It can be challenging for an older...

Review from Denise S (Daughter of Client) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum's four children live 100 - 150 miles away and Mum prefers to stay in her own home rather than a care home. Papillon Home Care are absolutely essential for providing care for our 95 year old Mum. Papillon have been caring and looking after Mum for the past five years and provide carers of excellent quality which allows Mum to remain in her home. Mum likes her carers visiting and they have a very good relationship with Mum. Mum enjoys the chats she has with her carers. The office staff in charge at Papillon are professional and very helpful. If there's ever anything Mum needs, they help. If there are ever any problems with Mum you can ring or email the office and they will sort it out. I would definitely recommend Papillon.

My mum has been looked after by the Papillon team for the last few months and she is very happy with her carers. Mum has dementia so a calm caring person is an absolute necessity to keep her balanced and in turn calm. We have not had any issues with mum's carers or with the Papillon team.

Overall Experience
The care provided by Papillon over the weekend for my parents was absolutely fantastic. After experiencing poor care from another company, it has restored our faith that there are wonderful carers out there who can provide the care which my lovely mum and dad deserve.
The kindness, compassion, patience, knowledge and understanding demonstrated by all 3 carers at the weekend was outstanding.
The process of Papillon gathering the necessary information regarding mum and dad's health, preferences, background etc was conducted in a timely manner with compassion, very thorough and professional. This really set the scene for everything Papillon stands for - second to none.

I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Papillon..they are five star! Thank you.

Overall Experience
Papillon cared for my mother over a number of years. Initially they dropped in daily providing support in a number of areas and also the comfort of knowing that someone was visiting every day.
As time went by the care needs increased including areas where my mother's balance and strength had deteriorated.
Latterly the service was morning and evening.
Throughout I was regularly kept in touch of any issues and the actions that the carers were taking to address challenges.

Probably the best thing I can say is that my mother considered her regular carers to be friends.

Overall Experience

My nan has recently begun to have care. She was extremely reluctant at first but with the support from Papillon office team, they were able to support Nan to understand what their role would be and to still enable her to have her independence. My nan was also anxious to have care due to her complex medical history but with the office team and care support, my nan overcame this and is now thriving.

Overall Experience

We are so lucky to have Papillon. They are so caring, kind and thoughtful, nothing is too much for them. Very knowledgeable and professional when assisting my husband with personal care. His main carer noticed he was not quite himself, she got in touch with the district nurse who came out and prescribed him antibiotics which prevented his condition deteriorating. They are all amazing, even the office staff go over and above to ensure we are well looked after. It's so reassuring knowing that they will be with us every day. It also gives our family peace of mind knowing we are being cared for by such wonderful people. I would highly recommend them.

Overall Experience

Thank you to your wonderful carers who went above and beyond. Following a fall and hospitalisation in late 2021 Nan started receiving help at home, at first from another provider, which didn’t work out. Nan was fussy, set in her ways and liked a routine. She reluctantly agreed to try another agency and thankfully things worked out with Papillon. They were understanding and accommodating to Nan's quirky ways and after time Nan built some good friendships with the girls/ladies that came to help. She would talk fondly of them and liked to tell me what they were up to, just small things like their family birthdays, getting their nails done, going out somewhere, or going on holiday. They shared their lives which kept Nan thinking of the world outside her home. As well as physical care, like washing, dressing, food, drinks and medication, they gave emotional support, company and friendship. I highly recommend Papillon and their wonderful carers.

Overall Experience
My father has a slow form of MND and this has only recently been diagnosed, having previously been assessed as having Parkinson's disease.
I spend Sundays with my partner as a day of respite each week, as I am Dad's full time carer. At the moment, he only requires a lunchtime visit to prepare a hot meal (microwaved) and to make his bed, the rest of the visit is for a bit of company and to make sure he has everything he needs to hand.

Papillon's dedicated carers are always on time, very supportive and friendly. They are a credit to the company.

A very professional service for all carers in my experience from postoperative care in mid 2020 until now and once a day.
Also very friendly and a pleasure to welcome in our home and along with management willing to listen and offer flexibility.

Moneywise and I don't know how to evaluate, probably should have more: at 93 shall eventually need from them.

We have only just started to experience the homecare world.
I called two or three home care providers, and on calling Papillon, I was immediately reassured by a member of staff that their ladies in our area have been with Papillon a long time and were really lovely.
I felt Papillon were the right fit for me and my dad! And I haven't been disappointed!

They are all very caring, everyone in the office have all been professional and caring.

Papillon Home Care provided care to my Nan for 16 months leading up to January 2021 enabling her to stay in her own home for as long as possible. The carers were amazing, going above and beyond and gave great physical support as well as company. It was a great comfort knowing how well my Nan was being cared for.

In 1992 she became involved with setting up one of the first domiciliary care agencies in Ashford and has continued to work in this field. She became the first manager to receive the Kent Homecare Registered Manager’s award going on to be the winner of the South Regional and a finalist in the National Awards.
