Cherish have been providing care 4 times per day since the 14th of March, for My 97 years old ,step Father,initially the Manager attended to arrange the plan along with the two allocated support workers,as it was urgent care, due to a fall. The carer's have been wonderful , supportive and attentive
to His needs even feeding His cat,in My absence.The Managment took time to note his needs,likes,dislikes etc and everything has gone smoothly,despite Him never having needed any support before His fall, they have suported with personal care,dressing washing,assusting to and from bed,and even with meals. we were in crisis prior to there coming,as I had just came out of Hospital with a fractured back. He is improving daily with their support,and also wishes to express His satisfaction with the service He has been recieving these past ten days.

We have Cherish carers twice a day, morning and evening, seven days a week. They're always on time and are kind caring and professional. My husband is bed bound and even though I am at home with him and carry out the bulk of his care I find it extremely useful having someone to carry out personal care
at the beginning and end of each day. I have no hesitation in recommending them

I find that the management listen and action any concerns/questions I may have. Their service was second to none when I could not reach my father-in-law by phone. They attended, found him on the floor, comforted him, stayed with him until taken to hospital. If it wasn't for them checking on him for
me, he could have been on the floor for a long period as he was discharged from hospital without us being informed! All carers are friendly and treat him with respect.

Cherish Social Care have been caring for my father in law for almost 2 years. We had care from other care companys but have never seen such exceptional care as that given by every employee from Cherish. They are punctual and if for any reason they may be running late due to unforeseen issues, then they
always communicate with me to keep me informed. The personal care they give is amazing - full bed bath and clean shaven daily. Teeth are brushed at least twice daily. They have shown to be knowledgeable regarding issues such as pressure area care and catheter care. They always treat my father in law with dignity and respect. They are empathetic and in particular with a busy house and young child, they have adapted so well to fit in to the whole family. We struggled with previous care companies as we have a dog - cherish have been very conscientious about keeping the dog secure at all times. Highly recommend cherish social care to care for your loved ones.

I could not fault the care provided to my father following his discharge from hospital after his emergency hip replacement.
All 4 daily calls were all scheduled at the same time each day. There was never a missed call.
He was provided with continuity of care, all carers were respectful and respected
my fathers dignity. All 3 carers were amazing as well as the managers in the office. I would like thank 3 staff members in particular for looking after my father so well.

Cherish go above and beyond the call of duty. They are always one step ahead of the game and support the whole family not just the patient. They have been caring for my mum for nearly two years and we would be lost without them. Their care and attention to detail is amazing. Each and every staff member
treat my Mum with the dignity and respect she deserves but can no longer respond to. Our world is a better place for Cherish.

This company is totally professional, and discrete and will help in all aspects of your needs. I would highly recommend them. Therefore if someone needs a home carer, they can provide that and their colleagues are trained to deal with all aspects of your own home so no need to have to go into a home.
They will shop, cook meals, and always tidy up.

Cherish has been caring for my grandmother for over 3 years now and we have been so pleased with their care and professionalism. Cherish provides live-in care as well as domiciliary carers 4 times per day for her. They communicate with me regularly and any request is never an issue. The carers they
provide are respectful, and kind and provide a high standard of care to my grandmother. We previously had a bad experience with another company and were nervous when we joined with Cherish. They were able to support us and reassure us that my grandmother was in great hands. Thank you for all that you do.

This wonderful care provider has recently taken over the care for my elderly mother.
I cannot praise them enough. My mother has settled in well with the carers and the carers have settled well with her.
We have had 2 previous care companies, their service was not as professional as Cherish Social
Care.
They attend to my mother's personal care, domestic care and welfare to such a high standard.
I would recommend this care service to anyone looking for carers for their loved ones due to their reliability and compassion for the elderly.
Thank you everyone at Cherish Social Care for everything you do for my mother, you have shown that you go over and above the care you provide.
