Excellent service from the outset. This is a perfect example of how to provide a care service. Despite the language barrier we thought might be an issue, this proved not to be the case and Mum was able to communicate her needs adequately with the girls. A professional and well organised team who kept
us informed of any potential problem and even using their initiative to call the doctor out on one occasion when Mum complained of feeling unwell. Will not hesitate to use Home Care Preferred again should we need to.

We have had a live-in carer for my husband since December 2018. The care he has had has been excellent. He was falling up to three times a day but since we have had live in care he has not fallen once.
Home Care Preferred are not only very mindful of the needs of their client but also in our case
my needs as it is very challenging initially having someone living in.
They also took care to match our carer with us.
They are always available to discuss any issues and pay enormous attention to every aspect of the care programme. I highly recommend them. I cannot speak more highly of them and they have given me my life back.

This is my first experience of needing help at home. I have been very impressed by the standards of best practice employed by Home Care Preferred. By the intelligent and well informed standards of care. The willingness and ability to help in any way needed or requested.
Also the meticulous attention
to checks that the care given is accurate and of high quality. The courtesy of keeping client informed of any changes.

My parents are really delighted with the care and assistance that the carer provides to them. He always arrives promptly and my dad who is 91 is so grateful for help washing and dressing, it makes him much less tired and able to cope and enjoy his day. The carer is very kind, patient and aware of both
my parent's physical capacities. He is also excellent company and is just a pleasure. The carer organises my father's medication, gives it to him, puts in his hearing aids, helps wash and dress him and gives him breakfast, He recognises my father's need for engagement and they have good chats. I feel my parents are in the best and safest hands and that is all you can ask for.

I am so glad I found Home Care Preferred, the carer that we have had looking after my mum has really brought her back out of her shell in under a week. Nothing is too much and they do everything to a high standard. If I have any problems I send a message and it is dealt with almost immediately.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.954 for Home Care Preferred Barnet is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.954
