Mum is very happy with the care she receives on a daily basis during a traumatic period in her life. The staff make time to chat to her to make her comfortable while carrying out the tasks requested. No hesitation in recommending Faiths Care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Faiths care stepped in, from a very traumatic and upsetting experience with a bad care agency resulting in me having to provide my mums care myself. My mum is now happier and settled and I no longer have to worry or intervene in her care. All staff that have visited mum are friendly, caring, respectful
and very good at their job, mum trusts them completely and is making excellent progress in her rehab after surgery , now she is very settled. Mum is fiercely independent and she doesn't feel patronised or at all concerned, she quite often talks to me about the conversations she has with the carers etc. I would highly recommend this agency for their outstanding commitment to their clients physical and mental wellbeing, their friendly can do approach and for giving me peace of mind knowing my mum is safe and in very capable caring hands. From the thorough risk assessment and management involvement to ensure things are going well, which is very reassuring, keep up the good work Team

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent care providers - finally found after a multitude of very inferior and dangerous providers. They all take pride in their work - are punctual - don't hesitate to wash, clean and care for Mum in a dignified manner. Mum has Dementia which means a lot of repetitiveness, which each carer listens
to like they've heard it the first time. they share their own lives with her so Mum knows about them as well which is good for interaction. They are very flexible with my needs to and support if I need to make any adjustments. Additionally they have dealt promptly and professionally when Mum has been unwell - even preventing a stroke from worsening by spotting tell tale signs. I cannot fault this company, my only regret is that I didn't have them sooner. Simply brilliant.

My mum who is 99 needs help at home so she can stay independent. We had one or two teething problems at the beginning because we had never had carers for my mum before, but these were sorted out immediately. My mum really likes her carers and they are so good with her. I would not hesitate to recommend
Faithcare. Thank you for giving us the piece of mind we need.

I was very pleased how well my wife was looked after over several months. The carers were efficient, cheerful and compassionate, and my wife was very happy with them. I always had a weekly schedule sent to me by email, and if the carers were delayed I was told by phone how soon they would arrive, which,
at meal times, was essential. Thank you.

The carers do a difficult job. I have always found them polite, caring and helpful. They are always willing to do whatever household chores I ask of them. Some show more initiative than others but that is human nature.

Faiths Care offer outstanding service. Always available and any issues are dealt with smoothly and efficiently. Carers are kind, compassionate and supportive. They encourage my relatives and are always going over and above what is expected of them. The management team are very 'hands on' and always
ready help. They have a huge breadth of knowledge and are happy to share with service users and their families.

Review from Maggie L (Daughter of Client) published on 21 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Faith's looked after Mum from the early stages when she needed just one care visit a day, providing basic care, through to her end-of-life care some months later.
The greater Mum's needs grew, and the more we as a family needed the right help in taking care of Mum, the greater Faith's responded to
those needs. In the last 3 months of Mum's life when she needed 4 care visits a day, with regular telephone calls to and from the family, the more the wonderful staff and management at Faith's responded. As NHS healthcare staff also became involved in Mum's end-of-life care, Faith's worked tirelessly to keep communication going smoothly, doing whatever was necessary to keep Mum safe and comfortable.
Faith's management and staff cannot be praised highly enough. I don't know how we would have managed without them. They became a lifeline for Mum and for the family. I shall always be grateful for the dedication, commitment and care they gave to us and to Mum.

Faiths carers provided care for my mother for several months. The carers who visited her were fab! So kind, friendly, professional and caring. She needed emergency assistance on a couple of occasions and the carers knew exactly what to do, remained calm and stayed with her until they knew she was cared
for, ensuring that other clients were attended to so that they could stay with her. No matter when I contacted the office I was always listened to and nothing was too much trouble. My mother was treated with dignity and respect, she really looked forward to their visits. We were very grateful for their care and love. Mum is now in a care home, she said the one thing she misses about being in her own home is Faiths carers. Thank you.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.928 for Faiths Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.928

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Faiths Care Ltd is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
