My care is expertly given with compassion and professionalism. They are always on time (within a 30-40 minute window). Nothing, it seems, is too much trouble or hassle. Thank you guys, so much, if I don't understand, they will, and do, explain; whatever their nationality, their command of the English
language is excellent. Thanks again.

I've had good and bad experiences but the management people have always tried to correct it. My good experiences are the carers try their hardest to provide care. You can always have a talk to them and a laugh. and if your having a bad day they will try their best to listen

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following knee surgery I had a fall and have not been able to walk since. I use Care services together with a wheelchair and hoists to get me around the house. Carers give me 3 good meals a day as well as washing and dressing. I live alone and at night I have a I have a house phone and a mobile to use
if needed. I pay for this service and a private physiotherapist and am ever so hopeful I will walk again. I cannot say how grateful I am to have the care service I get. Thank you.

I like a regular time each morning not always possible. 11am is late to be getting up. I want just a few carers so I get to know them. Doing personal washing etc. rather than having to explain the routine to new people. Lovely regular girls very kind and helpful.

We havent had care givers long enough to give a detailed review.
My mother worries when the carer is running late, it is not an issue if I am about, but problematic if I'm not.
The carer is gentle when washing etc and helpful with dressing.
Today Mum asked for a piece of toast but was told she was
running late.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
While the main purpose of care is being fulfilled, basic hygiene and food safety procedures often fall short. This is often due to infrequent staff rotaion, lack of communication with the client, and either a misunderstanding of, or a failure to read the briefs setting out the procedure of care for
the client. It presents almost daily frustrations and continued dissapointment in the standard of care provided.

My husband has received very good care. Just the occasion where a new carer doesn't know where his tablets/meds are. As my husband has opened meds before these are now kept in the middle drawer in kitchen in a pinafore. Carers have been good with his sometimes being awkward.Carers who come regularly
are trusted by my husband. He does not get on with male carers, so female carers are preferred as he doesn't feel threatened by female carers. Happy with his care.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.383 for Care Givers Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 133 Ratings = 4.383
