AVH Care

Hard-working, genuinely caring, empathetic, professional carers. The client and family are at the heart of the company. The carers go above and beyond all expectations. Dignity and self-respect of the client is paramount at all times. Cared for my husband for several years - always arrived with a smile. High standards of confidentiality, record keeping and professionalism. Excellent company to care for a loved one.

My father was diagnosed with secondary brain cancer in January. It was sudden and within days he was sent home with an NHS continuous care plan. Two male carers from AVH Care visited four times a day until he died. I wish I could name them. They formed a close friendship with my father and treated him with the dignity he deserved. His brain cancer meant that he struggled to speak. Yet he was a highly articulate man who regularly preached; taught A level students; and published books. I will always remember them. They did everything to build up my dad's confidence and reassure him, they showed nothing but the best of human kindness and compassion. On the day my dad died one came by - he didn't need to. They could not accept gifts and would not, so my sister and I donated money to the local Hospice instead and mentioned them. We want to thank them for being there for our father who has lived through so much in his life and who did not deserve to die so young. They were like family too.

The manageress goes way beyond the call of duty and if anyone was ever unsure I would be more than happy to recommend. My Mum is the most precious person in my life, and I feel extremely lucky that we managed to find someone so efficient, kind and caring who treats the person you want with such respect.
