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.
We're especially pleased that the consistency and compassion of your carer, along with the flexibility of our team, made...
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.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback-it really means a lot to us.
We're delighted to hear that your mother continues to receive high-quality care and support from both our carers and office team. Providing consistent, responsive service and maintaining open, honest communication with...
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.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the distress you have described and want to reassure you that we have taken this matter seriously and carried out a full investigation.
Following your review, we spoke with you directly; however, specific dates and times could not be...
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.
Thank you for your feedback following your recent care review. We're pleased to hear you find your carers patient and friendly, and we will share this with the team.
Carers will prepare meals using available ingredients; if you have preferences, please ensure the items are provided. We aim to...
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It has been a pleasure working alongside you to support your father in law. wishing him all the best.
Very professional service from all concerned.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It was a pleasure working with your dad and yourself.
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.
Keep it up please.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, I will pass the feedback onto our team.
Excellent service from carers, it's so nice to be looked after and cared for in such a lovely way.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such as positive review.
Carers are always pleasant and caring, take an interest in the caring of my wife. Always turn up, keep to their times the best they can. Very happy with the service of Safe and Sound.
Thank you so much for the review and we are pleased to hear that your experience has been positive. I will pass on the feedback to the carers.
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.
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.
I would recommend this company.
Thanks for the review, I will pass your kind words on to the team.
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.
Thanks for your review Shellie, really nice to hear that you are pleased with your carers. Look forward to the continued partnership.
On my discharge from hospital two carers were the most dedicated folks I have ever met. I was so pleased with their service and would recommend them any time.
That's great to hear, thank you for the positive review.
I am satisfied with my care. The staff are all very friendly and will do anything I require. Also the management are always on the end of the line if I need to speak to them with any query.
We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the care we are providing and thank you so much for the great review, we appreciate it.
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.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, I will pass this on to the carers.
From the first contact I made with Safe and Sound, they have been very supportive and helpful. My father has been very well cared for since his care plan was put in place. I would not hesitate in recommending to family and friends.
Thank you for the positive feedback. We are really happy that you have enjoyed working with us and look forward to maintaining this relationship throughout Dad's care. Thanks.
An excellent care service. Efficient, professional and friendly carers. Effective communication channels. Always cheerful and pleasant. My father was concerned regarding carers coming into his home, but these concerns were quickly allayed and he now looks forward to his visits.
Thank you for the glowing review, we will be sure to share the excellent feedback with the team.
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.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Julie; we will pass this on to the team. It was a pleasure working with you and your parents.
