Appearance scruffy compared to other agencies. In and out too quick. I don't feel clean after wash. Talking in their language.

Absolutely superb. I have used them for about 5 years, and I can't praise them enough. Always treated with the utmost care and respect, always friendly and on time. If my circumstances have changed, they have taken the time to make sure that they know what I need.

The carers are very good and help my father especially when he has not been well, such as during a bout of gastroentiritis. We could not go on without them.

Overall Experience
Ivy Care has been absolutely outstanding in the care they provided for both my elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law. They supported our family right through to end-of-life care with compassion, dignity, and professionalism.
Every carer we encountered was incredibly kind, consistently showing genuine respect, understanding, and patience. Their unwavering dedication meant the world to me. Without their support, I simply wouldn't have been able to manage a full-time job while ensuring my in-laws received the care they deserved.
The peace of mind I felt each day, knowing my loved ones were in such capable and compassionate hands, is something I will always be grateful for. I'm truly thankful for the amazing work the carers at Ivy Care do, and I'm so glad we chose them.

I would highly recommend Ivy Care to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and dependable care for a loved one.

Ivy Care provided outstanding support for both my mum and dad, right through to end-of-life care. Every carer we met was kind, respectful, and deeply compassionate. Their professionalism gave our family peace of mind and allowed my wife to continue working full-time, knowing our parents were in safe hands. I'm truly grateful and would highly recommend Ivy Care to anyone in need of dependable, heartfelt care.

Overall Experience

My experience with one of the carers was really helpful. I was suffering from anorexia bulimia and BPD therefore, I was very sick because of not eating and purging to the point I would spend days without eating. He made sure I was eating (stayed til my food was at least digested for a bit, and even fed me if needed!) I really recommend him and his teams!

Overall Experience

The services we received from Ivy Care was second to none. The teams of carers that called on us were courteous, sympathetic and very professional. They treated my wife with great care and attention. They dealt with her needs and made sure that her comfort was paramount. We would recommend Ivy Care as the company to use.This is because the carers and staff go the extra mile. Hence we felt that they were not only carers but close family and friends. Thank you.

Review from Christine M (Client / Service User) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff are generally friendly and willing to help where needed. My home is left clean esp bathroom, kitchen and bathroom floors. I am left ready to get on with my days cheerful and in good order. They are here for the full 30 minutes. Most people are calm and good natured which makes them pleasant to have in my home. Ivy Care was recommended to me and I would choose them again if needed. Initially they helped me get back on my feet after a long stay in hospital and definitely helped me regain my confidence.

Overall Experience

Ivy care have looked after nan for about a year and we cannot thank them enough. They have all been amazing, communication is great and anything they feel gran has needed medically or personal care wise they advised us of. They were brilliant when gran passed and became a huge part of our family over the last year seeing gran and granddad 4 times a day 7 days a week. Their care was hugely appreciated by both gran and granddad and myself and my brother.

Overall Experience
I am extremely impressed with the role offered by Ivy Care. Having been recently discharged from hospital following repairs to femur fractures, I need help to wash and dress. Their attitude is kind and friendly and they fully understand my needs when it comes to dealing with my pain threshold.

Their approach is very professional and friendly, indeed I look forward to their daily visits. I have no doubt recommending their services to anyone looking for an experienced care organisation whose only concern is for the client’s wellbeing.

Thank you to the amazing staff at Ivy Care. Mum was in your care for the last months of her life, we couldn't have asked for a kinder, more helpful group of people. She so enjoyed the carer popping in during the day and the care they gave was amazing. I highly recommend this company. Ten out of ten.

My mother found it difficult at the start to accept care. However, the staff are professional, friendly, hard-working and do an excellent job. They keep the client safe, feeling cared for and are good at developing positive working relationships with the clients and others involved regularly with their care. My mother looks forward to every care call she receives. I would highly recommend this company.
