Review from Ian T (Son of Client) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
1 Oak Home Care could not have been better. All their staff have, unfailingly, been kind, considerate, professional and very caring in the care they have given Dad over the past few weeks and the family appreciate it greatly. In addition, and very importantly, 1 Oak has been easy to contact and very responsive to Dad’s changing needs for which I’m very grateful.

I would not hesitate to recommend 1 Oak to anyone needing in-home care.

Reply from Angel Clark, Director at 1 Oak Home Care

Many thanks for the wonderful review! It’s great to see the team have adapted and supported your father and your family throughout the changes in needs.

Overall Experience

1 Oak Home Care has been just what my dad and our family needed at a time of deep upset and uncertainty. They came to us with the utmost professionalism and went above and beyond to understand my dad’s needs, wants and wishes. They put us both at ease and made building strong relationships a focus. They are kind, considerate and thoughtful. They are highly trained compared to other care agencies and do their utmost to meet my dad’s wishes. Dad feels happy and comfortable with the 1 Oak staff. As Dad’s family, I have been informed of everything I need to know along the way and they have been very thorough in managing his medications. We happily recommend 1 Oak to anyone in need of care.

Overall Experience

1 Oak Home Care is simply one of the best care companies that I have ever seen. The constant top-quality that they provide, not only to my partner but to myself as well, is amazing. The compassion that each caregiver shows is incredible and has made having them at our house a genuine pleasure, something that I thought nigh impossible due to my special needs but they work so well with myself and my partner that it has become a wonderful interaction that we look forward to each day. I can say with all certainty that our lives have been so very much improved since the day that they began coming to help care for my partner and we don't know where we would be if it weren't for the wonderful people going above and beyond each working day to make everything so much easier.

Overall Experience

I’m very happy with the service provided by 1 Oak Home Care. On the whole, the carers have been kind, caring, willing and generally simpatico! Naturally, I have my favourites but, having said that, I don’t think there has been a single one that I didn’t think was professional, well-trained and nice. In some cases, they seem quite dedicated to their jobs.

I was very concerned about having a carer, but one of the staff, in particular, put me at ease. We have established a routine that works well. Regular visits, both day and time are important and these have been established and are working well. Thank you.

1 Oak Home Care Bury St Edmunds have been providing care to my mum for around the last month. From the first contact from the office to now, we have found them to be very efficient, polite and the quality of care my mum has received has been outstanding. The carers are punctual, kind and supportive and have made a huge difference to our family. Would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a care provider.

Overall Experience

From the initial contact with the manager of 1 Oak, I have been extremely happy with the care and attention to detail provided by each of the carers who visit my parents every day. Nothing is too much trouble, the carers are always punctual and polite and they ensure that the individual needs are met in a very caring and considerate manner. From previous experience with other care agencies in the past, I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Overall Experience

At all times, I have been treated with care and consideration. When I have been upset, they have shown empathy and never, at any time, have they made me feel that I was a bother. They never rush me or make me feel that I am taking too long, especially when I am on the commode. There is always a smile on their faces. I would recommend them in a heartbeat for their professionalism, care and consideration.

Review from Clare T (Daughter of Client) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My parents both have dementia and have struggled to accept care. It has been a very difficult time for them, with a huge range of emotions, including anger. 1 Oak Homecare have been a saviour for us all. Their carer is calm, clear and so patient. She has had some very challenging times but managed to work with them, to gain their trust. She talks to my mum rather than about my mum, including her in decisions; treating both my parents with dignity. We all feel that everyone involved in their care at 1 Oak Homecare has my parents' interest as a priority, we are so lucky to have found them. Thank you so much for everything you all do.

Overall Experience

My parents both have dementia and have been very challenging for the people who offer them care. They have struggled with acceptance of their state and it is so sad to have seen them so obviously unhappy. Their illnesses result in constant mood changes and difficulties, in addition to their declining physical health. The care they have received with 1Oak home care has been outstanding; patient, understanding, clear and calm. They have gained trust for their main carer, although their illness can make them extremely suspicious at times. We feel lucky to have found someone as professional as their carer, she is amazing.

Overall Experience

1 Oak has been caring for my grandmother for 3 years, she is now bed-bound after a fall last year. The care and respect that she receives are exceptional. The carers know that she loves music so always play music to her through their phones, singing with her. One of the favourites is Over the Rainbow. I can't thank all the girls enough for going that extra mile to show so much compassion for my 102-year-old nan.

Can't praise these guys enough - always arrived at the time stated and stayed for the whole time, sometimes even longer if they didn't have another call to go to. Always made sure my nan had everything she needed and that she was happy before they left. Treated her with a great deal of respect. I would highly recommend. 5 stars!

1 Oak has been supporting my mother since March of this year. I cannot express how professional, kind and caring all of the staff are they, keep in touch with me if ever needed. They ensure my mother is treated in a person-centred manner respecting her dignity and preferences. I thank every staff member for their kindness and compassion shown to my mother. I have recommended 1 Oak to many people already. 1 Oak is truly a unique care providing company.
