They are kind, considerate and aware of the changing needs of their clients.
Furthermore, they are very aware of nutritional needs of all the people with complex care requirements.
The carers are of a high standard and information is readily shared.
The field worker comes regularly to speak to both our mother and the carer.
The manager responds very quickly to any questions or issues.
The Agency is compassionate and well run.
It has been hugely important to know that we have been able to trust them as Mums needs continue to increase . The individual carers are very tender people and I am relieved to know that Mum can have that level of support.
Thankyou
For the last 18 months, Mum's Monday-Friday care was provided by the same carer. This consistency was of great benefit to Mum, as the familiar face and good routine kept her settled and calm.
The manager was always available to handle any queries or concerns and offered additional assistance when required
Latha and her team provided my mum with the highest level of care. They were exceptionally caring proactive and supported my brother and I through the toughest time. Mum was always happy, kept stimulated and well fed. She was unpredictable as she had a mix of complex needs including Lewey bodies dementia, COPD, epilepsy and later on Parkinson's each carer took time to understand her requirements to keep her happy and safe
Latha the manager was great in communicating with me on all sorts of things, like dealing with the GP if I had gone on a few days away and anything else that needed sorting, plus being on the other end of the phone when I needed someone to talk to
I felt that I was able to have a few days away as I trusted the carers and Latha.
I had one carer for 5 years who was wonderful in all aspects, and due to mum's decline we had to increase the care, and over the last 20 months we have had to have 3 more, I have had the same 4 carers looking after my mum. The ladies all treated mum with care and respect even calling her mama, they managed to get mum to eat when she was a little reluctant and even placating her when she had difficult days. My mother was happy with the ladies as well, otherwise she would have let me know if she wasn't.
They also come to her funeral. 20 out of 10.
Our current team of carers are wonderful; a few carers in the past who were not quite up to scratch were replaced immediately with no interruption to my mother's care; new carers are always introduced by the manager and given a full induction, and the manager gave us a lot of help with the Continuing Health Care funding application and review.
I am happy to recommend Blue Crystal. We could not manage without them.
Is all I can say is I have truly had bad service with this company. They have left me stranded for two weeks with not sending anyone, my first care worker spending up to three hours on her phone doing highway code. Been very lazy, this was three times a week she was doing this, did not once make me a meal saying she cannot cook. Second care worker never once offered me a coffee or even anything to eat, she threw things out that she should not have and I had to go in my own bin to get them out, then I was promised a new care worker to come today Good Friday and that’s not happening. This company don’t contact you to tell you that they are not coming but leave you stranded. This is bad service and when you hear about care teams letting you down it’s true, I am cancelling my care plan with this care team because of the bad communication with the person that runs it, communication is terrible. She will not contact you to tell you things that you’re being let down and that’s wrong.
Unfortunately, the client cancelled the care package provided for him, as he was expecting the carers to do other duties which was not agreed by the office and the carers were uncomfortable with his requests.
The agency is professional, flexible, able to respond quickly, provide feedback quickly on any issues, provide real person centred service.
Both the carers and the manager of the agency are to be recommended for their dedication and professionalisim.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone searching for a care agency to provide care to a family member or friend.
Since September 2017, the standard of care provided has been excellent, albeit, every carer is slightly different and when concerns were expressed about the one or two who were deemed not to be up to the high standards of their colleagues, action was speedily taken to remove them from the team.
New carers are always given an induction into my wife's condition and are accompanied to our home by the care manager who keeps in regular contact about their performance and my wife's condition.
The carers see their role as not only looking after my wife but also looking after me. They happily blend into the household.
The care manager has wide experience of caring and has given valuable advice on how to cope with my wife's needs and in applying for Continued Health Care Funding.
is now wheelchair bound. I value their sympathetic attention to our
needs and would not be able to manage without them.
I have used this service for a number of years now, for my mother who is now 95 years of age and suffers with eczema. The service received is excellent and the carers are friendly and caring.
