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.
Thank you for your lovely review and feedback on the care you have received.

Hi Lindsey, thank you so much for your lovely review. Your dad and his sense of humour were adored by everyone who met him. I hope you are all doing ok.

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's our pleasure to care for your mum!

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.
Thank you for your lovely review Tracey. I can't wait to taste some of your yummy cakes and bakes!
Staff very friendly very very caring have a good chat and banter with my mum. Staff always go the extra mile. Staff also sing to her and make her feel more comfortable. I couldn’t have found a better care agency.

Hi Paul, thank you for your lovely review, I'm so pleased you and mum are happy with the services received.
Your staff were very caring and compassionate towards my Nanna during her end of life care. The support your staff gave me and my family was first class and made our days much easier and helped us to care for my Nanna.

Hi Becky, thank you for your review. I'm so glad the carers could support you as well as your nanna. Take care.

I honestly couldn't do without my carers and I love the company. Everybody that I see goes the extra mile, they even sing and dance to me. I get little treats from being pampered to entertainment. My carers are caring and compassionately kind, I wouldn’t still be here today without them. They have given me a new lease of life and helped me gain back my confidence. I am back up on my feet and enjoying what I have left of my life.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Annie, I'm so pleased you are happy with the service you are receiving. Keep enjoying life!

I cannot thank the care team enough, they were exceptional in their care of my mum who was receiving palliative care. They treat her with dignity respect and kindness at every visit. My dad has Alzheimer’s and they treated him with absolute respect and taking time to chat to him. I will never forget what this team did for my mum's last few days they were outstanding. They helped me become her daughter again for which I am so grateful. This package of care was 4 visits a day x2 carers with a set team, they were always on time and dressed in full uniform. There was an initial teething problem with the night sit service however the manager called - she was upfront and honest to say at that time she was unable to accommodate our requirements, which as a family helped us trust this company. They also supported my family through this very sad time. I will need care for my dad in the near future and will certainly make this company my first call.
It was a pleasure to support your mother, father and family. The carers will miss seeing you all. Thank you for your review. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Rosie.

Alcedo Care were very quick in providing care to my Mum when it was needed. They are all such friendly staff and we were able to ring them whenever or leave messages for them. All the carers she had where so lovely and would always make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. She very much liked one of her carers in particular. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and she would often look forward to him coming. I would recommend Alcedo Care to anyone as I feel that they understood everything we wanted and the carers were superb. A very friendly company that I would say, like to go beyond what is expected. Always smiling, happy to help and they not only look after all their clients but invest in their staff too. Thank you Alcedo Care for all you did for my Mum, with a special thanks to her favourite carer.
Kind Regards Rosie

Alcedo carers started to care for our mother on discharge from hospital, our mother had been in hospital on lockdown for 6 weeks and we wanted her home on the palliative care pathway. Alcedo come four times a day and overnight to care for our mother. We as a family are so happy and appreciative of the wonderful care that is provided. My mother is always treated with kindness, respect and dignity by professional, friendly staff. Thank you - you are all outstanding.
Kind regards,
Rosie.
I am impressed with the level of care, and I feel safe when I am in the company of the carer. I feel that they really do care. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs this particular level of care. I love the girls.

They quickly arranged a meeting with the client and my husband to assess what our requirements were.
They were professional and caring and very down to earth.
They were clear and upfront with charges and gave us contact details and a contract to read through. They were able to start almost immediately and all the staff who attended my mother-in-law were pleasant, smart and in uniform and interacted with her very well even though she can be very difficult to deal with.
I can highly recommend them.
Thank you for your excellent review Janette. We really appreciate it. Best regards, Rosie.
They have always been efficient, professional and friendly in their care.

The service I have received this week has been amazing, I couldn't ask for a better care agency. I was greeted by the manager who was lovely and bubbly, she listened attentively to my needs and introduced me to the carer I would be having. Because I suffer chronic anxiety I was given the same carer all week. My carer was absolutely brilliant I was treated with dignity and respect at all times, we had fun and laughed non stop. I was supported to go to my best friend's wedding and we had a fantastic day. My carer was one of the best I've ever had and the best care company I've used. I'm very happy and will be using them again in my next stay in October. Thank you for everything and would definitely recommend Kate plus.
My carers always go the extra mile and nothing is too much for them. I really enjoy them visiting my home and their pleasant company.

I was only involved with Kare Plus for one week but during that time I have nothing but praise for everyone I and my father came into contact with. I was spoken to respectfully and involved in decisions regarding my father's care. Everyone who came to care for my father treated him with kindness and compassion. He was treated with dignity and respect and I cannot thank everyone enough for what they did during this difficult time.
Take care, Rosie (and all the carers)
My experience with Kare Plus Blackpool has so far been a very good one, with great kindness shown.

I cannot fault the care my 92-year-old dad has received from Kare Plus since it started on the 15/10/18. He looks forward to the 4 visits he gets a day and each person visiting has been kind, thoughtful, respectful and cannot do enough for my dad. I can get the timesheets sent to me by email...
I cannot fault the care my 92-year-old dad has received from Kare Plus since it started on the 15/10/18. He looks forward to the 4 visits he gets a day and each person visiting has been kind, thoughtful, respectful and cannot do enough for my dad. I can get the timesheets sent to me by email which is good and any time I need to drop them an email its picked up and answered in a very short space of time. Kare Plus is a brilliant service and I have recommended them already to friends who have elderly relatives.

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.

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.
