Having spent much time researching various care options, we engaged the services of The Care Collection just under a month ago. From our initial enquiry through to the ongoing assistance with the daily care of my elderly father, we've been most impressed with the professionalism, care and compassion
of their staff. Nothing is too much trouble and my Dad actively looks forward to his daily visits and a good chat. What were strangers only a month ago, are now very much part of his daily regime. We really appreciate all the help and support that The Care Collection team continue to offer us. Many thanks

Thank you to all the staff at The Care Collection who took such good care of our relative. We feel very lucky that we chanced upon such a good team when we were looking for carers for her. She looked on some of your team as friends as well as caregivers, and we really appreciate the kindness, care and
attention that you all gave to her.

The Care Collection is second to none. Every aspect of their company is outstanding, compassionate and of the highest level. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Office staff courteous and bend over backwards to accommodate difficult and often unexpected changes of care needed. The attending care staff
have been more like family members to us. Our mum was looked after with the utmost care and respect and we are truly grateful to everyone involved. Anyone needing care in the home look no further.

Nothing but praise for The Care Collection. The care Mum received from all the care team for the past year has been nothing but exceptional from carrying out personal care to making meals and housework. Nothing was too much trouble and no matter what the weather the care team always arrived on time.
Communication from the staff and office team was excellent and always kept up to date. Thank you.

My husband has Parkinsons. Care Collection came to care for him while l had a short break. It was extremely successful and he gained confidence in the carers. We now have care two mornings a week. Staff are always respectful and very happy to help out. Staff have also been very helpful when l have phoned
in a panic to arrange the odd extra care sessions. Thank you.

The Carer Collection have provided a live-in service for my daughter since her discharge from hospital in July. They have enabled my daughter to participate in the recruitment process. The carers have provided good support to my daughter and enabled her to participate in the community and domestic activities.
When problems have arisen Care Collection have worked with us to resolve them to everyone's satisfaction. They have also been diligent in monitoring the ongoing care.

Everything was very well organised and a care plan was put in place immediately. When we needed to adjust times etc. or increase the number of hours, the staff were always willing to do their best to satisfy our requirements. The carers were always punctual and never let us down. They showed nothing
but kindness and patience on every visit. Whenever I rang or emailed the office, the response was always quick and any issues were dealt with quickly and professionally. We only stopped using the service due to my father-in-law not being well enough to stay at home.

I have found that The Care Collection is a very professional organisation that deals with issues that arise promptly, openly and honestly and follows up changes to check that the new care plan is followed. This gives me, as a daughter, reassurance that mum's changing care needs are being met. Mum always
says that she is "lucky, lucky, lucky." I think I am lucky to have found The Care Collection to care for mum.

The carer was always polite and friendly and introduced herself. Occasionally, she was a bit late, but someone would ring with an apology and explanation. During her allotted time she completed all tasks with consideration to my friend's needs and choices. Tasks included making lunch, administering
medications and a little light cleaning. Often, she would have some time left to sit and talk to us. Conversations were generally about families, past times and television programmes. These were all subjects that my friend could participate in, and enjoyed. At the end of the visit, the carer would document what she had done. My friend always looked forward to the carer calling.

The lady from The Care Collection was very polite and introduced herself before the review began. She explained her position within the care company and her objectives. Discussed care and if anything else was required. My mother-in-law is happy with most things except when visit times are changed. She
has noted this and will report back to the office. But overall, my mother-in-law and I are happy with the service.

I have used Care Collection Wakefield for my elderly mother, for care four times per week, after using their Huddersfield office for my daughter for over 2 years, who sadly has severe mobility issues. We enjoyed the same brilliant standards of compassion and care and wouldn't hesitate in recommending
them. It is reassuring to have the Care Collection looking after two family members, knowing they will be safe in their more than capable hands. I truly cannot recommend them enough!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for The Care Collection (Kirklees, Wakefield & Calderdale) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.981 for The Care Collection (Kirklees, Wakefield & Calderdale) is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 52 Ratings = 4.981

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for The Care Collection (Kirklees, Wakefield & Calderdale) is based on 9 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 = 4.9

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Catherine Haigh

Job Title: Director of Care

Joined: 2017

I am now embarking on my 3rd decade in Health and Social Care. I have climbed the professional ladder and have thoroughly enjoyed the exercise. Now at the top, and has earned the position of “influencer”, I want to share my success with my Clients and their families and support them by offering the best possible home care service available.


I have worked across the whole of the care sector with people of all ages and a whole spectrum of conditions including elderly care, Dementia, physical disabilities, brain injuries, mental health, neurological conditions, Learning Disabilities and palliative care.


I have acted as an advocate for my Clients and pioneered for their individual causes. I am incredibly passionate about ensuring people get the support they deserve and always strive to deliver outstanding levels of customer service. My professional training has given me the knowledge and skills to support my caring and empathetic nature as well as my desire to ensure people to lead fulfilling and independent lives.


However, I have often felt disappointed and let down by other care providers or professionals working alongside me. I have at times been demoralised and disheartened by poor practice, misplaced morals and substandard levels of care and customer service. I think the time has come for positive change!


I have therefore created The Care Collection, a stylish and unique, carefully crafted collection of home care services accessible to all.

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2018

I have over 12 years’ experience in Health and Social Care. Whilst studying for my degree I worked as a care worker in the community. After graduating I worked as a Field Care Supervisor and then spent 5 years as Registered Manager of a private home care provider overseeing the running of the entire service and staff team.


I joined The Care Collection in January 2018 and became Registered Manager in 2020. My role includes monitoring our service on a regular basis, ensuring it runs safely and effectively for our clients and complies with, and where possible exceeds, industry legislation. I also ensure that the care team receive appropriate training and any extra support and guidance they may need to provide excellent care resulting in a service that can be relied upon and known for its high standards.


I am looking forward to The Care Collection growing and flourishing with the innovative and creative team we have in place and changing people’s perceptions of care. We aim to exceed our clients’ expectations by developing a holistic, person-centered approach to care delivery, focused on promoting independence for everyone.
