Couldn't get in touch with my mum on her landline so was extremely worried. Got in touch with manager and she sent carers round straight away to have a look at mums phone and they got it sorted. They are so helpful and caring.

The care given to our mum has been excellent.
Having the same carers regularly has provided a high level of continuity and the opportunity for carers to really get to know my mum and family and us to get to know them.
Carers are patient and kind, always treating Mum with dignity and respect. They
always leave her comfortable and cared for. In difficult times they brighten Mum's day. All carers are excellent and Mum's main two carers are exceptional.
We are lucky to have such caring people sharing this difficult journey with us.

I cannot praise highly enough the support and effort the team has given myself and Mum at this difficult time.
They were very respectful and thoughtful at every visit. Not only asking how Dad was and what he needed but also taking the time to speak to Mum and me.
They worked in a very tidy and considerate
way. Superb, and awesome are understatements.

I was requested to visit the client this evening due to an uneasy breathing issue, on arrival it was obvious the client had moved to an inappropriate position.
Your carers arrived, I requested the correct position and they immediately performed the request, leaving the client and family more settled.
Excellent service. Thank you.

The team provided wonderful care for Dad. They were kind to Dad and all the family, especially my mum. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They are the best of the best.
Shortly after Dad died my brother was walking near where Mum and Dad live when two of the team saw him as they were driving to
a client. They stopped and asked after all the family. They are what I think of as real Careers.
Thank you so very much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found Prime Care to be very reliable, polite and professional. The carers keep good time for appointments and will ask if I have forgotten to leave a flannel out or enquire as to where the body lotion may be kept. The morning visits in particular have been helpful to my father and give him something
to focus on first thing. The early visits also remove some of the workload from my own shoulders. I have found the staff to be respectful and courteous and I would not hesitate to recommend the company. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak too highly or heap more praise upon the care my late wife received from Prime Care.
Prime care arrived into our lives at a very difficult and emotional time in both my wife's and my own life, my wife received the most loving and sensitive care that I could have wished for, she was put
at ease at all visits by the very caring staff, this with the occasional sprinkling of light humour and understanding made each visit a pleasant experience.
May I and my family pass on our most grateful thanks to all the fine staff at Prime Care, thank you.

Review from Samuel P (Son-in-law of Client) published on 15 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Once the decision was made to have my mother-in-law remain at home and the need for Palliative care was identified, Prime Care was brought on board. This happened at an accelerated rate due to the incredibly kind, efficient, thorough and dedicated tenacity of one of the team at our local GP, Caradoc
of Frinton-on-Sea (the Paramedic). From day one Prime Care were exceptional in their; understanding, engagement and expectation management. This was to both my mother-in-law, for her immediate needs, and towards us, supporting her by her bedside until she passed. All members of the team were warm, caring and gentle as well as sensitive to the situation they were faced with thrice daily. This was extended too by the out of hours support provided by mobile phone (and at all hours). The service they provided and attentiveness went above and beyond in every sense of the word. We were blessed to have been given such support and we will be forever grateful.

All my carers were so kind and professional. They treated my dad with respect and dignity even as he got weaker and less cooperative. They allowed him to be clean, and comfortable. peaceful and relaxed in the comfort of his own home in the last weeks of his life. It was a pleasure to have them in our
home and I would highly recommend them.

Review from R R (Daughter of Client) published on 11 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I love that they enabled my mum to be at home, as this was very important to her. It was also great that they were friendly and calm and that they checked with and talked about what they were doing with the client, such as washing, rolling etc. I also really appreciate that they called me back while
on annual leave (as I guess I rang the wrong number).
They could have checked her position in bed a bit more, as occasionally her toes were touching the bed end. I found it stressful to find medication last minute at the weekend, due to the late notice of medications running out, but they did better at giving me better notice after that occasion.
My main point for improvement is notification of bowel movement, as I feel her constipation could have been avoided or at least lessened. It may have been helpful if such suspicions were mentioned to me earlier, as it had not occurred to me. It could also have been beneficial to have a written record of her bowel movement kept at the house for use to refer to. Her constipation caused her a lot of pain and distress, but I can see that it was due to a number of different things including different groups of people focusing on different aspects of her care and her symptoms and medication changing.
As such I do not wish to blame anyone, I just hope people learn from this and so prevent it happening to anyone else. Many thanks.

I have been a patient of Prime Care since the 10th of May. I have 4 visits a day with a female and male staff attending every visit. The quality of the staff is faultless and an asset to the company. There were some minor issues with call times, in particular, the late visit being too early, however,
I have accepted the company and the staff are doing their best by the patients and staff finishing times. I hope my support will continue as I have been impressed.

From day 1 the carers from Prime Care have been an absolute blessing in this house. Their care from each individual has always been "simply the best". I regularly recommend Prime Care to anyone who mentions carers to me. Each and everyone greets us with a smile and genuine friendship. I have
never had to worry about leaving a key out for them when I go to work etc. They respect our home and us. I know my husband has the best care and kindness from all at Prime Care, I never have to worry, they are simply the best.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.873 for Prime Care Domiciliary Essex is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 134 Ratings = 4.873

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Prime Care Domiciliary Essex is based on 24 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
