I found all Seasoned Hands staff whom I encountered to be both pleasant individuals and proficient in their roles as carers. Seasoned Hands helped me to care for my Grandmother during the final few months of her life.

Review from Wendy M (Granddaughter of Client) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are incredibly grateful to the team for the care and compassion they showed our grandmother in the final stages of her life.
From the very beginning, they treated her with dignity, kindness, and genuine respect. The carers were not only professional and attentive to her needs, but also warm and reassuring, which brought great comfort not just to her, but to our whole family during a very difficult time.
They communicated clearly, were always reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. It meant so much to us to know she was in safe and caring hands.

We will always appreciate the support they gave our family and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing end of-life care.

Overall Experience
Season hands looked after my mother each day over the last few years, with twice daily support visits . the team are excellent and i would highly recommend them for people who need additional support at home. All of the team that looked after mum were pleasant, polite, professional , attentive, always turned up when required and most of all they care. Season hands followed all regulatory requirements and always practiced excellent hygiene. the head office team are good to work with - they listen, they help and the are flexible to the needs of the client under their care.

i would highly recommend Season hands to families who need help in daily tasks, medication management and looking after someone.

Review from A A (Son of Client) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Seasoned Hands have been a great, trusted support to us and our mother whilst she has needed assistance over the past 4 years, and this has been very much appreciated by us and by her. She always thought the carers were respectful, kind and looked to assist her more if she required, always checking if there was anything else they could do.

We trusted them coming into her home, which feels hard at first when you need to set a key box, knowing people you don't yet know shall be visiting the house. But we were always reassured. And the individual carers seem to take great pride in their work and care, which cannot be an easy job with the different client needs, and travel in between different locations often in all weathers. I would say that the provider is of high quality, and we have seen them grow and develop over the time they have assisted us, which is no surprise due to their quality of care.

Review from A G (Daughter of Client) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the carers were kind and compassionate. They were usually punctual, and had friendly ways of engaging with our father. They related well to him and helped him greatly with his personal care. He liked them and enjoyed their company.
It could be challenging for some carers to realise the increasing disabilities arising from our father's dementia, and I felt that some did not really understand how to create an environment to encourage him with behaviours like eating and drinking and moving around. I appreciate though that these things are a challenge for all of us us, family included.
Our father would not have been able to remain at home as long as he did without the help of the SHC carers

We are extremely grateful to them all.

The care staff are always punctual and efficient and the management team very flexible in making changes to visit times af short notice.

Review from F B (Wife of Client) published on 13 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Seasoned Hands were extremely helpful in setting up morning visits to check if my husband had taken his medication while I was away at a conference for a few days. Not easy, because my husband is not always very cooperative. I was swithering between 4 and 5 stars because entering the report on the app sometimes took longer than expected, but the management have assured me that this is a problem they have dealt with. I will be using Seasoned Hands' services again soon.

Review from S M (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 7 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my mother-in-law suddenly took ill and was put in palliative care, Seasoned Hands was the only care agency that was willing to help. They were caring and professional. The girls who tended to my mother-in-law treated her with respect and dignity. Without them we would not have been able to bring her home. We used them for eight months before my mother-in-law sadly passed away. The owner was amazing, what a star she was from the very first day Mum came out of hospital. They also try and send the same team out so that they can get to know the client's needs.

On multiple grounds, I had to discharge their services. I could not have been more disappointed. There was nothing about their services that I can describe as satisfactory. I feel very badly let down.

Reply from FESTUS OJEZ, Manager at Seasoned Hands Care

We aim to provide the best possible care to those we support, which we take very seriously. Service went over and above to support you in your situation, but your peculiar circumstance made this practically impossible hence we withdrew our services. Your comments and experience therefore is not a true reflection of our service, we are a compassionate caregiver.

The team that have all done caring for me and all are very good. I have an order of preference. I especially like one lady; she is very understanding of my needs and very sensitive to her care. We get on very well together. But I have much appreciated the visits of all the staff who have been very helpful. I really depend on their caring help, and much appreciate their smiling, friendly manner.

Overall Experience

At the age of 93 (close to 94), I am confined to my one-floor apartment in a tenement built in 1824. I spend much of the daytime in an adjustable reclining chair in my living room. I move to my kitchen/dining room for meals with the support of a trolley. My carers change my nappy up to three times a day. I do the food preparation and cooking myself since my carers overcook everything! They are not happy to be excluded. Their skills as nappy changers (I have become incontinent) are good. To me, they are friends!

Overall Experience
Although some of the carers are good at building a rapport with myself (client), others aren't and do not attempt much communication. Agreed tasks are usually done, but there are still times when these aren't done to a satisfactory level (wet washing left on a dry bed).

Points are raised regularly with management and noted down, but this rarely trickles down to carers, so issues don't/take a while to get rectified.

I am happy with the service provided by the care team. They are quick to notice if there is a need for extra vigilance and will try to rectify any problems occurring.

We are supposed to have two carers, but sometimes that does not always happen. But this is due to travel issues, which is no fault of the carers.

Service is satisfactory and reliable. Carers are cheerful, friendly and competent. New carers are introduced to the family prior to becoming regular carers. The management check either by telephone or visit personally to check that the service is satisfactory.
