I was not keen to ever have carers for my mum, however when she was given end of life, it became a necessity. Baxter’s came to visit to find out our exact care plan and discussed how often they would come and times to suit. Everyone who attended to my mum's needs was friendly, courteous and professional.
They made her feel at ease and spoke to us as a family too. Highly recommend them to anyone. Special mention to a specific carer, who my mum absolutely loved. He made her smile right to the end. Thank you Baxter’s you were an amazing help.

Baxter team members came to my house for three months. I needed someone desperately to help me to help my husband. Team was very good. They look after my husband very nice and carefully. They always cared for him the way it suits him. Me and my husband really appreciated their effort and help. Thank
you all and God bless you all. Thank you. With love.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my dear mum was devastatingly diagnosed with brain cancer in March this year, our whole world got turned upside down and life as we knew it has suddenly changed forever overnight. The dreadful news hit us like a ton of bricks, we all felt completely lost and helpless, not knowing where to turn
and had no idea what the future would look like or how we were going to cope. But we were thankfully blessed with the Baxters Homecare family who entered our lives and have been there for us from the very beginning by showing endless support, care, comfort and loyalty. We cannot believe how lucky we have been to have such caring, loving and kind people not only look after Mum's every single need but also provide such amazing emotional support to me, my dad and our whole family. All the carers who have looked after Mum have massively enriched our lives so much and have brought us huge amounts of joy and happiness during this very difficult and challenging time. We are forever grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
One was Dad's carer for the two weeks before he passed away peacefully, in his own home, listening to his classical music. She was Dad's full-time carer, day and night, and was absolutely brilliant with him, and Dad loved her. When the family visited and made any suggestion, such as, 'would you like
a hot water bottle?' Dad would reply, 'don't interfere, you're just a visitor now'. Our family had been caring for Dad, staying over at night and being there during the day, but we couldn't cope any longer, and we couldn't have hoped for a better carer than her. As well as being very caring and meeting Dad's every need, she was very professional, keeping in close contact with her supervisor. She enabled Dad to have a happy and comfortable final two weeks of his life, and we are very grateful to her and the team at Baxters for this.

Thank you, Emily. I will pass your kind words on to the staff. I am glad to know that the live-in care worker made a difference and follows through with our mission of caring with compassion.

Baxters Homecare provided care at home for my mum during the last few months of her life. It was such a relief and gave me peace of mind to know that she had lovely carers with her whilst I was working. The standard of care from the Baxters team, along with their caring and compassionate natures is
excellent. All of the carers are well-presented and very professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home care provider.

To the manager and all the team who supported with the double ups and waking nights at Baxters Home Care.
We wanted to thank you very much for the support you gave my husband and I. It ensured he could safely be cared for in the comfort of his own home. I could have a rest and some time away. A win-win.
From
the introduction to assessment and delivery, all the team were professional, experienced and very cheerful. This was all wrapped up in a can-do attitude.
When we first met the manager, her words were, we are good. We can honestly say this is definitely the case and the service we experienced during our 2-week respite.
We look forward to working with you in the future.
All the best.

Baxters Homecare looked after my mum in the last 3 months of her life. The standard of care and compassion was first class not only for my mum but myself as well.
I cannot recommend this company enough. It truly gave me peace of mind to know that someone kind and considerate was with my mum when I
could not be there. I will never forget their kindness and compassion - it was absolutely first class

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister and I cared for my father at home for 5 weeks - which would not have been possible without the carers helping every day - ensuring our father was comfortable. Each and every one of them was kind, considerate, polite and cheerful.
Over that period of time we got to know so many of them -
and while the focus was on our father - they were always concerned for us too.
The team at Baxter's were consistently professional with communication and we felt all our needs and requests were met.
We would highly recommend Baxter's Homecare for any family needing caring support at home.

It was a pleasure to have Baxters Homecare Ltd help us with my father during a difficult time. The staff were polite and caring and took great care of my father's needs. The staff kept us in form of any changes and also provided advice. Without their help, we could not have looked after my father at
home. A big thank you.

I cannot praise the service received from Baxters Homecare highly enough. From our first telephone conversation I felt confident and at ease with the level of caring and professionalism portrayed - this was cemented on our first physical meeting and continued thought the time of care. Each member of
the team was gentle, kind and respectful showing interest in their client with a caring nature. The care provided was premium and I would be a priority contact should we require it again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Baxter's Homecare took care of all my husband's needs from the last few days of December until the time John died on the 12th of January 2023. He had expressed the wish to stay at home and Baxter's carers made sure that his request to die at home was honoured. Two carers arrived 4 times a day and took
care of all his needs right up to the moment he actually died. He always said he wasn't in pain and I'm sure that was because the kindness, compassion and professionalism of the carers meant he always felt comfortable and cared for. It also meant the family could relax knowing that he was being so well looked after. The carers were also very kind and showed concern for members of the family and making what could have been a very sad and worrying time easier to bear.
It would be impossible to say just how grateful all our family are to Baxter's Homecare for the quite amazing and compassionate care they gave to my husband. We are just so grateful that it was the NHS who recommended them to us.

Baxters helped care for my husband in the last few months of his life. It was a really sad time for our family, however, the ladies' daily visits were welcomed. During those dark days, there were snippets of my husband's cheerful side as you would often hear him laughing with the ladies. They were kind
and gentle, very smart in their presentation and nothing was ever too much. I would definitely recommend them

The Baxters Homecare Team helped care for my wife for the last three weeks of her life, helping to fulfil the family's promise to her that she would be able to die at home. Without Baxters that would have been very difficult to achieve. They took a huge burden and responsibility off my shoulders.
Each
and every member of staff who attended my wife three times a day were courteous, caring, supremely professional and above all kind. I and my family will be forever grateful for their gentle compassion.
Thank you all.

Baxters Homcare's team cared for my husband for a year as he battled with motor neurone disease until he sadly passed away. I cannot fault their expertise, professionalism and the care they provided. Not only did they provide the care he needed to an extremely high standard, which made him feel safe
and comfortable in his own home, they made him laugh and he enjoyed their company which was important to his quality of life. Our carers were very supportive and kind to me as well and always considerate. I view them as friends. I cannot praise them enough and highly recommend them for the superb care they provide.

The Baxter’s Team provided home care for our daughter as she recovered from major spinal surgery. Our daughter has complex special needs. The team were extremely professional and flexible, integrating into our house effortlessly whilst still providing very professional care for our daughter during her
recovery. They kept her entertained and engaged to prevent her focussing on her discomfort. They were also very mindful that they were in our house and sought to adapt their work to work with us. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Baxter's provided home care for my wife for nearly 4-years (from May 2018 to January 2022) as she underwent a slow decline from Primary Progressive MS. (She has now moved to a new residential facility, which Baxter's have recently opened). I have always found the service professional and well organised
- for instance, the care plan is fully online and easy for all staff to access. The manager is extremely diligent in monitoring service performance and proactive in suggesting changes that may be needed. The carers are fantastic - not only well trained and supportive, but above all, kind, and that has made a huge difference to my wife's palliative journey. As someone who is paralysed and has limited communication, she is completely reliant on 24x7 support, and it is only through their efforts that she could stay at home for so long and in reasonable comfort.

Baxters Homecare provided support for our terminally ill mother during the nights over a 4 week period. It was hard for us as a family to care for her during the day and also at night. It gave us the much break we needed. We had two named staff who were caring and attentive, we cannot fault their care.

  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
