I am very happy with the care I receive from Radfield and it is important to me to have the same three carers when possible. Radfield ensure my needs are met. My care coordinator is easy to contact and responds to my needs and wants and is very warm and caring. My regular three carers are the ones I
want to keep.They are all lovely and 'go above and beyond' to help. I would definitely recommend Radfield to anyone and would not dream of going elsewhere.

Very happy with the level of care provided by Radfield and their carers. We contacted them following a personal recommendation and have not been disappointed. Nothing is too much trouble and they provide such as wide range of help, domestic support , medication etc that everything is now dealt with
by one organisation which is incredibly handy. Thank you!

My mum and dad have been receiving care from Radfield for over a year. The whole experience has been very possible and we continue to be impressed by the team and how they have adapted as our parents needs have changed. One of the most reassuring things for me is knowing they have an assigned case manager
who oversees the carers. I can contact them by email or phone and any issues are picked up straight away. As an example, my mum had a urine infection and as soon as the carer noticed this the case manager was straight onto it and arranged a sample to be taken to the GP. I'm sorry to say I just don't have the time to drop everything and respond like this but within 24hrs mum had started antibiotics. Mum was soon on the mend and without this quick response she could have got a lot worse. A marvellous service that goes far beyond the visits which are always delivered on time and with care. Thank you!

Radfield has been a constant in our lives for over 2 years. Despite bad weather, numerous road closures and our rural location, they have never let us down. The company recognise the importance of continuity of care and en-devour to ensure that a group of regular carers attend to my husbands needs.
He has dementia, is now bed bound and largely non-verbal, so carers who are familiar to him and are familiar with his needs are very important. He is treated with sensitivity and empathy, he appreciates the way he is talked to. Radfield is not cheap, but is good value. To be recommend.

My 96 year old aunt was discharged home from hospital 4 weeks ago. She is very frail and we do not live nearby. Radfield carers visit four times a day and provide all of my aunt's care needs.
Without exception, the carers are friendly, respectful, punctual and efficient. I have experience of working
in adult social care and know this is not always the case. As a family we are just grateful to feel reassured that she is being well cared for and that the service is totally reliable. In addition the manager frequently supports us with additional tasks such as liaising with district nurses and GP as well as supporting us when we are transporting her to hospital appointments.
We want to thank Radfield staff and carers for the excellent service you all provide and I would not hesitate to recommend your agency.

I just wanted to say thank you from the whole team for writing such a lovely review. I'm so glad we have been able to support your aunt in so many ways and that the services has met your needs and expectations. Thank you once again, I will share your kind words with the team.

The care provided for our mother by Radfield Home Care was of the highest quality for care, attention to detail, kindness, cleanliness and everything! The staff used their own initiative, checking Mum’s skin and if needed, would moisturise and many other small gestures that made a big difference. They
were very good at writing in the book we left out for communicating if we weren’t there and their manner with our mother was respectful and friendly, always finding time to have a chat with and showing an interest in her garden and family. They packed a lot into their allotted time but never seemed rushed. All very reassuring that our mother was in the best hands.

I have found all the carers very kind and helpful. They are so willing to do whatever I need at all times. My two regular carers have become very good friends of mine and we enjoy a short chat at the end of their visits about items of interest that we have in common. They come just in the early mornings.
I am 95 years old and still living at home alone. I could not manage without their daily visits.

At the start of my sister's illness, when we were doing our best to cope at home, your help was invaluable when you were called several times urgently at unsociable hours of the day. Don't think I thanked you before, but do so now with many thanks and gratitude.
Where my carers are concerned, one is
exceptional in showing lots of initiative and caring. Others vary but must be pretty good, but feel some need more training.

Very happy with the service from Radfield Home Care. All the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. No problems with punctuality and the team is small enough to ensure my mum sees the same faces regularly. Would highly recommend if you are looking for care for elderly parents.

Radfield have been extremely helpful in supporting my mother and father at home. They had been struggling for a while and once we gave them a call, the assessment was arranged quickly and (very helpful when dealing with parents who keep changing their minds about having help!), and the service started
within a few days. The team have respected my parent's wishes whilst also encouraging them to have help where needed. I don’t think many elderly people want to accept they need help or that their children might not be the best people to provide it. Radfield have been very understanding of how delicate the situation is and I have been very impressed with all the little touches to help smooth the way. Thank you everyone for what you have done.

This was the first time I have ever asked for help and I was unsure what to expect, I must say, I was more than pleased with my time with these lovely people. They always came on time with smiles on their faces willing to help in any way they could. If I needed help again, I would go to Radfield and
would tell my friends to do so too.
