I am happy with my care. The only thing I don't like is when it is wet. She brings in all the dirt on her shoes so the floors get dirty. I have told her but it still happens every time it is wet. Also she drops a lot of tablets on the floor and never picks them up. Also when she is having 2 days off
together I don't get the same cares on the 2 days, but the care I get is very good.

My father has been cared for 4 times a day since returning home from hospital. In this time he has had regular carers that come 6 of the 7 days a week (usually). On the seventh day, a different set of carers attended. Thursday, 15 May 2025, was one of those days. On this day, the carers were here for
less time than we are billed for, around 10 minutes of the 30 minutes. My father was not properly washed and positioned for overnight with his arm under his body. This caused discomfort, and also no urine bag as it was not emptied.


The ratings are only applicable to the carers who are not the regular carers.

Reply from Bethany Cates, admin at Fuchsia Homecare Gorleston

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I sincerely apologise for the experience your father had on Thursday, 15 May 2025. It's important to us that all our clients receive consistent, thorough, and compassionate care, regardless of which carers are attending. I am sorry to hear that the care provided on that day did not meet these standards, particularly regarding the time spent, proper washing, positioning, and the management of the urine bag.Please be assured that we take your concerns seriously. We will review this incident with the team to understand what happened and to ensure that such issues are addressed promptly. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service and maintain the high standards we strive for.

I am very pleased with most of my carers. I have a good relationship with my regular carers and they are able to understand when I am feeling low and need extra support from them. Unfortunately a bond is not made with my relief staff. I feel it would be moral boosting if management passed on to cares
praise that I have given through the manger I have had contact with.

Reply from Bethany Cates, admin at Fuchsia Homecare Gorleston

We understand how valuable consistent relationships are, and we will certainly pass on your kind words and praise to the carers through your manager. Your feedback is very encouraging and helps us recognise the efforts of our team members.

I have been caring for my neighbour for over 12 years, and after becoming bedbound, we had to request carers to attend to her 4 x per day. The previous care agency let her down, we are thankful we had Fushia Care to take over her care. Her carers have been with us for over 3 years they are amazing,
caring, deal with her care, dignity and respect. I am advised promptly if there are any concerns. This has given the family peace of mind but most importantly the client trusts them. We are grateful, thank you.

My mum is very well looked after by all the carers. They have time to speak to mum and interact. The care is second to none. They treat mum with courtesy and dignity. Could not ask for any more. They always ask if I am okay we have a good bond and anything they feel mom needs they will speak to me.
They are great with my grandchildren and grand-dog. They are like part of the family.

Fuchsia are exceptional. They have helped me massively. Helped all areas of my well-being. I'm exceptionally young compared to the typical age bracket but this has not stopped me. They have supported, helped and adapted the things trying to cater for my age and needs. Helping me try and gain and keep
independence. This company are best care provider we have come across as a family. Highly recommend will never change until hopefully need is no more. Outstanding, fantastic, amazing people care all around!

Very happy with the carers we had for my partner. They washed, cleaned and changed his clothes every day. Also kept checking his catheter bag. They talked to him and had a laugh. They did get him walking with his frame. All the carers we saw were friendly day and night.

The care provided can be at different levels of skill set. The problems seem to be when someone goes off sick or on holiday. The cover provided is not always to a good standard. Some seem inexperienced. I am not impressed with the management, who seem to set the standard at a low level, looking at the
vacancy advert on their own website. When you do complain (which is not very often) they make excuses, but you can’t excuse the inexcusable. Just saying sorry all the time is not good enough.

Reply from Wynabelle Ausan, Operations Manager at Fuchsia Homecare Gorleston

Overall very happy with the carers, however on the odd occasion when we have a change of carers they seem to be late, especially in the morning visit, for example, there was a situation when the carers arrived and I had gone out and my mother had to wait in bed until they came.
We understand that if
something happens they cannot control it, however, if someone could have rang us to let us know they were going to be late it would have eased our minds.

Reply from Wynabelle Ausan, Operations Manager at Fuchsia Homecare Gorleston
