Review from John H (Client / Service User) published on 17 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Extremely professional and friendly service that went above and beyond my needs, as a husband and father of two children we needed help with things that were taken for granted, food and cleaning being the top of my needs and these needs were fulfilled beyond and above.

Thank you.

Overall Experience
Astar are the best and only care company I would want to have! They give me a tailored to my needs support package and all the staff, carers, managers etc are very professional and caring. They go above and beyond when it comes to my care.

My frequent carer is superb and has been supporting me through my cancer diagnosis this year as well as my mental health care for a few years. She's been my rock and does absolutely anything I need. I would not be coping with my cancer at all if it wasn't for Astar. They deserve any award nominations. A++++++++.

Review from Georgia W (Daughter of Client) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mum has told me that the carers generally come on time and that the staff are good-humoured, polite, kind and will do any job that she asks them to do. My mum says that most of the carers will go well beyond their call of duty e.g. one member of staff in particular will drop items at a charity shop on her way. My mum looks forward to the carers coming every day.

Personally, I am always impressed by how smart and alert the carers are and how well they keep an eye out for health and well-being problems.

Review from R I (Husband of Client) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Rota, sometimes irregular delivery.
Washing up, sometimes leaves, cleanliness not the best.
Timekeeping, generally very good.
In general, nothing is too much trouble for the carers.

At the moment, the management is slightly changing so we will see.

Reply from Jane Phillips, Office Manager at Astar Homecare Services Ltd

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it. The weekly rota we deliver to you is done so by our team in-between care calls and therefore, at times can be slightly late, we apologise for this but always endeavor to have them delivered to you as soon as possible. Washing up may be done once...

I am a physically disabled woman of 84. I need help in the mornings to get up and going. I have assistance from Astar and I find all the carers to be first-class in their help to me.
