Review from Terry S (Son of Client) published on 28 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The carers took care to make sure that my mum was happy and cared for whilst maintaining her dignity. My mum loved a laugh and a joke and the carers took time after ensuring her needs were met to have a laugh and a joke.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

We are very grateful to receive such a positive review. Really pleased that your mum valued those moments she spent with the Staff chatting and having a laugh together as this meant a lot to her.

Overall Experience

Compassion Plus Healthcare has provided amazing care for my father-in-law over the past year. He is unable to walk and has limited speech, he relies on his carers for his mobility and hygiene needs. They are kind, caring and professional. They have demonstrated that his safety and welfare is paramount particularly with skincare. They also provide daily chats and social contact for both my father and mother-in-law as well. During the lockdowns, they have been their only contact and as a family we are so grateful for the staff's care and diligence.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

Thank you for the very positive review. It's a pleasure to provide care and support to your father-in-law. We will share this review with the rest of the care team.

Overall Experience
Compassion Plus Healthcare have been caring for my 81-year-old mother-in-law, since January of this year. She has Alzheimer's and unfortunately her memory declined rapidly following her catching Covid-19 late last year.
What I really like about Compassion Plus Healthcare is that there are only a small number of carers who visit her so they very quickly built up a rapport with her. This makes her feel more at ease and I feel she sees their visits like a friend popping in. They go out of their way to chat with her, encourage her to eat, offer to take her for walks and have even gone looking for her when she has wandered off.
Whenever there has been a problem the communication has been excellent and I feel we could phone at any time if we had a concern.
The app is great for us to see what is happening on a day-to-day basis.

I would recommend this company without any hesitation.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

I am very happy with the service that Compassion Plus Healthcare provides my dad. He finds all the staff very friendly and amenable. They certainly make him feel valued and cared for.
The app allows me to check up on his visits and the care that he is receiving, plus it allows me to view any concerns that the carers have.
The manager has been very flexible in regards to my dad’s changing needs. They have been able to accommodate all of our requests.

Overall, we are very glad that we chose Compassion Plus.

Overall Experience

Compassion Plus Healthcare cared for my mother in the last 2 months of her life and the care they gave was outstanding. All the staff and carers we had contact with were very professional and caring. They quickly built a good relationship with my mum and the rest of our family and always treated Mum with such gentleness, care and dignity. Two of her main carers were with us when Mum passed away and they both dealt with the situation in a very calm and quietly confident way, which really helped us all and since then have been in contact with us to check how we are all doing. We had wanted carers who would work with us to keep Mum at home to the end and Compassion Plus did everything we could have hoped for to help us achieve that and we have no hesitation in recommending them to other people.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

Thank you for such kind words. It was such a privilege to care for your mum in her final days. I am very pleased to learn that you found the care, support and attention given to her and the rest of the family reassuring at such a challenging time. We will share the positive feedback with the rest of the team.

Review from Christopher L (Husband of Client) published on 23 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have found the carers extremely polite and helpful.
They are very knowledgeable and their advice is always useful.
They treat my wife in a friendly and pleasant manner and, if they can, help her with any problems which she may have.

At her age she is often forgetful and they are not bothered if they have to answer the same question several times.

Thank you for this review. We are so pleased you are happy with how the care staff support your wife. We strive to provide the best care possible in a compassionate and caring way. We will share this review with the staff to let them know how much you and your wife appreciate them.

This is the first agency to provide male carers, of which my son loves. He also loves the ladies of course. Carers are thoughtful and gentle when with my son. He loves going out with carers but because of Covid this has had to stop. It's the best agency I've ever had.

Review from Christopher M (Son of Client) published on 22 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The care staff were exemplary in the compassion and love shown to Dad in his last days alive. One carer personally took on caring for Dad in an extremely loving way. On the day of our Dad's passing, she had been caring for Dad selflessly for a couple of days. My brother was in attendance holding Dad's hand and told me that Dad was not really disturbed and was joking with them and laughing as he passed away.

There had always been a good rapport between the carers and Dad. We were so glad to choose this company, and from day one, there was a large level of trust and love between the carers and ourselves. Care staff were all of the highest calibre, and this showed in the care given in these extremely trying and testing times.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

Thank you Chris for such kind words. The staff enjoyed caring for your dad and spending time with him especially the later stages of his life. I am very delighted to know that the staff formed a trusting and caring relationship with your dad, he will be missed by all knew him. We will let the team know how much you, your dad and brother appreciated their support.

Two members of staff have been extremely helpful and gone out of their way to help us and set up care at quite short notice. The carers who have visited to date have without fail been kind, professional and very caring. They have also worn PPE and been very careful and gentle with my dad. I would highly recommend the whole team.

Reply from Liz Maposa, Registered Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

Thank you Theresa for such kind words. We are pleased you are happy with the care being provided for your dad. Your dad is a pleasure to support. I have no doubt the carers will continue to deliver the best care possible for him. I will inform the team of your feedback and kind words.

Review from Paulina (Daughter of Client) published on 28 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Compassion Plus has all the most important components, after meeting them without worry or hesitation I could completely entrust the care of my mother to them and I felt I had much-needed peace of mind and a much-needed break. The medical history is taken in depth there is constant communication between myself and the managers which in turn is immediately passed to the carers. The managers, owners and carers are honestly so kind so professional and a joy to be around they are also incredibly on the ball with every detail, I only have to mention something and it is implemented immediately, they go above and beyond to care for my mother. Apart from the very professional care given I really appreciate that they are all so approachable they actually care and listen to you and nothing is too much trouble. But perhaps above all this the most important observation I can give is that as the agency’s name suggests they are genuinely compassionate.

Overall Experience

I am very pleased with the care given to my mum. The care company have tried to keep the same carer going in as this is very helpful for my mum and keeps her in a good routine. The carer has worked hard to build a good relationship with my mum and this helps keep mum calm and allows her to be able to laugh and joke during her visit. The app used to record the visit is excellent and allows us to see how the visit has gone, it includes photographs, if mum gives consent, if she has a medical problem which has proved invaluable in getting prescriptions from the Doctors during this very difficult time for the NHS. The staff are very approachable and friendly and try to accommodate mum's individual needs for each visit she receives. As a family, we hugely appreciate all they do for mum.

Over the past 12 years, I have encountered many care agencies for both my parents and I can say that Compassion Plus are without doubt the most professional, attentive, caring, well managed and well organized company I have dealt with. The staff are understanding and communicate with me regularly and along with the app, I am always kept up to date with detailed reports of each visit, they are both very supportive to my parents and me. Compassion Plus are doing an amazing job under very difficult circumstances. It is quite clear that my mum's care, wellbeing and safety are their utmost concern. I highly recommend this agency.

I have nothing but great things to say about Compassion Plus Healthcare. They have been looking after my Dad for almost one year now and the experience has been very positive. Both managers do a great job of running the care team and are always a pleasure to speak to. The carers themselves always do a great job for my Dad. The Birdie App - which allows us to get an update on each visit - is really useful. I am so pleased we are clients of Compassion Plus!

Hi, my name is Liz, and I am the Managing Director for Compassion Plus Healthcare. I come with extensive experience in managing Home care and health care services with a demonstrated history of working in the NHS & Social Health Care industry. I am skilled in Operational Management, Performance Management, Healthcare Management, and Healthcare. I am a strong education professional with a Master’s degree in Occupational Psychology, BSc (Hons) Psychology, and I am a Registered Nurse in Mental Health.

Vickie Pye
Vickie PyeJob Title:Support ManagerJoined: 2021

Hi, my name is Vickie, and I am the Supported Living Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare.

I have worked in health and social care for nearly 15 years and remain as passionate about supporting people today as I was when I first started my career. I began working in residential care before discovering supported living, where I found my true passion for empowering people to live as independently as possible while achieving their personal goals.

As I developed in my career, I gained further qualifications and progressed into management so that I could make an even greater difference to the lives of the people we support and the teams who care for them. I am committed to ensuring that every person receives high-quality, person-centred support that respects their choices, promotes their independence, and helps them live fulfilling lives.

At Compassion Plus Healthcare, I am proud to lead a dedicated team that shares my belief that every individual should be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Seeing people grow in confidence, achieve their aspirations, and enjoy the best possible quality of life is the most rewarding part of my role.

Shalom Jani
Shalom JaniJob Title:Training Manager and Care CoordinatorJoined: 2023

Hello, my name is Shalom, and I am a Care Coordinator at Compassion Plus Healthcare, with responsibility for Training and Compliance.

I have been part of the Compassion Plus Healthcare family for three years, and I genuinely enjoy the variety my role brings. I support with care coordination, staff rotas, recruitment, supervisions, training, and compliance, helping to ensure our team has everything they need to provide safe, compassionate, and person-centred care.

One of the things I am most passionate about is training. I believe that when staff feel confident, well supported, and have the right skills, they can provide the very best care to the people we support. I love helping our team learn and develop because I know it makes a real difference to the quality of care we deliver every day.

The best part of my job is spending time with the people we support and seeing them achieve things that matter to them, whether it's becoming more independent, building confidence, or simply enjoying life. Knowing that I have played a small part in that journey is incredibly rewarding.

I also feel very lucky to work alongside such a caring and supportive team. Every day brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and make a positive difference, and I'm proud to be part of Compassion Plus Healthcare.
