Review from Gerry M (Son-in-law of Client) published on 16 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seasoned Hands Care looked after my mother-in-law for a year when she needed intensive support at home (two carers four times a day). We were very pleased with the care they provided and with the good relationships the girls built up with her over that time. In the whole time they looked after her,
we were never let down, and we had a very proactive relationship with the leadership team. I would not hesitate to recommend this team to others looking for friendly, professional and reliable care for their relatives.
Reply from Festus Ojez, Manager at Seasoned Hands CareThanks, Garry, for your kind words. Our team owe you and your family a great depth of gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the story of your mother-in-law. We say you and your family were exceptionally very supportive of all we did, your support made it possible. Many thanks to all of you and all the best in all your future endeavours.

Seasoned Hands Care have looked after our mum since May 2021 following her discharge from the hospital, and they have always been reliable, professional and very compassionate and caring for Mum, giving us all great peace of mind. We have an excellent working relationship with the team of carers, and
it is really helpful having the app and regular contact for everyone to keep informed and to enable any adjustments to be made in a timely manner. Mum has greatly benefitted from their care, and we would be very happy to recommend Seasoned Hands Care to others. Thank you for the fantastic work you do at Seasoned Hands Care and the help given to our mum and our family to increase the quality of all of our lives.
Reply from Festus Ojez, Manager at Seasoned Hands CareWe appreciate your kind word and are delighted to hear that you are happy with the effort we put in to support your mum.

My son has been receiving support from Seasoned Hands for just over four years. Both he and I are very satisfied with the care and assistance he receives. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Review from Keith H (Son of Client) published on 21 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seasoned Hands reacted really well and quickly to our call for help when my mother took ill. I live 350miles away from my mother, so knowing she is in good hands is essential. I use their app, which gives me visibility twice a day into my mother's condition and what the carers are doing for her.


We

have been using Seasoned Hands for about a month now, and they have always been professional and reliable, and as such, I would definitely recommend them. More importantly, my mother has benefitted greatly from their support and enjoys her daily interactions.
Reply from Festus Ojez, Manager at Seasoned Hands CareMany thanks for your kind response. We are privileged to be able to support your mum.

Review from Norma C (Daughter of Client) published on 6 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is ninety-nine years young and is reliant on her two carers, four times daily. The carers are all very nice, very caring and they treat mum with the greatest respect and comply with all requests from both mum and myself, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend them highly to anyone
who needs care. The management is also extremely caring and helpful. I can't praise them all enough.
Reply from Festus Ojez, MANAGER at Seasoned Hands CareMany thanks, Norma, for your kind words; we cannot thank you enough for all your support for our team.

Review from Norma B (Daughter of Client) published on 16 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother required in-home care for some time before her circumstances changed. Seasoned Hands provided that care three times per week, allowing mum to safely stay at home. She was very happy with her carers and looked forward to their company, as well as the care they gave her. I cannot fault their
attention to care and duty.
Reply from Festus Ojez, Manager at Seasoned Hands CareMany thanks, Norma, we wish mum all the best in her new home.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.857 for Seasoned Hands Care is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.857

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Seasoned Hands Care is based on 6 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 4.55
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
