Overall Experience

Since Mum was diagnosed with dementia over a year ago, she has been getting up to four visits each day from EDS staff. The visits make a really positive difference to mum, ensuring she takes her medication, eats regularly, has plenty of social contact and is able to keep on top of chores around the house. It's also hugely comforting to get online updates after each visit that reassures me that Mum is ok. The carers who visit are all fantastic and genuinely care about Mum. They've struck up a relationship that's part care, part friendship and it works really well. The central team at EDS are brilliant, cooperative, responsive, flexible, equally caring and extremely professional. I am so grateful for everything EDS do and would be at a loss without their outstanding service. I'd thoroughly recommend them to anyone in need of care for a family member.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you for your kind and detailed review of our services. It is extremely appreciated and we are very pleased that your mum has built up a positive relationship with her care staff. We also greatly appreciate the recognition for our office staff, who work really hard behind the scenes to ensure our clients, such as your mum, receive the best service possible. Thank you again!

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the care that I receive. My carers put me at ease when they come to me with their happy faces and know what they are doing and meeting all my needs. The carers always ask how I am and what I have been doing with myself during the day and I tell them because I was shy to start with, having had no carers before, so it was all new to me. I am ok with all who come. My sister is very pleased with the service and that they always make me a drink, to make sure I keep drinking which I have been told to do.

Thank you so much for your kind review, it is amazing to hear that you are comfortable and happy with our care despite this being a new experience for you, and that your family have also noticed the positive impacts of our service. Thank you again!

Overall Experience
I witnessed how much care and respect given to my Father from the team, particularly whilst he was dying. My father wanted to die at home and EDS supported him with his wish. I also felt that the team was supporting me, it was hard to see my father slowly dying and feeling hopeless at managing the situation but EDS, always made him comfortable showing me things I could do to help.
Knowing they would be coming roughly every 4 hours during the day, having their company, humour and knowledge helped me cope with a challenge I never had wanted to do and I was terrified of, I will always be eternally grateful.

I can't remember when EDS started supporting my Father to stay at home, but the visits and support were greatly appreciated by him, they became his friends, he admired how hard they worked and their dedication.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you ever so much for your wonderful review - we are truly honoured that we were able to support you and your father during such a challenging time and that our hard-working staff were able to make a tough time that little bit easier for you. Thank you so much, again.

Recently the experience with EDS has been good. They have been able to accommodate additional care for my Mother whilst I was away which was fantastic.

I'd recently asked for a tweak to call times and I was promised this as soon as rotas allowed which has now happened, really grateful.

My husband was discharged from hospice at his request for end of life care. We chose EDS as his service provider based on their excellent reviews and proximity to us. We were not disappointed. The care provided by the whole team was beyond our expectations. His care needs were extensive, but the team ensured all needs and more were fully met. I am extremely grateful for their services at such a difficult time.

Overall Experience
EDS Homecare have provided morning carers for my elderly father since he had a stroke in 2021, and they have continued to provide more support as time has moved on. They are always professional, caring, and the team in the office are always very responsive and supportive.
My Dad recently had a fall, ended up in hospital and has needed additional support to get him back on his feet. EDS were able to respond at very short notice and were able to provide an extra care visit at the end of each day as he wasn't strong enough to be able to get ready for bed himself.
Living 200 miles away, working full time and needing support for Dad, I can't express enough how grateful I am that EDS were able to step in. All of the carers have been wonderful.

My Dad is very grateful, especially as he has managed to keep his independence.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that we have consistently enabled your dad to balance his independence with safe and responsive care. As always, we are very proud of our care team for the brilliant work they put in to build positive connections with service users. Thank you again!

Overall Experience

We needed a care provider to step in at short notice when my mother was discharged back to home after a spell in hospital/therapy bed. EDS were very professional and empathetic right from the off and quickly put in place a care plan, accommodating mum's needs perfectly. Never having had carers before, it was important that the care team hit it off with mum, and they have all been great. After a very challenging time in her life, EDS are doing a great job helping mum settle in to the "new normal". The culture and "family feel" of the business comes through.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you ever so much for your lovely review. We often provide packages of care at short notice and are therefore proud to enable people to come home as per their wishes. We are also extremely pleased that a time full of change and uncertainty for your mum, has been made easier by our wonderful caring staff. Thank you again!

Overall Experience

When diagnosed with a terminal illness who should you call. My mother in this case was diagnosed with bowel cancer which is progressive. With a second parent with cancer and mental illness who could we turn to. Never before have we been in such a terrible situation. My wife and I work full time with a young family so how could we look after both parents and keep the family needs afloat. Well after researching the internet for potential companies that were able to help with the daily tasks of attending, bathing, preparing meals, assisting with domestic chores. We are pleased and very thankful that we found EDS. From the initial meeting to qualify our needs, to the immediate care provided from some of the most wonderful care assistance available. We haven't looked back. The dedication, professionalism, empathy and resilience from each member of the team has been unquestionable. The support has allowed my family to relax in the knowledge that the job in hand would get done.

ESD Homecare are consistently reliable, efficient and friendly. I am very pleased with their care of my husband who has Parkinson's Disease and PSP and needs hoisting and fully body care.

They even managed to provide a brilliant service during a prolonged period of snow and ice when we had local roads closed. Office staff communicate well and frequently.

Review from Melanie D (Daughter of Client) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Generally mum and I are very pleased with the care she receives. The girls mostly are very polite and friendly, and occasional one is a bit abrupt and not chatty. However they are all professional and carry out all the jobs efficiently. The office is also very professional. My only issue is for mum who is starting to have memory issues, is the number of different people who attend some 15 different girls throughout the month some only once or twice which mum struggles with recalling if they have been before. (I appreciate holiday and sick leave cover can make this difficult for the office). As I said once here the girls are all very good and happy to help with anything needed. Mum always thanks them as they leave as she likes to see them. Thank you
