My Mother In Law (who has mixed dementia) has Ready Care Services (Harlow branch) visiting 4 times a day. My husband and I could not manage her care at all without RCS! The office members always respond so quickly to our requests and with deep compassion, and all of the care team are always so sweet
and helpful to my Mother In Law on every visit. I cannot thank Ready Care enough for their support, I highly recommend them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been using Ready Care Services for my Mother's care since February 2023. Without exception we have found the services provided to be excellent. The carers are very well trained, and extremely compassionate, and have never let us down at any time. My Mother's personal care is carried out in a
dignified way and we always appreciate the detail by the carers in ensuring medications are presented to my Mother at the correct times. In many critical moments they have gone above and beyond to ensure my Mother's well-being. The administration and organisational side is also excellent, with the office managers providing clear information, and communicating with a social care company, as well as clear understanding of medication timings. They are also very compassionate and supportive people not only to my Mother but to us when we call. I have no hesitation in recommending Ready Care Services as an excellent care company.
Reply from Prashant Setia, Owner / Manger at Ready Care Services (Essex)
We're so grateful for your feedback. Knowing that our support helped you feel reassured and that your mother was well looked after makes all our efforts worthwhile.

The girls are excellent, they keep my Dad very well. They also help me with getting shopping out of car.
I know that Dad is in good hands and they ensure he is clean and well fed.
Recently they have had to act quick and get the ambulance out. They didn't panic and he was taken to hospital.
They
are all very caring towards Dad. We are very happy with their excellent care.

While some staff members went above and beyond to provide exceptional care, there were mistakes where other staff members seemed disinterested and didn't meet the same standard. Despite these drawbacks, Ready Care Services Limited offer a decent level of care, but there is room for improvement in consistency
and staff performance to ensure a consistently exceptional experience.

  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
