Overall Experience

When I found I was to be part of Silverstars Care I need that many clients found they made friends with their regular carers. After a few weeks I found exactly that - carers became friends. My family is also pleased with the way the care is carried out and kept in touch with any problems. However having said this I found one carer fell short of the standard required. I am now paying for 45 mins in the morning and 15 mins in the evening. I receive 20 mins in the morning & 5 mins, with no interaction or friendships. I complained to the office this carer did a few tasks that were missed previously but her attitude has not changed.

Review from M G (Brother of Client) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I highly recommend Silver Stars care.
We contacted them to support us on a day trip for our brother, who has late-stage MND.
The lady was always quick, clear and empathetic to our particular circumstances and needs and helped us get organised for the day.
Our carer was diligent, thorough, kind and clearly experienced in this specialist type of care. He looked after our brother with dignity and great care, and he was lovely company to have with us on the trip too. We had peace of mind that we had excellent support with us.

Can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making our special day trip operate smoothly.

Overall Experience

My father receives excellent care from this team of carers. They arrive when they say they will and help him get up, washed/showered and dressed. He thinks very highly of them all. The Rota is sent out every evening so I can tell him in advance what time they are arriving the following morning. Very reassuring for the family too. No complaints.

Overall Experience
Silver Stars it can be said are excellent at communication phone. They are pleasant, helpful and unruffled.

If changes to arrangements are in the pipeline I can usually contact a member of staff during the late afternoon. While ready to react to events carers can point to a very acceptable record for punctuality and they have a sense of humour

Review from A E (Son of Client) published on 31 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Extremely understanding and always looking to meet the client's wishes - and even
demands.
Very predictable and reliable. They have gone out of their way to increase calling frequency from 2x to 3x a day.

A good history and record of each visit is made and on the infrequent times I have called I have always had the feeling that they were fully on top of events on the day with my mother.

Review from Pete H (Husband of Client) published on 31 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I find Silverstars Care to be a really outstanding care provider. The overall care is exceptional. Each carer is very attentive and thoughtful of the needs of my wife. They all help her with compassion and in a friendly manner, which helps her a great deal. The atmosphere they create is a real help to me and I am very grateful for it.
Also, I must say that not only are the staff friendly and cheerful, but they have shown great professionalism and have given me good advice about the care needs of a person with Alzheimer's.
All staff arrive on time, as per the comprehensive rota that the office sends out to me - which again is a real help for me to know when staff are arriving.

Overall, I am so pleased to have Silverstars helping my wife and I through this journey - I would highly recommend them.

Overall Experience

Every carer has been excellent, on time, very cheerful attitude and treats my partner with compassion and care and is always polite. I personally wouldn't know how I would cope without them, as before getting my partner showered and dressed was so hard and made my back ache etc. So thank you very much for your help.

Overall Experience
I think overall the care has been amazing.
There have been a couple of times that I have been fortunate to be there, things would be a bit different.
Very friendly, and you can tell the people that care.
Some spend the time chatting with mum, 1 or 2 do what they have to and go.

Overall my mum is happy.

Review from Roger D (Husband of Client) published on 30 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Carers excellent and one visit a day at 9.00 is very acceptable. Hopefully this will continue as it has for the last year. My wife has a wash every morning which is essential as she is bed-bound and her skin needs to be checked regularly, which is important and is being done regularly.

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad to hear that the care provided has been excellent and that the daily 9:00 am visits are working well for you and your wife.
