Carers are very good although my hearing or loss of creating a tiny difficulty. Also carers from different countries causing mirth and laughter. I am teaching them a few new words like widdle and woopsies in connection with natural bottom movements.


I hope this doesn't offend the review standards.

All the carers from Lead Services that looked after my parents were exceptional. They were kind, compassionate & always treated them with dignity.
They not only cared but also created a sense a family, comforting in difficult moments and celebrating the small wins.


All administration was dealt with

efficiently & it was very easy to set the care package up. It has always been easy to get in touch with the office staff, who are all kind, considerate and nothing is too much trouble.


I would highly recommend this company to look after your nearest & dearest.

Lead Care has taken care of Mum for over a year. Recently, we had to update her routine after a spell in hospital. They did it seamlessly, and Mum was allowed home. They are kind and compassionate, and we are reassured that Mum is being looked after well.

I have been with Lead Care Services for several years following a stroke I had and needed assistance with personal and daily living care. The service I have received is outstanding, they are accommodating and the carers really do care, they always make sure you are comfortable and have everything you
need before leaving you. Well-trained staff for various needs, I trust and highly recommend Lead Care Services to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very apprehensive about having a carer at home, being normally very independent people. The lead personnel were so helpful on the telephone and very reassuring, and it was more than replicated by the lovely, cheerful, hardworking carer who was assigned to us. She is a delight, and we are so
lucky to have this help. We take this sort of thing for granted, but we should celebrate this care-at-home service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lead Care Services have been looking after my mother for 5 years and we've been delighted with their care all that time. For the last 2 years, mum has been housebound which required the skill of using a hoist for personal care and transfer. I have never had to worry that someone might not turn up.
The carers always arrive at the agreed time and are cheerful, helpful and sympathetic to her needs. Mum appreciates all the help they give her and even enjoys the occasional singsong. Management has always been approachable and helpful and responds quickly to any queries I may have. Similarly, if they have any concerns, they will make me aware so we can find a solution. The only reason for terminating the service this month is because at 95 years old my brother and I felt she needed to move to a care home where she would benefit from 24 hour care and company. We will always be grateful for their competence and friendship over 5 years.

We are extremely happy with Lead Care Services, all the carers that look after my daughter are kind, caring, and very attentive to her needs. She has formed a very good relationship with her carers, who she looks forward to seeing everyday. Management is very approachable, understanding, and will go
out of their way to support the client and the family. Would recommend to anyone who requires personal care and we feel very happy that we found this agency.

My father has been a client for over a year now and is always happy with the service he gets. The carers always greet him with a cheery smile and approach him in a gentle manner. Overall, as a family we have been pleased with the care my father receives on a daily basis, with some carers going above
and beyond to make sure that my father’s needs are always met.
The carers are always there to support me too as I am Dad’s principle carer, they will always listen patiently to any of my concerns and are always willing to give me friendly advice.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a carer.

Having used other agencies who could no longer support our dad we were reluctant about getting yet another domiciliary care provider and we considered residential care.
Lead Care Services sounded very different right from the first phone call. The staff and management have all been great.
We are

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.894 for Lead Care Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.894
