Alcedo care has been there for me over the last 12 months. The carers are kind, friendly, caring and compassionate. They are also very respectful. They have helped me maintain my normal way of life which I am so grateful for. I couldn’t recommend this company enough.

A fantastic service. Was amazed at how fast they were to react and assist with our needs. The impact of having a daily visit has helped improve morale and provided some respite for the whole family. Knowing that we can lean on Alcedo for more support removes a huge burden.

My husband who has progressive MS needed emergency cover over the bank holiday weekend after a month's stay in hospital. The staff we came into contact with from Alcedo Care Blackpool, were very friendly, caring, and professional. The care given was of a high standard and they made my husband comfortable. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I would say that most of the carers have been very pleasant and easy to talk to, I haven't met all of the carers yet. Some go out of their way to be extremely helpful. I would recommend one carer in particular to anyone, he is a very helpful, caring, and lovely person who has made a big difference to help my Auntie settle back in her own surroundings.

Overall Experience

My dad is bed-bound, on oxygen, and on an end-of-life pathway. The staff at Alcedo are all extremely professional, caring, and friendly. They treat my dad with the dignity and respect he deserves, he having been a true gentleman all his life. I am currently living with him and my Mum, who has dementia, and the staff are caring of me too, always willing to lend a hand with Mum in times of need. I have found the management team always very accommodating of our personal needs. I don't know how I would manage without the support of Alcedo Care, and I can't recommend them enough. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum has MND and needs complex care with her condition changing all the time. The manager at Alcedo Care is always happy to accommodate the needs of my mum. Previous to Alcedo Care we used 3 different care agencies. Alcedo Care are so professional and caring, even when things go wrong they're always happy to sort this out and work out a better way to work. Every credit to all the carers involved in mum's care. Without the continuing support from the manager and her amazing team, I don't know as a family where we would be. Thanks again.

Review from P M (Wife of Client) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband left hospital after a long stay. We had to adjust our home to accommodate the equipment required for him to be cared for at home. Alcedo Care was the homecare service. The carers were always pleasant and assisted my husband with his personal hygiene and getting dressed. They treated him with dignity and that made him very comfortable. He soon bonded with them and enjoyed their company They soon recognised if he was not too well and would adjust their care to give him time to do things. I can't praise them enough for their commitment and professionalism. They are a credit to your service.

Overall Experience

My mother returned from hospital to home 13th November 2020 during a long battle with cancer, having also contracted covid in hospital. The Alcedo team were absolutely fantastic, showing care and understanding to my sister and I but more importantly, gave my mum dignity in her final few days. I cannot thank nor praise the team highly enough, they were amazing and made this most difficult time easier to deal with. Thank you so very much.

Overall Experience

We can't thank Alcedo Care enough for their help and support when I suddenly went downhill with terminal cancer. The minute we were fast-tracked they sent three carers a day (2 x half hours a day). My morning regular care has been outstanding, helping me wash, which I was most worried about. I've felt comfortable and kept all my dignity. She is extremely patient and efficient at the same time for all the other tasks. The other team members are great too and all very punctual. I don't know how we would have coped without Alcedo. Thank you very much.

I have found all the carers to be efficient but patient with my husband, and I have appreciated all their support. It has been a pleasure to have them in my home helping me to care for my husband in his final weeks. It has been a comfort to know that I have been able to share with the carers any problems that I have faced.

Overall Experience
The staff at Alcedo are so kind and caring. They have looked after my Mum in the best way.
Frequently they have gone over and above what is required and for this, my daughter and I will be forever grateful.
They have always given her the best care and know her so well, always professional and very caring. I had peace of mind in regards to my Mum because I was far from home and totally relied on Alcedo and the staff to provide her care.

They are an excellent company with fantastic staff and I would easily recommend them to anyone who needs care.

I have been a service user for the company for about 4 months now and feel this is the best company I have had! Carers have always treated me with amazing care and respect. They make me feel important while performing their duties. Carers go above and beyond to try and help/support me. They are very encouraging and they fill me with confidence while I progress with my mobility. They are making my dream to get back baking a reality.

Faye Fenton

Hi, my name is Faye, and I am the Operations Manager for Alcedo Care Blackpool.

Andrea Woodruff Job Title: Area Manager Joined: 2022
Andrea Woodruff

I'm Andrea, the Area Manager for Alcedo in Lancaster and Blackpool, with over 10 years of experience in all aspects of care. I started with Alcedo in December 2022 as a Coordinator for the agency side of the business, progressed to Care Manager in Blackpool, and now proudly oversee both areas in my current role.

Originally from Gibraltar, I began my career in care working in a children’s home, supporting families through a 12-week programme designed to help parents reunite with their children. After moving to the UK in 2015, I spent some time in insurance management before returning to care following maternity leave, and I haven’t looked back since.

I’ve truly found my niche in this sector. I love what I do and feel privileged to work with such a committed and compassionate team. Our clients and staff are at the heart of everything we do, and I’m passionate about maintaining the high standards Alcedo is known for.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me enjoying days out with my husband and our three children, or relaxing with a good Netflix series.

Michaela Allen Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2019
Michaela Allen

My name is Michaela and I’m the Deputy Manager for Alcedo Care Blackpool.

This is an industry that is new to me but I felt right at home as soon as I began my work out in the community.

I love to help people and love listening to people's stories and tales of their lives.

I began to think about my future development and looked into becoming an ambassador for my area but then I got an opportunity to join the fantastic office team and become a care coordinator so that I can continue to help and assist with clients' care packages and needs from behind the scenes.

My new role has me facing a lot of challenges daily but I have a lot of support and help from everyone in the office so that we can overcome obstacles as a team.

I have since been promoted to deputy manager and I am so proud to be a part of the management team.

My animals mean the world to me and they always manage to comfort me when I need it. I love to travel and always look forward to my next break away whether it is UK or international.
