Overall Experience
I used this service for emergency care for my mum who has dementia.

They responded quickly with a visit to assess mum. The worker who did a night-shift with mum was very good and treated my mum with respect and dignity. I arranged the care in Scotland my mum lives in Leeds very impressed with how quick it was arranged I would recommend this service.

Review from M C (Friend of Client) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My friend has care visits three times a day as, whilst she is not bedridden, she prefers to stay in bed as she has had several falls whilst going downstairs. The carers are friendly and respectful to my friend (believe me they would know from her if they were not).
There are no complaints about the service she receives.

The only comment I have is that the carers do not seem to stay very long and my friend gets a bit concerned that she does not always know who is coming in the house, and general information regarding her needs are not always made known.

Reply from Dale Thornton, Registered Manager at Local Homecare Leeds

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that it is felt the standard of care your friend receives is very good. Local Homecare has invested heavily in electronic monitoring systems which eliminates people leaving calls before the duration so I would like to assure you that having...

I don't need much doing just now but I am sure if I asked for more help I would get it.

Most of the lady's ask if I need anything before they go. All I would say is it would be nice to have regular times. I don't understand why the times vary so much when in the beginning we arranged what times to have?

Many thanks for your review. After our recent conversation on the telephone, I am delighted that you are now much happier with our service and the timings have been adjusted to suit you better. We try our best to respond to every client's needs wherever possible.

First time I have organised carers to come in for 1 hour a day for a week, whilst my elderly mum was staying with us. She has very limited mobility these days and needs support with looking after herself. They were excellent going above and beyond and so professional.

My mum was very happy with how they looked after her. Very impressed - will definitely be using Kare Plus Leeds again. Highly recommend them.

Overall Experience
Having had a bitter experience with our previous provider I am delighted to say that Kare Plus has been amazing over the past 2 months we have been using them.
They listen to the needs of the client/family and ensure this is met by their team of carers. We have cameras in the home so we can check on Mum regularly and so can see the care that is given too. They arrive in the allotted time frame, they carry out tasks as requested, you can contact them via phone/text message with additional instructions or changes to requirements and these are answered promptly and passed on to the carer attending.

The staff are all lovely, they chat with Mum and take great care of her just as we wanted. This has taken a great weight off us as a family knowing she is being looked after and we appreciate it.

Reply from Donna Worth, Registered Manager at Local Homecare Leeds

Thank you for your review, we are happy that your care experience has improved. Our team of carers enjoy caring for your mum and it is a pleasure to have your mum as one of our clients.

Review from Kay T (Daughter of Client) published on 4 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It’s very comforting to know, that someone is going to see mum on days I cannot be there. The carers visit mum for 30 mins, arrive at the time arranged and it's generally the same few carers, so she gets used to certain faces. Mum says the carers are very pleasant and she enjoys having a chat in a morning. The days we need Kare Plus vary from week to week but Kare Plus are very flexible which is a great help. Would definitely recommend.

Reply from Helen Tibbs, at Local Homecare Leeds

Many thanks for your kind review. Flexibility is an important part of the service we provide, and providing a regular team of care workers is also important to us and our customers. I am glad we can give you peace of mind knowing someone is seeing Mum on the days you are not able to be there.

My helper has completely turned my world around. So helpful, caring and good company. She has sorted all my untidy cupboards, defrosted my freezer and put all my frozen food in order where I can find it. My life is so much easier and organised - wouldn't want to do without her.

Many thanks for your kind review. So pleased to hear that the service is helping you so much. Homecare is so much more than just helping people with their personal care. It should incorporate all aspects of a person's life, and I am glad that the care worker is making your life easier for you.

Kare Plus Leeds are providing a caring and efficient service. Their reliability and timekeeping have been good and the carers are well trained, friendly and conscientious. Although individual carers vary in their approach and they maintain good continuity by completing the log-book after each visit. The service manager also visits occasionally to ensure standards are maintained. Hygiene, health and safety standards have been very good.

Review from Anna D (Daughter of Client) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father requires end of life home care and we were apprehensive about finding suitable carers. We were unhappy with the choice presented to us by another provider and opted to employ private carers after speaking to the Leeds Kare manager who was helpful, knowledgeable, caring and readily met with us to discuss my father's needs. We have been absolutely delighted with the organisation of the care provided. The carers are a small team who treat my dad with respect, humour and kindness and are all very well trained and supervised. We definitely made the right choice and hope others can benefit from such a committed team in the future following their review by the CQC and approval for Kare Plus Leeds to provide another provider Continuing Care. Thank you to all concerned at Kare Plus Leeds for making this difficult time so much better than it might have been.

Reply from Helen Tibbs, at Local Homecare Leeds

Many thanks for your very kind review. Kare Plus provides a high-quality care service and when delivering End of Life support, it is as important for us to support the family as it is the customer through this difficult time. Dignity, respect and an appropriate sense of humour ease the apprehensions of the customer and make accepting the care offered so much easier.

Sometimes it's difficult for an older person to accept help. Kare Plus have been excellent with my mum, their staff are considerate and when needed, sympathetic, and despite her initial reservations, she now looks forward to their visits.

We strive to provide consistency with our care workers to enable the customers to get used to the support and build good relationships with their carers. By promoting independence the customer does not feel like their life is being taken over, and then often looks forward to the care worker visiting them. I am glad it is working in this way with Mum.
