Review from Joyce A (Wife of Client) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband has M.S.A and has been very poorly for some time. He have never had any help until he came out of hospital after sepsis. After the NHS nurses, we had D.M.C they have been such a help to my husband and myself. He is much improved since they have been coming. We are so grateful that there are such good carers to help when needed. Thank you.

Overall Experience

The care I receive from dmc is outstanding everything about them is amazing from time keeping to the way they give their service I can not fault them they are always in a good mood and never rushed even when they are having a busy day when they are at your home your their priority keep up the amazing work

The only issue I do have is with having memory issues is constantly having different people I believe patients having the same carers most of the time which benefit them instead of constant change that way we get use to the people coming in and they get use to us. For me personally is stresses me out not knowing who I have coming in

Review from E B (Daughter of Client) published on 25 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic care agency. The management and office staff are very kind and professional. The carer that was assigned to us was exceptional and he had over twenty years of experience. He was very kind and considerate and quickly built up a trusting relationship with my dad as well as the whole family. Nothing was too much trouble and he was willing to stay a bit longer if needed. He very quickly felt like a member of our family. He also went the extra mile by being there with Dad when he was taken into a nursing home and visited him on the first few days to ensure a good handover with the home and to help settle Dad in. I would definitely recommend DMC to anyone.

I really like the staff team. They are good at getting things done.

It is really good. They understand the way I am, they know when I'm upset. They try ways to help me as much as possible. Things will change hopefully in the next year or so. I am making lots of progress and have come a long way. I'm happy and so is all my staff team.

Review from Richard T (Father of Client) published on 7 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 19-year-old daughter has now been in supported living for two years now. She has Rett Syndrome and autism and is nonverbal. The accommodation is always clean and tidy and is like a home-from-home. My daughter requires 1:1 supervision. She's in her last year at school, and the school remark how clean and presentable she is. They make sure all her personal care is taken care of. I am very happy with the carer who treats my daughter like her own. I can tell when I visit my daughter that she is well looked after. I am very pleased that my daughter is in a good place with caring people in a safe environment.

What a great team, friendly, relaxing, doing all that needs doing with great care and support. We had carers before my dad and never could get on with it. This time with you, he feels so relaxed and asks after all. He is also happy to let you help him which has never happened before. You haven't just supported dad you have helped us all. Given us great advice. Amazing. Thank you so much.

Damilola Orija Job Title: Care Manager
Damilola Orija

Hello, my name is Damilola (You can call me Dami). 

I started working in the health and social care industry in 2020, and I currently work in DMC as a care manager which is a really interesting role, as it involves working closely with staff and clients to ensure the care given is person-centered.

This helps me see from both sides and give effective feedback.  I have a master’s degree in clinical nutrition, and I took an interest in health and social care after working part-time in an agency which has led to me being enrolled in a Level 5 Diploma in health and social care so that I can be equipped with adequate knowledge to back the wealth of experience that I am gaining at DMC consulting ltd. 

I like being involved in helping people achieve a great

quality of life.
