I cannot tell you what a lifesaver Alcedo Care Southport has been. My 89 year old dad who has dementia is still capable of living in his own home and we have had some awful experiences of care providers in the Southport area. That is until I made a phone call to Alcedo Southport and spoke to a member of staff. What a difference this company has made to our lives. There is an app which is great for me as I don't live with Dad so I can access the carer's notes and see if everything is okay. You can also see the rota of who is calling and at what time. Much better than written notes. The staff at Alcedo Care Southport are exactly what you want. They really do care. I had almost given up hope of finding a decent care provider so please rest assured that with this company your relative will be cared for. I get regular phone calls checking that all is ok and if there are any niggles they are sorted.
Please do not hesitate to give this company a ring. I personally would highly recommend them.

Horrendous service! If I could give a minus score I would.
Don't listen to the care needs of the service users, giving what they think is best for them. Requested day and overnight care, only to find out that when the carer arrives she has been told not to cover any overnights as that is for the family to do. What are we paying for if not that? The carer stayed over in our house in the bedroom assigned for carers and did not do any care after 10pm the first time and then 8pm on the second time. We did however have to pay for the privilege of having someone in our house overnight - even though we did not want her there! In the 36 hours requested, we may have received 10 hours of care/support for our daughter when she requested help and support i.e making drinks/food, getting up, dressed etc. The rest of the paid time the carers spent in the bedroom! Management is shocking and clearly does not understand the needs or vulnerabilities of disabled clients who should have someone with them at all times.

We provided you with live-in care services as requested which was discussed upon your initial telephone enquiry, in the assessment process with you and your daughter and at the meet and greet session. As well as the above, our live-in care services are set out in our contract. Our carer provided the care that was required for your daughter which involved personal care, nutrition, hydration and assisting with toileting and was available in your home upon your daughter's request for any assistance she required. The management team have tried to contact you numerous times by phone and email to resolve any issues however you have stated ‘you didn’t want to speak to anyone’.
Here at Alcedo Care we are always flexible and offer support to all our valued clients. We take onboard feedback (both positive and negative) to ensure that any issues are resolved in the most effective way whilst improving our service, we are sorry you feel we didn’t deliver the service that was ultimately agreed.

Hi! My name is Laura Harrison, and I am the Operations Manager for Alcedo Care at the Southport Branch. I come from Liverpool and have spent a large amount of my working life in the Fitness and Security industry. After deciding I wanted to take a step away from the security sector, I decided to try my hand in the Care Industry.
After a long discussion, I could not have been more pleased to become a part of the Alcedo family!
It was very clear that Alcedo stood out from the rest, and now I will be completing my Level 5 to aid my progression in my new career! I cannot wait to gain more knowledge and experience within the Care Industry and see where it leads!

Hi, my name is Clint, I joined Alcedo Care due to the lockdown. I have spent most of my life working in hospitality, from managing Hotels to restaurants, so this was a big change for me coming into the healthcare industry, but I have really enjoyed the challenges and new opportunities this has given me and I wish I had made this transition sooner.
I have worked with Alcedo Care for around 3 years now and I have gained a wealth of experience whilst I have been here. I have been lucky to progress throughout various roles learning more as I go.
I have completed my NVQ Level 2 in care, Train The Trainer course and I am currently working towards my NVQ Level 4. I love to learn how the body works and enjoy learning new techniques and skills to aid my progression within my career.

My name is Hayley and I have worked in the care industry for 11 years. I started my career as a Care Assistant in a local nursing home. I was looking after many clients with end-stage dementia and it was in this home that I learnt a lot of my core care skills that I still use today. I completed my NVQ Level 3 in health and social care there as I had the desire to progress within the industry and advance my skills to be able to deliver the best service possible and support to get people the best care available to them.
Over the next few years, I worked my way up starting as a support worker with people with learning disabilities, developing to a Senior Carer and then became Deputy Manager of a nursing home. I joined Alcedo Care in 2020 and completed my Level 5 NVQ in Leadership and Management. Due to life commitments, I now work part-time as a Care Assessor so I can spend more time watching my beautiful daughter grow and learn.
I have always enjoyed working in care as I love to interact and communicate with the clients, I want to ensure that their health and welfare are supported and that they have a higher quality of living.
