I have found Carefour very good in all ways and it helps me a lot. On odd occasions, I'm not sure who is coming but someone always comes. My husband has a good relationship with all carers.

Face to face practical care is excellent. Care plan only completed after 3 months of care. Not always notified of the time of arrival - varies between 8:30 and 9:15 am.

Overall Experience

I have been very pleased with all the staff that work with me, they all treat me with respect and dignity, I can get out and about, I can also stay independent with them helping me with things and they do not take over. They are easy to talk with no matter what it's about. Their paperwork is easy to understand and if I don't agree with anything I know who to talk to and they are happy to go through it with me. They are better than any company I have had before.

Our team will be delighted by your lovely feedback and I will be sure to pass it on in our next newsletter to them. We are very grateful for you taking the time to give us this review and we are so thrilled that our standard of care, for you, exceeds your expectations of care companies in general.

Review from Sara B (Granddaughter of Client) published on 3 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Carefour highly enough. They provided fantastic care and support to my 96-year-old grandmother who was deaf and had vascular dementia. They helped the family to plan for my grandmother's discharge from hospital and provided a carer who was perfectly suited to her needs. We had tried several other care agencies and none of them could come close to the quality of care, and compassion, that Carefour provided. I was particularly impressed by the support and genuine concern that the management team showed the carer and how the whole team worked together to ensure my grandmother had the best possible care. I know that without Carefour we would not have been able to get my grandmother home and that due to this she was at peace in her final days. On behalf of all of the family, a sincere heartfelt thank you for the wonderful service that you provide.

Reply from Leann Sainsbury, at Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care

Thank you for your kind words, it was a privilege to care for your grandmother and to support the family. We are so pleased to have honoured her final wishes. We will be sure to let the care team know, they will be touched by your sentiments.

Overall Experience

Carefour are a cut above the rest. My daughter has just completed her first year at University living away from home for the first time. Without the professionalism of this care agency, this would not have been possible. How they manage to recruit and employ so many reliable, kind, professional and compatible carers is simply brilliant. Rarely do you come across such a well run company.

Review from Tony S (Husband of Client) published on 19 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The company has a consistent approach to the care process which in turn leads to a much calmer patient. A number of small suggestions have been made and adopted which have also helped my wife to be more receptive to all the staff.

Suggestions on use of equipment, previously unused, have also contributed to a smooth running process that we currently enjoy at care time. Managers make regular visits where the overall process can be reviewed as to the level of success. They do what they say - great.

Reply from Leann Sainsbury, at Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care

We are so pleased you are happy with your care team and the care you are receiving.

Overall Experience

The care I received was following discharge from hospital. Management visited me in my own home and after discussion, a care plan was agreed. Carers arrived on time, they were efficient, kind and treated me with dignity. I could not fault the service they provided and feel they contributed significantly to my recovery a view shared by my family.

Overall Experience

Carefour has been my husband's carers since July 2016. We have both been very satisfied with them. We have a rota so we know which carer is coming. They clock in on arrival and clock out when they leave. They are all efficient and cheerful. All is left tidy when they leave. They send a resume of what they have done, to the care manager, via smartphones.

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

We are delighted that you are so pleased with our service to you and are also 'extremely likely' to recommend us to others. We will certainly pass on your very kind comments to our whole team through our next newsletter to them. It's a pleasure to care for you both.

I have been really impressed with all aspects of Carefour Home Care. We have been treated extremely well from the first assessment to the present day. All staff have given my husband the dignity that I wanted for him. He has bonded well with them and I cannot put into words how much I value all that has been done for us both by the cheerful staff. Many many thanks.

Overall Experience
The team have been brilliant with the care and support given to my parents at a very difficult time. They have kept me updated and offered valuable advice throughout. Absolutely nothing has been too much trouble for them and they genuinely care for not only their clients, but their families too. They have been 'a constant' when trying to navigate my way through the maze of government agencies.
I would highly recommend them for anyone requiring care - they've gone above and beyond!

My sincere thanks to all the team.

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 extremely proud of our ongoing and consistent outstanding reviews on homecare.co.uk and winning the best Top 20 provider win the West Midlands 3 years running.

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 for myself. We work in partnership with you and can adapt as your requirements change.

My main role is to support the recruitment and onboarding process and carefully select the most wonderful people to look after our clients. I have the pleasure to meet the kindest individuals who I would, hand on heart, trust with looking after me or my family.

I have a wealth of experience and I have to say this company is the nicest I have ever worked for. If you are looking for care for a loved one, I would choose Carefour.
