I get on with the girls really well, they help where needed. The little things they help with, without me asking them to. I have asked for an increase for an extra shower day a week which they have accommodated.

Reply from Jason Smith, Director at Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care

We are always delighted to hear about how well our team are doing and that you value them so much. I will be sure to pass on this feedback to the carers.

Overall Experience
Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care started with my mother twice a day about two months ago and I've got to say there has been a noticeable improvement with her general mood and also her ability to maintain her independence. Mum thoroughly enjoys the company of the carers that visit and in her words, 'enjoys the company, a laugh and a giggle!'. The carers are reliable and friendly and all extra help they give is definitely appreciated.

Carefour staff really do make the world of difference! Highly recommended!

We contacted Carefour Home Care and Live-in Care to arrange care for my elderly mother. The communication from start to finish was amazing. The manager talked through all the details and explained the process making sure everything was handled to our liking. She answered all the queries I had promptly and made sure we were happy with everything. I felt it was about putting my mother as a priority, something that was very important to us as a family. The care that has been provided has been excellent and offers us comfort that all is well with our mother when we can't be near her. She has commented on how much she enjoys the ladies' company and support. Thank you very much Carefour.

Overall Experience

After having a poor experience with another provider I was recommended Carefour Home Care by a family friend when looking for a care package for my elderly aunt. Throughout the whole process, and from my initial contact, the Carefour team could not have been any more helpful, answering all my (sometimes trivial) questions and putting my mind totally at ease and as a result, I am now confident that a dear family member is receiving the valuable care that she deserves and needs. Thank you Carefour, I will definitely be recommending you.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, we appreciate you taking the time to do so.

I started using Carefour Home Care when I wanted to visit friends for 4 nights. My daughters 'found' Carefour and a charming lady was provided to look after my husband who suffers from dementia and very poor mobility. I could not have been more pleased with the service provided by the carer and all the admin staff. I will definitely be using Carefour in the future.

Reply from Jason Smith, Director at Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care

We are so pleased you found our live-in care service so helpful for both yourself and your husband. We are very grateful for your kind words and I will be passing these onto the care team. We are here for any further help in the future and will happily assist.

Review from E S (Client / Service User) published on 4 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Unfortunately, I was not very happy with the care agency I was discharged from hospital with and was having panic attacks at night thinking about them coming the next day. So we informed the social worker that I wanted to change agencies and my mum phoned Carefour and spoke to the manager who said they had capacity and she was able to come out that afternoon (this was before lockdown). We instantly got a really good feeling, and I was so excited about starting with Carefour. All of the carers have been really lovely - they are so bubbly and chatty and are also excellent carers in helping me. The only reason I am leaving CareFour is because I am going back to the in-house carers where I live as they now have capacity. I cannot recommend CareFour highly enough for anyone needing care in the community. Thank you so much to all of your lovely carers.

From the moment I phoned Carefour to see if they had capacity to provide care to my daughter, I was impressed. The manager came out to assess and I immediately had confidence in the ability of the agency to provide sensitive, person-centred care. I was not wrong, they provided excellent care calls, four times a day from March to the present day.

From the initial visit by management and senior carer, we have received exceptional care from the team. The carers come punctually and treat mum with gentle care, respectfully and with good humour. She has become very fond of several of them and now sees them as friends. Also, the timings of the carers visits have been adjusted over time to fit in with mums preferences, so giving her care tailored precisely to her needs.

Review from Stephen J (Client / Service User) published on 19 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

CareFour is the most professional and trustworthy care team I have used on various occasions. They are always punctual and on very rare occasions a few minutes late always an apology if this happens. If not a quick phone call to say they are on the way. On my latest contract, I ended the visits one too early. This was for the important evening visit for a hot meal and to secure the property for the night. After a quick call to the office, a carer made a special journey to help me out. Without this special help, I would have gone hungry and felt unsafe overnight. I can not praise the company enough and will certainly employ them in the future. No reasonable request is refused.

Reply from Jason Smith, Director at Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care

Our whole team will be delighted with your very generous and kind comments about the service we provide. It is our ethos to put the 'Care' firmly into home care and this is always delivered by our friendly care team and management who strive to go over and above. Thank you once again.

After my husband selected Carefour and I saw the quality of service provided I felt fully assured that I could go on holiday with friends knowing that my husband would be well cared for. Of the staff I have met, I found them to be friendly and knowledgeable. My husband is most happy and classes all Carefour staff as friends as opposed to business contractors.

My passion for delivering the best possible care comes in many guises. From ensuring our carers are well paid and trained and are carefully matched to our clients, to investing in the latest technology which streamlines our business allowing more time to focus on our people and customers.

I am proud to have been with Carefour from the beginning and I instantly shared the vision of the owners to create a caring, compassionate and safe business, which would look after clients and staff alike. Having been a carer myself, I have the experience and knowledge to know how to advise and support people.

From our very first contact with you, we take the time to learn about you, your background, likes and dislikes and requirements in order to understand what the best package of care would be. We then carefully match the perfect care team for you, to provide the level of support I would expect myself. We work in partnership with you and can adapt as your requirements change.

Our COVID-19 safety practices are always in line with the latest guidance, our PPE stocks are ample and ongoing training for our care team means that you or a loved one will be safe in our care.
