review from Jason S (Son-in-law of Client) published on 25 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was recommended Nest Homecare by a friend who works in the community care setting.
From start to finish I’ve been very impressed with the service. The management team understood the specific needs of my father-in-law, along with his reticence to receive care of any kind, including in the home setting.
They have built a care package around his needs and were careful to involve him in the decision making.
The direct team who rotate care with my father-in-law have been excellent, and have individually built up a good rapport with him, which continues to go from strength to strength. My father-in-law has moved from not wanting people in his home, to now looking forward to their visits. He allows the carers to undertake a number of tasks that previously he refused with the local authority carers.
Nest Homecare and their field based carers provide an excellent all round care service, and I have no hesitancy in recommending the company for any individual requiring care in the home.

Review from Diana (Sister of Client) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nest Homecare have been absolutely marvellous helping us to look after my 91-year-old sister so that she has been able to stay in her home, which she loves. If Nest Homecare had not looked after her so well she would have had to go to a home.


We live 250 miles away from my sister who lives in Windsor

and so it is impossible to help her when she is in difficulties.


Nest Homecare goes several steps beyond what they are employed to do. They have helped in emergencies, such as when my sister's phone was cut off, taken her to her favourite shop when it was not in the carers hours to do so and generally become like family to her.


They are totally honest, help my sister pay her bills and we have no hesitation in letting them sort out private matters for my sister.


In short Nest Homecare are a team sent from heaven. My sister having been rather depressed is happy again and looks forward to seeing the carers who come 3 times a week.

Review from Chris B (Client) published on 20 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since appointing Nest Homecare to look after my elderly grandmother I have been relieved to find a care company that is caring and attentive to my grandmother's needs. During the initial meeting with the care manager the team were quick to understand the needs of my grandmother and have been incredibly
supportive whilst she recuperates to full health.
The carers show up on time, are warm and friendly and go the extra mile when necessary.
There is an online portal which allows us to log in and see the notes from each visit. This was new to us but has proved to be invaluable, we can monitor from a distance medications, eating patterns and general wellbeing.
Highly recommended.

My 91-year-old Mum became ill over Christmas 2017 and she is never ill, very worried about leaving her to look after herself in her beloved flat.
The manager from Nest Homecare came to see myself (son) and my Mum, we also invited another company.
The reason we chose Nest Homecare was a recommendation
from another family but mainly because they asked what we wanted and provided it!
Timings, care coverage etc, all exactly what we wanted.
Highly satisfied, and I now have peace of mind my Mum is looked after so I can go to work happy :)

All the carers who've been giving care to my grandfather have been amazing! They genuinely care and encourage him, they talk to him with kindness, assertiveness, and positivity. They always check if everything is up to his standard (they go above and beyond! and always check with us, the immediate family,
even though we have total faith and know they're doing a fantastic job!


Absolutely adore the carers and management!

From the minute we spoke to Nest Homecare it was clear that their offer was superior to other 'carers' that we had encountered.
More importantly, this expectation has been followed through to the delivery, as they have fulfilled every promise made.
Their client has received first class treatment
with dignity and compassion.
This has made the world of difference.
Thank you.
