Review from C L (Daughter of Client) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother was cared for by Safe and Sound Homecare over a 12 month period. From the initial contact and assessment onwards, we received excellent support from our appointed carer. This included personal care, as well as help with daily routines and wellbeing support.

As and when mum's health requirements changed, Safe and Sound quickly adapted their care routine, including the timing and length of their visits.

I would certainly recommend this company as caring, compassionate, and meeting all Mum's needs and our wishes.

Review from Dawn G (Daughter of Client) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been cared for by Safe and Sound for well over a year now and she continues to receive very good care and support from the carers and also the office/management team.
She has carers four times a day and therefore receives full service from getting out of bed in the morning until she is helped back to bed in the evening.
There have been a few occasions where I have needed to contact the office/management team with questions and these have been immediately addressed with open and honest conversations.
We have a system with the carers of leaving non-urgent messages to each other on mums table which helps us all and the carers always call me if there's anything urgent.

As a family we are overall very pleased with the service provided by Safe and Sound.

Overall Experience

I've been having some problems recently with my weekend carers not turning up as expected. Mostly not on time and complete visits missed. Contacted your office to ask what happened but no reason was given for this. As I am incontinent and bed ridden this causes me enormous distress both physically and mentally. I'd be grateful if you will kindly look into this. Week days are absolutely fine and I'm very satisfied, your observations on this matter will be much appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you.

My morning carers are very patient with me. All carers are friendly. The food they prepare and and serve me is adequate. Safe and sound do not always stick to the times that I have agreed with. The carers do not always wash up after my meals. Some carers will do my washing but not all of them. PPE is put in my bins.

Review from Christina Claire W (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father in law was looked after by Safe and Sound Homecare Ltd over a period of 12 months. During this time he had great support and care from the carers four times a day who were very attentive to his needs and would contact me directly regarding any major concerns regarding his health and wellbeing.
When speaking to the office regarding issues with my father in law they were always very responsive and helpful and were happy to accommodate his changing needs. They were very supportive right up until he had no choice but to go into a care home which they were supportive of - recognising that he needed full time care.

I would highly recommend Safe and Sound to look after an elderly person in their home who needs support with washing, dressing, meals and cleaning.

My dad was looked after at home for around 10 months until he passed away by the wonderful carers from Safe and Sound. They were all amazing and dad loved being looked after by them. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Safe and Sound. I will always remember how well they looked after my dad which means a great deal.

My carers are very good, some go above and beyond, and they are very caring and always meet my needs. I do have some sit-ins and enjoy going out, with carers it relaxes me without I couldn't do the things to do and go to the places to go.

We are pleased to see the positive impact Safe and Sound has had on your life and it's a pleasure working alongside you. Thanks for finding the time to leave a review and we will pass on the positive feedback to the carers.

Overall Experience

My wife has dementia. We have a carer who comes in the morning and does a fantastic job. At lunchtime, we have another carer who again does a fantastic job keeping my wife happy. Evening times we have another carer who also does a fantastic job, my wife loves seeing people show knows, you cannot send just anybody in for her, this only happened once before and it did not work. Life is great, seeing my wife with a big smile on her face. At weekends we have a different carer who she knows. Perfect.

Reply from Kyle Serra, Owner/Finance at Safe and Sound Homecare Ltd

It's really nice to hear that our carers are making a positive impact on your life and that your wife is happy with Safe and Sound. We think it's really beneficial to have the same carers on visits and your feedback is a perfect example of that.

Safe and Sound is lovely and friendly. I have been with them for nearly a year the carers are so nice and chatty and help me with what I need and make sure that I get what I need and am safe before they go. Sometimes I meet other carers if my carer is away.

From their very first visit, the carers who visit my mum twice a day have always been very caring, cheerful and treated her with kindness. They administer her medication with care and efficiency and are always very thorough when her prescription is changed by her GP or hospital.

I would recommend this company in all areas of care provided for both my mother and father-in-law. The carers always acted with kindness, compassion and understanding towards them both, sometimes under difficult circumstances. We had good communication with the management on dealing with and planning for our parent's care, are always friendly and kind but professional. Would highly recommend this care company.
