When a pair of carers really know my needs and likes/dislikes I get really good care. This is however other carers that don't do as good a job as others.

After coming out of hospital 3 months ago, we have been cared for in the most professional manner.
They are always happy which in turn makes me happy, nothing is too much trouble for them. Could not have had better care in this situation, which is helping me immensely. Well done Observe Care Ltd,
could not manage without all your care and dedication.

Overall Experience2.0 out of 5
Had been using this care agency for live-in care for both my parents for the past three months. Dad was the primary care recipient, with Parkinson's and Dementia. Mum had less than a quarter of care package needs, just meds and two meals, price adjustment accordingly. Carer turnover was unacceptable.
Four in first eight of twelve weeks and we were let down by no management input when elderly father was hospitalised for a week, yet still charged for full services despite no offer from agency to assist us in the hospital to give Dad care. The agency nor the carer discussed how to split her services. We were left to look after Dad in the hospital alone but charged full price. The carer then left midweek when Dad returned home and no contractual cover offered, despite them notifying us three days previously. Instead advised any cover would be charged at a more expensive, additional hourly rate which we could not afford, despite full LIC charges being invoiced for. Hence official complaint. Any queries made to the manager.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
