Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Most of the carers are very friendly and they all do a good caring job. Very obliging & helpful. If I have just one negative comment-it's very upsetting to see and hear the equipment hitting the paintwork and walls. We have a lot of scratches and bashes, chips of paint on the floor. Sometimes the equipment.
is used to open the doors!
All in all though, the carers are lovely people.
Reply from Katie arlow, Care Manager at Fuchsia Homecare Cambridge

The care I receive from the carers is excellent. They are very professional and caring. I receive a rota each week so I know who to expect and the timescale. They let me know if anything changes. I am able to discuss with them any issues that come up. Note, these are minor. If there are any examples,
if I want to change my nighttime drink.

Review from John T (Son of Client) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall my mother is reasonably happy with the level of service. The majority of carers have been friendly and helpful. We have had a physio come in to try and help my mother with her walking. Mostly the carers have carried this on with her which she enjoys. However, some of them sat in the car for
a while before and after attending my mother. As they are paying for this they should be inside helping for the whole half hour. Otherwise, why are they paying for 2 carers when 1 would appear to be enough?
Reply from Nicusor Oleleu, Director at Fuchsia Homecare Cambridge

Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that your mom enjoys the exercises. As for her care, her physiotherapist will need to assess her progress to determine if she is ready to manage with one care worker. Once they make this assessment, either they or we can report the findings to social services. We are hopeful that this transition to one care worker will happen soon.

Review from P L (Client) published on 17 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have carers three mornings a week to supervise showering - mainly for my daughter's peace of mind, - but I regard the three regular carers on my rota as not just carers but real friends. They all balance these aspects perfectly, efficiently, and professionally. Without exception, every visit is a
delight and a ray of sunshine to start what is usually a long lonely day. I feel I can trust all of them implicitly with the topics of care and concern which I may have. I am so lucky to have found Fuchsia and I hope to have this level of care for a long time to come. Thank you all.

Roster times are not being adhered to and generally running late in the time frames. We are I suppose lucky to mostly have the "A" team of carers who are very very caring and neat and tidy. Glad that one carer has sorted out her car, on that front, she had a car problem on 4th March lunch time so I
phoned in and cancelled that visit but you still charged me for it.

Overall I am pleased with the care you give to my husband, but sometimes there are language difficulties. The carers you send are always pleasant and well-mannered but one pair you send can be very erratic time-wise.

All kind, caring and supportive, happy with the service. The only issue is sometimes I ring the office to cancel a visit and the message doesn't get passed on to the staff involved, had problems getting block care in the past, lack of communication.
Reply from Nicusor Oleleu, Director at Fuchsia Homecare Cambridge

Thank you very much for the review. We are sorry to hear that you experienced that with our company and we will try to make sure that the message is passed on to the team involved. Sometimes because of the lack of staff we cannot cover block of care but we trying our best to meet all our customers needs.

Found this company extremely helpful in getting my mother back to health, when she came out of hospital and since then she has improved greatly, found the carers very professional, supportive and caring and also very tidy at clearing up after themselves. Much appreciated.

The carers are very kind to my parents, they talk to my mum even though she is unable to respond and always make an effort to talk to my dad and ask if they can do anything else to help out. They both feel comfortable with them.

The carers appear to have a good rapport with my mum. Timings of visits are not constant or reliable, so it is not always easy to see a carer. They are competent and reliable. Housekeeping is of a good standard.

I feel that the carers looking after my mum have done a great job, they've been polite, courteous, patient and very compassionate. At first, we were concerned that the language could be a barrier but all the carers have been relatively fluent.
