Overall Experience

I am pleased with my care by the carers. We get on well together, chat and laugh., Sometimes they are the only people I speak to in a day as I live alone. The treatment I need is done properly as well as the jobs needed to be done.

Overall Experience

EDS provide home care, shopping, and companionship services for my sister. They are very reliable and the carers I have met have been very friendly. The service has been to a very good standard. And little things like sharing photos and vidios of my sister's trips have been great. While there have been a few growing pains, the staff have been extremely responsive in helping sort these out and we work well together.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you very much for this review, we know how much your sister enjoys her trips out and we are very happy to be able to be a part of that and enable that to happen. We pride ourselves on being responsive to anything that comes up, no matter how big or small.

Review from D H (Son of Client) published on 24 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My sister and I have always found EDS Homecare to be a very caring, reliable and honest provider of home care services for my elderly mother. They have always been there when we have needed to contact them sometimes urgently and have always acted professionally and with care and the utmost discretion. The customer portal is also very useful for us to check on Mum's visit and provides us with the reassurance that she is receiving the care she requires. They have also been very flexible when amending time slots when requested and also proactive when informing us about a situation Mum is in, this may be just for info or a more major issue i.e. when she may have fallen. We are very happy with the service provided and would recommend them to anyone looking for care services.

The home care services supplied by EDS for my mother have been excellent. Their carers have always attended to my mother's daily needs and if any issues have arisen during a visit I have been contacted and appropriately informed. Based on my experiences I would wholeheartedly recommend EDS Homecare.

The EDS Home Care Team are excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Very good timekeeping, always do whatever is in the care plan and often go above and beyond to help. There is no comparison to some of the other companies we have dealt with. Definitely number 1 on my list.

The care given is second to none. Helpful, positive, cheerful. Take time to talk to me and also helped me to walk after coming out of the hospital, along with the physio. Nothing is too much for them. They put a smile back on my sister's face.

Review from Sheryl G (Granddaughter of Client) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My step-granddad is a happier person now that he is in receipt of care from trained personnel. He tells me how much he likes the carers who visit him and enjoys chatting with them. He was very against having any kind of professional help, but from the first visit, his reactions have been very positive.

From my point of view, EDS have been very thorough in their care of my relative and their attention to detail is great. They are in regular contact with me and advise as soon as anything is noticed or needs action from me. They respond very quickly to my emails/phone calls and are happy to change/add to my granddad's daily care plan.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you for the amazing review. EDS is so glad that your step-grandad enjoys his care visits and is reacting so positively to this change in circumstances. We always alert relatives of anything that needs to be raised and are responsive to changing client needs, as we know no two days are ever the same.

Review from Giles H (Son of Client) published on 13 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
EDS are caring, professional, responsive and flexible. Our dad has vascular dementia and has always been independent, so the move from PA to a complete care package with EDS was a big step for us all.
Dad’s happy, has company for trips out for a meal, pint or staying in and watching the TV. His house is clean, and clothes laundered, and takes better self-care, all thanks to EDS.

My brother and I are very happy that Dad still has a high degree of independence with the assurance that many risks are mitigated.

Thank you for this lovely review- EDS know the switch to home care can be a difficult and scary time, so we are very pleased that this has been so beneficial for your dad.

The carers have been great. They always treat mum and dad with respect and dignity. We have a variation of about 20 cares and it's difficult to remember their name. We would much appreciate name tags clearly displayed on their tunics. Thank you all for your service.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you very much for this lovely review - a package of care for 2 double-handed clients requiring complex moving and handling 4 times a day is likely to see many different faces, but we are happy they are treated with dignity and respect. Your parents are a pleasure to care for, a lovely couple.

Review from Sarah F (Daughter of Client) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Overall my mum received a good service from EDS. She had a good relationship with a few of the regular carers but latterly they were moved to different areas so continuity was absent. I think it is important where possible for people to have the same regular carers, who know the client's needs, without having to constantly look in the book. Obviously, there were a few niggles here and there but overall the service was good.

Reply from Martyna Wisniewska, Business Services Assistant at EDS Homecare

Thank you for this nice review- as I'm sure you are aware, covering a rural area and ensuring the same staff can be difficult but we are happy that your mum's overall experience with EDS was a positive one.

EDS Homecare looked after my dad right up until he went into a care home, all the carers were very kind and supportive. It was very reassuring to know he was being so well looked after. Dad would often be quite stubborn but the carers always encourage him. If there was an issue we would be contacted straight away.
