Review from D H (Sister of Client) published on 17 March 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Over a two year period the staff at Caring Folk gained my sister's trust and she enjoyed their visits. Previously she was not used to contact with anybody other than family. They advised us how to deal with various incidents that arise and pointed us in the right direction to get help. Any problems found on their arrival were reported to us the same day. We felt my sister was being given all the attention needed.

The very least I can do is leave a 5 star review for this amazing care company.
Management and their team of fabulous naturally compassionate and caring ladies cared for my mum like she was their mum. Treated with respect and dignity always and gave her constant reassurance and much-needed humour at times and always a happy cheery up face for mums
down days made such a difference to her day. These amazing ladies became an extended part of

our family in our hour of need. Punctual reliable and well organised company always contactable. Much love and gratitude to them all.

Overall Experience

At stressful times when a loved one is terminal, it's a great relief to have someone who is so beautiful, kind, caring come into your home. My husband looked forward to the girls coming. The care they gave him was wonderful. It's strange having people come in to do something you've always done, but they never made me feel as if I was in the way. We both loved the girls, and the love they showed certainly came from the heart. Thank you so much.

After a very poor experience with a previous care provider, the Caring Folk team were a great relief. All care was given with kindness, humour and support for both of us until he died on the 7th January 2022.

I would to thank Caring Folk for all the help they provided. The staff who came to my house were excellent. I was in quite a dark mood, and I needed help at home. Right up to the day my wife has to go into care, my helper was with me. Thanking you again, your firm was a Godsend.

Overall Experience

Caring Folk provided home visits four times per day for my late father. After one fall too many my father agreed to his home being converted into a care home and, after reading good reviews, we employed Caring Folk to provide his home care. From when they started right up to my father's passing, they provided fantastic care and are very approachable and easy to get on with. He got on very well with the carers that visited him once they had adapted to his strange little whims. I really can't fault the level of care this company provided us with.

Overall Experience
I was very happy with the care given to my mum at such hard times, all staff were kind, caring, and helpful. I found the care given was at such a high standard that sometimes I looked at them as the best care rather than a doctor or nurse, not only for my mum but for support for me as I was caring for her at end of life.
Two members of staff attended her funeral and that meant the world to me as it was a very sad time.

Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience
The team at Caring Folk have provided an excellent, flexible and reliable caring service for both my parents over the last few years.
We lost my father who had acute vascular dementia last August. The loving and dignified care provided by the team leader and the team was outstanding, particularly given the complex nature of his needs. They went the extra mile when it was needed most and it is that which makes the difference.
I was pleased that I could retain the services of the team to now look after my mother as they are vital in providing the support and care she needs.

So, a successful partnership and one I am very happy to recommend.

Overall Experience
The manager and her team have been caring for my father and stepmother over the last two years. The consistency and flexibility Caring Folk were able to give at different times to meet the needs of my parents was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and we could not have managed without their support. During Covid, they provided social interaction and friendly, familiar faces. They ensured that the staff were consistent and would always try to accommodate the individual preferences of my parents.

The manager has gone above and beyond to help my father to ensure he was safe, to support him as I live so far away from him. She was always very professional whilst caring and nothing was too much trouble. I will always be extremely grateful for the Caring Folk team.

Communication could be better between carers and management sometimes.
Overall, Mum seemed happy with the care she was given once she got used to it.

We had to change the care plan on a few occasions and management and carers were always very obliging.

Review from B D (Daughter of Client) published on 1 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The manager and her dedicated team could not have done more for my mum and stepfather over the two years they provided home care.
Nothing was too much trouble and the manager would often pop by just to make sure that everything was going well. At the end of the two years, there were four care visits a day.
If ever a carer was ill, the registered manager or her care team manager would step in to make sure there was no gap in the care schedule.
My mum was not the easiest client - she always saw reasons to criticize (even when there were not any) and the manager was so clever in dealing with her and earned enormous respect from Mum as a result.
Mum learnt in her last few months that it cost nothing to say thank you and at least then, not only the family but mum herself made sure the carers knew that we really appreciated their support.

I cannot say enough about how this company lives up to and beyond their name. Even after Mum and her husband had left the house, the manager would pop by and check on things.

Overall Experience
The manager and her team gave my parents an excellent service.
I had no idea how to even begin putting a care package together and was struggling with the whole situation.
The manager came and spoke to me to reference my parents' needs and my availability and capabilities and within a few days, we had everything covered.
All the carers were professional and motivated but also caring and considerate and very approachable and friendly.
Although our circumstances kept changing, the manager just dealt with it with no fuss or complaints.
I found Caring Folk to be a professional company and would recommend them to anybody in the awful situation of needing home care.

We can’t thank them enough for the service they provided for my mum and dad.

Overall Experience

Caring Folk have provided domiciliary care for almost a year up until his admission into full-time residential care. My dad lives with Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia and can fluctuate daily in his needs. Every carer that looked after my dad was very friendly and treated him with so much respect. He became attached to a couple of the carers who were able to stimulate him and get a reaction which isn't always easy. With the help of people at Caring Folk, we were able to keep my dad longer at home than expected, particularly after his sudden deterioration. I have recommended Caring Folk to a number of people both via work and personally and would like to thank them for all of their help over the last twelve to eighteen months.

Review from Annette T (Daughter of Client) published on 27 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Caring Folk team cared for my mum from April until she sadly passed in November.
There aren’t enough words to describe the amazing care they provided to Mum and myself. From day one the team built such a fantastic bond with her whilst providing the best care. My mum was always reluctant to have carers as she had been so independent, but she adapted so well and loved them all, she called them “her best friends” and that says so much. It gave me comfort knowing that she was looked after so well.
The management and carers became like family to me also and I will be forever grateful, nothing was too much trouble.

I would highly recommend Caring Folk.

Overall Experience
In December 2020 we needed extra help looking after Dad at his home following stays in hospital.
We could not have managed the last months without the support we received from Caring Folk.
Dad was very happy with the care he received.
Covid stopped a lot of social interaction, so family and carers were the main people Dad saw on a daily basis.
As previously mentioned, all Covid protocols were followed and Caring Folk was there to assist when Dad had further stays in hospital and care had to be in place for him to return home.
Sadly, Dad passed away last month.

As a family we just want to say a huge thank you to Caring Folk - we kept to Dad’s wishes and couldn't have done this without you.

Overall Experience

When I first needed to look for care for my mum I had no idea where to start as I live in Birmingham. However, from my first contact with Caring Folk, they were prompt and helpful in their response. They maintained phone contact with me whenever necessary and supported my mum in provision of suitable equipment. I met all the team that visited her and there was not one member of staff I would not have employed myself (I used to run a large district nursing team in the days when they provided a lot more personal care than they do now) and they were all kind, helpful, competent and cheerful. They followed Covid mitigation rules all the time. Without them, I think Mum would have had to leave her home and go into residential care much sooner than she did. I can’t thank them enough for all they did for her and I know, had she allowed them, they would have done more.

Caring Folk Ltd have helped our Mum stay in her home for the past 18 months.It was such a relief to have carers coming in night and morning, knowing Mum was safe and cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend Caring Folk to other people as we found them to be reliable, flexible and caring. Mum has now gone in a home but Caring Folk provided a vital service for us as family.

Caring Folk were recommended to me by a client of theirs. Mum was struggling with mobility and confusion and needed assistance in the mornings and evenings for dressing and getting ready for bed. The staff and carers are so really helpful and pleasant, they all make you feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and Mum enjoyed the conversation as well as the help that was provided.

Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to all of the team.

Excellent service, respectful, very caring and nothing was too much trouble for them to do or help. The morning of my mum's funeral some of the ladies who had cared for my mum and myself turned up to say goodbye to her and pay their respects. This I found very moving and a comfort. Thank you Caring Folk, you're amazing.
