Your appreciation means a great deal to us, and we will ensure your comments are shared with the carers involved. Thank you again for your trust and support.
Our family is extremely pleased with the service which our Mother gets from Fuscia home care. My Mother really likes both her main carer and the lady who comes in to cover and she finds them very kind, helpful and extremely professional in the job that they are doing.
The service that they provide has enabled my Mother to live in her own home safe in the knowledge that she will be well cared for.
Although we are not allowed to mention the carers names in this survey we hope that they know how much appreciated they are.

The carers are attentive and kind while doing what needs to be done. When we need flexibility they always adapt. Most importantly they listen to my wife, do what she asks and explain what they are doing when they do it.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very pleased to hear that our carers have been attentive, kind, and responsive to your needs. Listening carefully, respecting individual wishes, and ensuring clear communication are essential parts of the care we aim to provide.
All the carers that attended my wife for several years were unfailingly professional, kind, friendly and immensely helpful. Two managers, Bogdan and Emma often attended my wife personally and always went above and beyond to make her feel that she was special and one of their favourites. All the carers took their time with their duties and made sure she was comfortable and happy before they left. They treated her as an intelligent, valued individual at all times. Bogdan and Emma, in particular, enhanced the last months of her life by including her in tales of their lives and relationships. I cannot praise their service highly enough or find the words to express my immense gratitude for their care and friendship.
It was a privilege to support your wife over the years, and we are deeply honoured that you entrusted us with her care. Your recognition of the professionalism, kindness and dedication shown by our carers means a great deal to the whole team.
We are especially moved by your comments about the...
Fuchsia has cared for my mother for six years, coming to our home four times a day and providing sitting services. Their team is professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated, always ensuring my mother's comfort, safety, and dignity. Living with her, I saw firsthand the attention and empathy they brought - everything I say is based on my experience.
Fuchsia made a challenging situation manageable and gave me peace of mind. This is a perfect, reliable, and caring agency. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback.
It has been a privilege to support your mother over the past six years, and we are truly grateful for the trust you placed in our team. Providing consistent, compassionate care while maintaining comfort, safety and dignity is always...
Fuchsia homecare provided the care for my stepmother in law for many years they are a dedicate team they took care of her efficiently the carers are kind supportive and caring and reliable she was very happy for they're support we would recommend them the overall team are very good many thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind words and recommendation.
It has been a privilege to support your stepmother-in-law over the years. We are delighted to hear that she felt happy and well cared for by our team. Your feedback means a great deal to us and will be shared with the carers involved.
You'll get issues after issues with the start saying, leave it with me. Months go by, you demand to speak to the "manager" Emma, but she hasn't took the time to go through any of the issues so she is unaware of what is actually going on. And to be hung up on, and never phoned back.
The oncall doesn't answer or ring back when they know my mum is fully unwell.
Not sticking to the legal time of how long to leave my mum in between call, staying only 6 minutes. The list goes on, but this place is horrid.
And I don't understand how you can employ someone that doesn't speak English. How can they possibly ring an ambulance if need, how can they possibly get to know the people in need. Have reported to cqc.
Any concerns raised with our office are taken seriously, recorded, and reviewed...
Very friendly staff, and any problems have been discussed sympathetically in sometimes difficult situations. Communications have been relatively easy, especially when I cannot be there. It is very useful to have the care rota to plan other visits around this. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we apricate your kind words!
For the week my husband was at home between hospital/hospice care, Fuschia took exceptional care of him. Carers were kind, friendly and approachable. They respected our home, but at the same time were comfortable operating within a domestic setting. They won our trust very quickly and took away any fears or concerns we had about strangers coming into our home. I could not praise them highly enough.
Thank you very much for your kind words, we will be sure to pass them on to your care team!
As a family we were concerned when told our care provided was going to be changed over to another company. There really was no need for worry. Your team came in, made a transition extremely easy and my father's care has been nothing but exceptional. Every decision made by our carers for my dad, takes his wellbeing into account first and foremost. Thank you for treating my dad with respect and kindness whilst he sees out the rest of his days with us.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We will be sure to pass the information over to your care team.
Very caring staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Very sociable and look forward to seeing them. Good to see smiling faces. Family members who have met them are pleased with their service as well. Well done!
What lovely feedback - thank you for your kind words. We will be sure to pass this over to your care team!
Carers are treated politely and respectfully. Care: the quality varies from carer to carer.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We are very pleased you're happy with your care workers!
Having used Fuchsia Homecare since July 2023 I have no complaints.
Thank you for your review, we apricate the time taken to leave us such a wonderful review.
There is sometimes a lack of communication. More gentle care needs to be taken when moving. The care is good apart from odd carers want to do the care the way they want to not the way the service user wants.
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you find our care generally good. We are committed to improving our communication and ensuring that all care is delivered in a gentle and personalised manner, respecting the preferences of our service users. Your insights help us continually...
The two carers are always happy and helpful.
Thank you very much for the feedback, we will be sure to inform your carers!
It's okay, had problems last September with carers refusing to move my wife from bedroom to lounge. Had to have lifting hoists fitted which has taken nine months to get fitted.
Our main priority as a home care provider is the health and safety of both our customers and our carers. In this instance, for the safety of your wife and our carers, after much discussion and many assessments, we deemed it unsafe to be transferred in any way...
Very happy with my carers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very pleased you are happy with your carers.
The carers are excellent. Very helpful can't fault them in any way.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I will be sure to inform the team of your kind words.
