At Alcester Home Care, we understand that choosing care for yourself or a loved one is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why we’re committed to complete transparency when it comes to our fees—everything is clearly explained from the start, with no hidden extras, no small print, and no unexpected charges. What you see is exactly what you get: exceptional care delivered with honesty and integrity.


We believe the quality of care is directly linked to the time we spend with our clients. That’s why our 1-hour visit option has been designed to offer more than just essential assistance—it’s an opportunity for meaningful interaction, companionship, and attentive, unhurried care. From helping with personal routines to preparing meals, supporting mobility, or simply sharing a friendly conversation over a cup of tea, our carers have the time to do things properly.


Longer visits also mean more can be achieved in one go, reducing the need for frequent shorter visits. This makes our service not only more effective in meeting individual needs but also more cost-efficient over time. It’s a practical way to ensure consistent, high-quality support without compromising on value.


At Alcester Home Care, we don’t just provide care—we enrich lives, nurture independence, and bring peace of mind to families.


Invest in care that truly makes a difference.

Review from Lyn O (Daughter of Client) published on 22 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has 5 welfare visits a week. I meet the staff if I am visiting on the days they come and I have always found them to be kind, patient and friendly towards Mum (and myself). My main contact is with the office, amending/changing bookings to meet Mum's needs and circumstances. And I sometimes make
late requests. My contact and requests have always been treated efficiently and politely by one member of staff in particular who is always friendly and helpful. He gets the job done with no fuss and promptly. Another member of staff is also helpful giving me guidance and advice when requested.
My overall experience of the agency has been excellent over the years that we have been using them.
Thank you everyone.

My grandmother has been taken care of by this team for 12 months, as a family we could not wish for anything better. From the start of our journey, we found the onboarding process was easy, they are very confident, professional, and reliable, and she gets to stay at home and have the care she requires
and some independence. This gives me a piece of mind to know she has everything in place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We requested services from Alcester Home Care for respite with only a couple of weeks' notice for morning and evening visits to Mum who has dementia. The whole process has been seamless. Nothing is a problem. Assessments were swift and thorough. All carers on the rota are well-informed about Mum's needs
and they are so kind. Mum looks forward to her care visits. It has really taken the pressure off whilst we await the arrival of a baby. I will be looking to continue to use the service beyond the respite period as we are so impressed. Highly recommend.
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Field Care Supervisor at Alcester Home CareThank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review our services.

We cannot fault Alcester Home Care and the service they have provided for my dad since he needed extra support.

We recommend Alcester Home Care wholeheartedly. We have been so pleased with the help the carers have given us. It was something we were dreading, but they have made the whole process as pleasant as possible. Also, we have needed to keep changing the package, and this has been organised very quickly
and efficiently.

I have received support from Alcester Home Care for twelve months starting at a time when I was suffering from depression. My carer helped me through this difficult period and continues to provide assistance to me. She now has a set routine for her three one hourly early morning calls without referring
to me for any guidance. In short, I find at the age of eighty-four, I am not sure I would be able to live on my own without her support.

Mom has been with Alcester Home Care for nearly two years now since my dad passed. She suffers from dementia but she can still live independently with the help and support of the carers who come in every day to look after her. Without them, it would have been extremely difficult for Mom to be independent.
The
carers are fantastic, so friendly and encouraging. I would definitely recommend the services of Alcester Home Care.

Review from Patti B (Sister of Client) published on 13 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alcester Home Care have provided home services to my brother for nearly a year now. He has a brain injury that affects his memory and needs help with day-to-day housekeeping tasks. The staff are helpful, professional and really friendly and my brother feels comfortable with all of them. Naturally, there
were a couple of teething problems, as there would be with any new setup, but the local managers have been enormously helpful and very accessible in getting minor issues sorted. I honestly feel I would recommend this agency to anyone who needs care in their home based on the service we have received. Thank you
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Home Care Manager at Alcester Home CareThank you for such a positive review. It has been a real pleasure supporting your brother and enabling him to continue to live independently in the comfort of his own home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alcester Home Care looked after my mum for 3 years from January 2020. I couldn't visit mum during the pandemic so the carers did everything for her - shopping, laundry, putting out the bins to be emptied, as well as the usual personal care and assistance with food and medication. Mum stayed well throughout
the pandemic, a testament to the professionalism of the carers. Mum had very little mobility, but she was encouraged to get out of bed and her chair as much as possible. Her skin remained in good condition, thanks to the carers applying barrier creams every day. All the carers were bright and cheerful, raising mum's spirits by their visits. I found the app on my phone to be very helpful to see how mum was doing at each visit, especially when I couldn't visit. I would recommend Alcester Home Care.
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Home Care Manager at Alcester Home CareWe are pleased to read that we helped to ease your concerns during a very challenging pandemic. Your mum was a great pleasure to support and we feel privileged to have been a part of your loved ones' life and yours.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her team have looked after Mum for 18 months. Mum has advanced dementia, her health is deteriorating and she is bed-bound. Everyone is excellent. They show great professionalism, dedication, kindness and understanding. The schedule of visits takes account of Mum's care needs and daily
routine, robust safety checks ensure that carers are supported in their handling of medicines and equipment, and liaison with the NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding team has been very well managed. The carers are well-trained, confident and highly skilled. They show great sensitivity to changes in Mum's condition, look after her extremely well and their visits brighten her day. They draw on their knowledge and experience to alert me to any health concerns so I can follow these up promptly with the doctor or district nurses. The commitment to high-quality care makes a significant, very positive impact on Mum's quality of life and brings great support and reassurance to her family.
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Home Care Manager at Alcester Home CareHi, it is a pleasure providing care and support to your mum. Thank you for being so complimentary towards our carers and management, it certainly helps to boost team morale.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I engaged the services of Alcester Home Care to help my Dad who had increasing mobility problems. He always spoke highly of each carer and said how friendly and easygoing they were. Nothing was too much trouble. I don't live in the area but found members of staff to be efficient and friendly either
by phone or email. They also worked around me for appointments as to when I could be there. One of the carers called me to say she thought Dad looked quite poorly. Unfortunately, he passed away a few days later but without that call, I wouldn't have known how poorly he was and I was able to arrange for him to see a doctor and be with him for the few days before he passed away. One simple call meant the world. Thank you.
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Home Care Manager at Alcester Home CareHi, thank you for such a heartfelt review, it really is touching to hear the difference we were able to make to your dad's life and to your own. We wish you and your family the very best for the future. Kind regards, Liz.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First-class care and nursing service. From the initial assessment to subsequent twice-daily care visits, we were very impressed with the high standard of nursing care mom received. All tasks eg. medicine distribution, showering, washing care, meal preparation housework were all done competently and
with care and genuine friendliness. I was impressed also with the management style, all our requests for changes and additions to the service were acted upon promptly and positively. We were always promptly kept in the loop with any changes that the Agency had to make due to unforeseen circumstances such as staff illness. Would fully recommend Alcester Nursing Care to look after your loved ones, they gave us great peace of mind at a very difficult time.
Reply from Liz Ballinger, Home Care Manager at Alcester Home CareHi, it was a huge pleasure to provide care and support to your mum. She was admired by so many of the carers. I want to thank you for taking the time to provide us with an excellent review, which will help us to help others in the near future. We wish you all the very best for the future. Kind regards, Liz.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alcester Home Care provided care for my dad for just over 2 years. It allowed us to keep him safely at home for as long as possible. Dad was reluctant to accept help at first but the carers were friendly and encouraged his independence where possible so he soon grew to appreciate their visits and it
provided us with great comfort to know he had regular checks from professional carers. This was particularly helpful during the lockdown period, we would have struggled to keep him safe and healthy without them. I would like to give a special mention to the field care supervisor, who has been very supportive throughout. She responded to any specific requests we had and helped us enormously when any medical challenges arose. Having the app to be able to see what specific tasks had been carried out or any particular needs identified was also a really helpful tool. Overall I would thoroughly recommend the services of Alcester Home Care. Thank you.

Mum has received fantastic service and continues to do so. Alcester Home Care have organised for the same carer, when possible, to visit Mum, so she has developed a strong and trustworthy relationship with her. However, all the carers have been exceptional.
When Mum has needed additional care, that
has been put into action quickly and effectively.
I have been extremely satisfied with the service given by the office and the carers.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.855 for Alcester Home Care is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 124 Ratings = 4.855
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Alcester Home Care is based on 21 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
