Review from Susan T (Friend of Client) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All carers have been diligent respectful and pleasant caring people whom our friend has responded to very positively. Their input has enabled him to live at home with the extra company, regular meals, supervision with medication, help with personal hygiene and support with continence issues when needed. This has all helped improve his over all mental well being and allowed to be where he wants to be.

Reply from Amelia Benskin, Registered Manager at Quality Life UK

Thank you so much for such a lovely review.

Thank you also for giving us the opportunity to support your friend. We are really enjoying supporting him and giving him a much better quality of life! He is such a character and is really benefiting from our Live In Care service, it is wonderful to see.

The whole Team have provided very good practical empathetic care and support to my Father over the last 13 months, enabling him and my Mum to live well in their own home. The care arrangements have flexed during this time and the Care Manager and team have been very responsive when these have been requested or required.

Overall Experience

I found Quality life carers ,who were looking after a friend, very good & friendly as I visited her once a week. When my husband became ill with untreatable cancer ,I was getting so tired my family wanted me to get some help so I employed 2 different ones who alternated for just 2hrs 4 times a week. My husband liked them better than NHS nurses who had limited jobs they could do in their remit. I found them both lovely & they would do anything I wanted & when he died they became lovely company & help for me until I felt I could manage alone. I found Quality Life an ideal answer to my problems & would not hesitate to employ them again. Both the ones we had just suited us. We only had one once who may have just been learning & not quite as comfortable for us. Personalities are all different & it is important , in this work to "just click?"

Overall Experience
I have used Quality Life for over 4 years now to provide live in respite care for both my parents and my late husband.
I find it's very easy to access their services; requests are responded to promptly. Full assessments are carried out prior to the stay to ensure that needs are met appropriately.
I am always given the opportunity to meet with the allocated Carer in advance of the stay.
Carers are, without exception, warm and friendly, knowledgable and professional. I have found them to be very reassuring and are happy for me to contact them whilst I am away for updates.
I always feel that not only are my relatives treated with care and respect but also my home.

I have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Overall Experience
The process of engaging Quality Life to assist with my Dad's care was smooth and thorough. The weekly arrangements work well and correspondance with the office is promptly handled and effective. The friendly team have provided care with dignity and respect. Dad is engaged in conversation and discussions about his needs at each visit.

He particularly enjoys the trips out to the nearby town. It is reassuring that there is somebody local to him I can trust to provide any care that he needs both now and in the future.

Reply from Amelia Benskin, Registered Manager at Quality Life UK

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. It is a complete pleasure supporting your dad. he is such a lovely gentleman and it's brilliant to hear how you feel he is benefitting from the support and companionship. We look forward to a long and trusted relationship and giving your dad the love and support he deserves.

Review from Claire A (Daughter of Client) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We changed care companies last year because we wanted a local provider and, most importantly, consistency with the same carers each week. My father is very disabled and requires 24-hour live-in care, with my mother on hand to assist when needed.

The start of the new care arrangement was rocky. Some of the challenges were outside the company's control, but during the first few months we experienced a high turnover of different carers. Most of them required training by various bodies, which unfortunately placed a great deal of stress on my elderly mother, who often felt she was doing the job we were paying others to do.

Thankfully, things have now settled. We have two wonderful, consistent carers who look after my father with care and compassion and who also provide much-needed support to my mother. This stability has made a significant positive difference to our family, and we are very grateful for the care now being provided

Do not trust this agency, they make promises they can't deliver. We requested a driver and they sent a non driver. There are communication errors and Amelia is incredibly passive aggressive. The carers are ok, but are very job worthy, apparently it was above their job to take my dad to the pub and collect his two friends on route.

My dad has recently needed care and this experience was new to all of the family, however, he received 2 weeks live in care to give my mum a break and the care that he received was fantastic. He was very happy and we spoke to him whilst we were away and he was very relaxed. The carer catered for his every need. We will definitely be using them again.

This is wonderful to hear and thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a lovely review.

Overall Experience
Having known about Quality Life UK for some time, when my Mum's health deteriorated and she needed full time live in care as Dad couldn't manage on his own, Quality Life was the company I called.
They are an experienced, friendly and caring "people person" who put the client first.
When Mum eventually came home last March, The Quality Life team had prepared and worked with my family ahead of Mum's arrival.
Great care was taken in choosing carers who fitted Mum's needs and personality. Quality Life is flexible and if things don't go according to plan the close knit team will work together to find a solution.
This benefits both the clients and family members in providing the best possible experience of live in care.

I'd highly recommend Quality Life UK for Live In care.

Overall Experience
Two members of staff in particular have been so kind to our family. We were at the "end of our tether", not knowing how to care best for Mum and they have gone above and beyond what anyone would expect. When I have messaged, not knowing what to do, they have responded quickly to me. We would recommend them to anyone.
Our carer is also kind, patient and hardworking at Mum and Dad's home. My mum really likes her being in the house now.
They even helped us with Social Services and the Dr, to get what Mum and Dad need.
We can't thank them enough for their support and help at a very difficult time.

A 5-star agency!

Review from Martyn E (Husband of Client) published on 14 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My wife is very poorly, virtually housebound and limited mobility. I am her sole carer and looked around for some additional help. Quality Life was recommended by two family friends who had used their services for ageing relatives. They visited and assessed us, and took us on. They helped us navigate through the labyrinth of Social Services rules and regs as to what assistance they might provide. Communication between us and Quality Life has been first-class. One of their staff now visits 4 mornings/week and it's made a huge positive difference to us both. She is very reliable and pleasant, and we have made friends with her and the other members of staff we have met. I have confidence that when I leave my wife with the carer, she will be well looked after and be safe. We would recommend Quality Life's services wholeheartedly!

Reply from Amelia Benskin, Registered Manager at Quality Life UK

This is so fantastic to hear. We love supporting your wife and you all as a family. To know you feel happy, more relaxed and trust us to leave your wife in our hands so you can have some proper time to yourself is amazing! Your wellbeing is equally as important to us!

Quality Life made caring for my aunt their priority and enabled her to stay in her home. Despite living with Alzheimer's and having very limited vision, I believe she enjoyed her familiar surroundings. Live in care was certainly right for her and so much more personal than moving her to a care home.

Thank you so much for a lovely review. You are so right, live-in care is so much more personal and the one-to-one care and support are wonderful. It was a pleasure to support your gorgeous aunt, thank you for giving us the opportunity.

Following a recent decline in my mum’s physical well-being, we took the decision, as a family, to enlist a care provider to support her in her daily life. In what was a tough time for us all emotionally, we found Quality Life UK to be a tower of strength, both in terms of their professionalism and understanding of Mum's needs. The standard of care provided is beyond what I could ever have expected, and Mum has very quickly built a heartwarming rapport and trust with the staff assigned to her. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Quality Life UK to anyone finding themselves in a similar position.

Quality Life UK have provided care for my two elderly friends. The management team take the time to discuss the family's requirements on a regular basis and cater the care specifically for their needs. They are approachable should any issues occur or care needs have to be amended.

With 24/7 live in support the team have integrated into the family environment really well, blending into the background when required and stepping up when the situation arises, allowing the family to feel comfortable with their constant presence.
