Overall Experience

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.

Review from Stuart M (Husband of Client) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Daniela Baden, Marketing Manager at Fuchsia Homecare Colchester

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Absolutely shocking how this card company is run.
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.

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.

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.

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.
