Radfield Home Care really looked after my mother had a fall and broke her arm. It was easy to get the support setup so that Mum had some help preparing meals, washing up and changing her bed sheets. The staff have been very friendly and helpful when I've met them.

Radfield looked after my grandmother. She had visits every day to wash, dress and go out for drives. Our family could see what they had got up to on the app which was a real peace of mind as she has dementia and would often not remember! I would recommend Radfield to anyone looking for care for their
family.

Following surgery on my left shoulder and a broken clavicle on the right, I was in desperate need of help. As soon as I contacted Radfield, I knew I would be looked after. The office staff are understanding and helpful, and the carers are amazing. Although I no longer need personal care, I maintain
contact with one hour a week for cleaning and company.

I have found it a great help to have someone take me shopping each week and especially to push the shopping trolley as I have arthritis in my shoulders. My career often cheers me up and puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With both of my parents suffering from dementia and me and my brother living two hours away from our parents I knew they needed help but I did not want to send them to a home, which brought me to Radfield Home Care.
I filled out the form on the website giving some information as to the situation and
received a response the same day. The Director of Radfield Home Care had a phone conversation with me the following morning and I could tell there was a real want there to ensure that somebody requiring care does not need to leave their house and move to a home.
I met a staff member with my mother at home and we went over the requirements, she was obviously passionate and caring about her work and put my confused mother at ease with the plans.
Within days we had everything aligned and the care visits began without a hitch. Radfield ensure my parents are eating and also taking medication whilst also being a companion and also taking them shopping as my dad can no longer drive!
Reply from Samuel Holmes, Director at Radfield Home Care Bexhill, Hastings & Battle

Thank you for leaving such a detailed review. It is very helpful for both, and people reading reviews to understand the process from your perspective and how we have supported you and your parents.

What a fantastic team Radfield are, from the Manager to the office team, a true credit to the care staff, they are all very supportive of all my friend's care needs who has had a stroke and has lost the use of her left side, they keep in regular contact with her via the telephone and app, she is able
to see who is visiting her on a daily basis through this app, which is peace of mind for her. She is very well looked after from hygiene to general housekeeping. They are very reliable, trustworthy and extremely friendly. She has two visits a day and looks forward to them coming. Very professional team, who treat her with dignity and patience. Highly recommend Radfield as your first stop for any care needs. First Class.

Review from Ann B (Daughter of Client) published on 7 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found Radfield Home Care to be outstanding in their care of my mother. All aspects of the company, management, support staff and carers have exceeded my expectations, which were high. My parents were reluctant to accept care being mostly concerned about the effect on their privacy and having
strangers in their home.
Radfield have worked hard to make this necessary transition a good one and, when I asked my parents this week, both said that they are very pleased that they had accepted the help. They regard the carers, who are limited to a few to enable continuity of care and who they know, in advance, by name, will be attending on each day, as friends.
The support staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, especially in the first weeks when the tweaking of times was necessary.
I highly recommend this company,

It has been great peace of mind having Radfield visit my mother each morning to monitor and give her the medication she needs as I was never sure whether she was taking them as required despite asking her on the phone, due to her Alzheimer's. They have addressed the day to day care needs including personal
hygiene and have been a friendly face in the morning when my mum wouldn't normally see anyone until later in the day. I am considering an afternoon visit from Radfield as well. I can highly recommend them to anyone contemplating care for a family member.

Radfield looked after my Mum in Bexhill. All the staff were polite and caring towards her. She looked forward to seeing them and we were very happy with the care they provided. I would recommend them to someone needing care for an elderly relative. They do not take over and let the people do what they
can for themselves while keeping them safe.

Radfield cared for my brother for over a year before he died. Over the course of this time, he needed an ever-increasing amount of help and would often call them for more help at short notice. They always did all the could for him, and he had a very good relationship with a couple of their staff. Thank
you for all you did for him.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I met your brother several times and he was such a nice man. I will pass on your regards to the carers.

Job Title: Director Joined: 2017

With a background in adult social work, I have helped many older people live at home for as long and as independently as possible.


My career has been tremendously rewarding and inspired me to launch Radfield Home Care across Bexhill, Hastings & Battle.


The professional achievement I am most proud of is to have listened to people and prioritised their individual wishes when planning care. This approach is central to the way in which Radfield operates and ensures all our clients retain as much independence as possible.
