Overall Experience

I am pleased with the service from Magic Helping Hands. The carers are genuinely caring and good at timekeeping. The company try their best to adjust care visits around any family needs and social events. I couldn't manage without their help in looking after my severely disabled husband

Always caring and available at the end of a phone. The staff were always well presented and courteous. If needed in the future we will be willing to choose them as carers once again although we hope this will not be necessary.

Overall Experience

My mum has dementia and has had live-in care since March 2025. This has helped by keeping her in her own home and also someone living in her house has made it easier for me as a daughter. She now has the company she needs and the carers make sure she eats + drinks properly. I cannot fault all the carers who have been to look after mum. They have all been friendly and have mum's interests at heart. The office has been great when I have needed to email with any queries/updates. They reply promptly, or if they can't reply straight away they will say when someone will get back to me.

Reply from Esther Adediwura, Manager at Magic Helping Hands

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that live-in care has brought your mum both companionship and support, and that it has given you peace of mind too. It's wonderful to know our carers and office team have made a positive difference, and we will share your feedback with them. We feel privileged to support your mum and your family.

Magic Helping Hands cared for my mother for a few years after she broke her hip and returned home from hospital. She was mobile initially but unfortunately deteriorated becoming bed bound. They accessed her care needs regularly, and respected mum's wishes and dignity.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a privilege to care for your mum. Were especially glad to hear she felt respected and that her wishes were honoured throughout.

I find all the carers helpful and pleasant to have around. It makes my day when they come over because no one comes to visit me often so having them around makes me feel less lonely and happy. I wouldn't change it for the world, they are all like family to me!

We are thrilled to hear that our carers have made such a positive impact and that you feel supported and valued. We will continue to do our very best to ensure you receive the care and companionship you deserve! Thank you for your kind words.

Overall Experience
My parents had a few carers from Magic Helping Hands when the main carer assigned to my parents had a well-deserved time off. The quality of care was always very good, and the main carer, who went above and beyond to make sure I was kept informed and reassured of my parents' welfare was truly outstanding. Thank you very much.

The office team was always helpful, supportive and very pleasant.

Overall Experience
We had several carers from this company looking after my mother 24/7 and had a positive experience with all these young people but especially the last young lady in attendance who left us today. All of them gave Mum really good care and consideration. We gave this company 4 stars but had we been assessing based on the last carer we would have given 5 stars. She was superb.

Thank you Magic Helping Hands.

When we thought we had no where to turn to Magic Helping Hands were there, and then we were introduced to our carer who lived with my dad and became part of the family and helped create happy times and we will forever be grateful.

Overall Experience

My father's regular carer(s) provide outstanding care. The standard of care is not quite so high when other carers stand in for regular carers on leave, but this is mainly due to a lack of familiarity, most probably.

Reply from Yema Akinwande, Registered Manager at Magic Helping Hands

Thank you for this feedback. We are glad that you find your father's regular carers outstanding. We have taken your feedback onboard, and we will ensure that your father gets the same quality of care despite his regular carers being away.

Review from Rebecca Z (Daughter of Client) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I wrote a review when Mum first started receiving care from Magic Helping Hands in 2021. Since her latest discharge from hospital last week, she has an enhanced care package. She is very content and well cared for and has 5 to 6 regular carers. She writes down their names so she can try and remember them.
Every one of them couldn’t be kinder or more caring, helping her feel very loved which is so important for her recovery.
For us, it is also very reassuring to know she is in safe hands when we are not around.
We work well with the care coordinator who is also very caring, and the carers themselves contact me if they have any concerns and they are extremely helpful when an emergency arises.

Thank you Magic Helping Hands!

Reply from Yema Akinwande, Registered Manager at Magic Helping Hands

Thank you for taking the time out to do this review. We are very pleased that yourself and your mother are both happy with the care that we provide. We will continue and strive to ensure our clients receive the best care we can offer.

Overall Experience
My dad has been in and out of hospital since November 2021 and has had several care companies looking after him, who have let him down on many occasions, but finally, he has found Magic Helping Hands. They are caring, always turn up, not once have they let him down, every carer is very compassionate and they really have made sure my dad is safe and has everything he needs before they leave.
The carer has been so good to my dad and he feels really comfortable when the carer cares for him. All the carers my dad has had are excellent, every need is taken care of.

The staff are so lovely and they keep you updated on anything that you may be worried about, it's so nice to actually talk to management, which is so rare nowadays. So a really big thank you for care and compassion. Please pass our thanks on to all the lovely staff at Magic Helping Hands, keep up your exceptional work, it is very much appreciated.

Magic Helping Hands is a very helpful agency. They always take good care of my son and treat him very well. They attend their shifts on time, they are very clean and tidy. My son is a very fussy eater and they encourage him to eat well. If there are any concerns they report this to myself and their manager straight away. They have helped with all my sons' medication making sure we always have a good stock. I am happy with the service provided by Magic Helping Hands and I will highly recommend them.
