Review from Peter D (Son of Client) published on 15 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The last 12 months provided Mum with the care to remain independent in her own residence, and before that, helped my frail dad with personal hygiene regime for many months before he eventually had to be admitted nursing home. All up, very supportive and attentive.

Overall Experience
Very good all over the board.
Very caring.
Time-keeping is excellent, and if late, there's always a good reason for it.
Cares age. If you feel sad or low, they will do their best to fix problems for you, and if they can't then, they will go out of their way to be able to help.
Well done, Serendip; you are a great team!
Always on hand if you need anything/chat about anything from the smallest thing, it counts as far as Serendip is concerned, and nothing is too much trouble for the team to sort.

Love you guys to bits 100 per cent out of 100.

Review from Paul W (Client / Service User) published on 22 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Personally, Serendip Care has been excellent. I feel qualified to make this statement because I survived the ‘care’ I received from others who identified themselves ‘care’ agencies. The carers that come to me are all, and without exception, genuinely interested in delivering the high quality of care I require. To be quite honest, this quality can not be taught and can only be described as an inherent quality! It is an intrinsic part of their makeup. It’s in their DNA. In my opinion, and it has to be said, this standard has only been achieved and maintained because management is selective. They hand pick their team. Then lead them. It goes without saying, this standard of excellence is only achieved because management is, in it’s itself, excellent. Finally, for me, as a service user, ‘my’ carers demonstrate a genuine interest. It’s not only because it’s their job, but because it’s their calling. A dedication. I dread the day when through necessity, we part company.

Dear Paul, thank you so much for this outstanding review. We are extremely proud of our team and their achievements. We will ensure to continue to keep up with our excellent standards provided by Serendip Home Care.

Review from Val C (Cousin of Client) published on 26 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We used Serendip to support my elderly cousin for the last ten months of her life. The carers visited three times per day and greatly enriched her life. They were so kind and helpful and undertook their tasks efficiently, which meant they were able to spend any remaining time providing companionship by chatting and taking her for a short walk around her garden, which she loved so much. Having worked with other care agencies in the past, we couldn’t recommend Serendip highly enough. A huge thank you to all the team.

Review from S A (Niece of Client) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Serendip has been supporting my aunt for several months. During that time, she has come to rely on them for contact, personal care and meals. She is very fond of all of them and trusts them as she knows they will care for her as she needs. As she has declined, the carers have been sympathetic and sensitive. The management of Serendip has been easy to talk to and respond to any update on my aunt's needs. I am very pleased with their service to us as a family.

Review from Christine W (Friend of Client) published on 18 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I asked Serendip to provide care for my good friend about a month ago after looking online at many companies. Serendip has provided excellent care. Nothing is too much trouble for the carers, and they often go above and beyond what is asked. There is great attention to detail, and even more importantly, my friend is listened to and respected. All the requirements I had listed have been noted and carried out. One carer even cuts and dries my friend’s hair.

What is excellent too, is that any concerns I might have, are responded to immediately by phone or email. Nothing seems too much trouble for them. I recommend Serendip 100%. Many thanks to you all.

I am very satisfied with Serendip's services in all respects. I have used them since June 2021, three times a week for a short time (30 minutes), but if my disability increases, it may have to be for longer. I usually have the same carers.

Review from P J (Client / Service User) published on 16 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

In July 21, I became disillusioned with the then home care providers, and I decided to change. That was a good decision, and for the past 9-months, I have enjoyed the services provided by Serendip. I am particularly impressed with the way they communicate with their client and with a professional attitude from the carers. After each visit, I feel a better person.

Review from Andrew B (Client / Service User) published on 9 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Serendip was extremely helpful and supported my wife to care for me whilst we were away on holiday. Serendip provided me with the same two carers throughout my week stay, which was great for consistency.

One care was professional, punctual and provided excellent care. He has exceptional knowledge about caring for people with disabilities and was flexible too in his approach. The other carer was professional, competent, and personable. Both carers are an asset to the company.

We wish to thank Serendip for providing such wonderful care during our staycation.

As soon as the need for my care was identified by professionals, Serendip made contact with me and visited for an assessment the same day, promptly arranging regular care visits. All visits have been prompt and at a time that suites us. The visiting staff were friendly, knowledgeable and capable. Serendip has been particularly perfect in every way!

Overall Experience

What more can I say but give this care company ten out of ten... from calling to arrange care for my dad to having a meeting with the manager the following day, to start his care the next week, the carers in my dad's words are 'angels' and I must say I have seen a change in him, 100 per cent. He looks forward to their arrival, the whole company is very professional. Thank you for what you do, you're a credit to the care community.

My 84-year-old father has been receiving care from Serendip for the past 9 months and we have been extremely happy with the quality of care and dignity with which they treat my dad, who has been suffering from memory difficulties. The care team is very responsive and communicate clearly with family members. I also have been impressed by the flexibility and way they always strive to improve the experience of the person they are caring for and accommodate requests.

Our Mother is a spirited 'nearly' 90-year-old, determined to live in her much loved home and familiar surroundings. This is achieved with the outstanding quality of care provided by kind and professional Carers. The office support at Serendip Home Care is also exceptional - adjusting to the needs of our Mother on a weekly basis with prompt and clear levels of communication. Thank you.
