Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very grateful for the care given to my mum by Marias Homecare Companions, and by the professionalism and empathy shown by the carers and by the manager. The office staff were also very helpful when we had questions or needed to change aspects of her care. The carers and the manager went above
and beyond to ensure that my mum had the right support, especially when she became very unwell, and they helped me to deal with the various issues that arose as her care needs changed. They were proactive in letting me know if my mum was ill, or if there were other concerns, and gave me helpful suggestions that improved my mum's care. They also liaised with the doctors to make appointments if needed. The carers were always on time and took the time to talk to my mum as well as helping her, which brightened up her day, and she looked forward to their visits. Thanks to you all.

Our initial carer was excellent, both at providing companionship and helping with domestic chores.
Our current carer, though pleasant enough, does not do such a thorough job of cleaning and tends to leave well before the two hours we are contracted for.
Reply from Maria Davey, Manager at Maria's Homecare Companions

Thank you for taking the time for your review, which we always take seriouslyWe are pleased you have always been happy with the service for the past couple of years and I am sure you must be saddened that your regular cleaner has now moved to CanadaI apologise that you have not been satisfied with the replacement cleaner, who you did personally request for your cleaning, for sometime. I shall ensure that this is investigated thoroughly and offer retraining where neededThank you again for bringing this to my attention, so we can improve our service and maintain our high standard reputation and expectations

Review from Graham S (Husband of Client) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family we recently had an unfortunate start to getting what we wanted in terms help from care providers. We learned a lot in the process.
Fortunately this experience enabled us to become wiser and to be more selective and focused in moving forward in our quest for help.
The search eventually
lead us to find Marias Homecare Providers which looked as if they might be able to improve the image and services we had to date. i.e. straight forward, helpful and understanding without fuss.
The result has been that our experience of 'helpful' has been completely reversed. We now have an excellent professional working relationship with both the back office support and the regularly visiting companion.
This is good for the family as a whole because it helps us manage our domestic scene in many ways.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to be able to supply your wife with a regular carer, it is wonderful to see the friendship between them develop. Sarah looks forward to the visits and the regular days out of various places, thus promoting well being and independence.

The carers from Maria's take very good care of my 93 year old mother. They treat her with kindness and respect. Mum has needed 4 calls a day since last September. You hear some horror stories on the news, so it's been a relief that my mum hasn't had any problems.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been with Marias homecare Companions since August 2020, and in that time we have been very happy with the service they have supplied us with.
The office staff are always on hand when we need them. They are very professional and when the care plan needs changing, as it has a few times since
mum has been bed bound, they are very quick to update Mum's care plan.
The carers arrive on time, always professional and very caring towards my Mum. If they have any concerns at all they will let me know and contact the office to advise them also.
There have been times when the office have called upon the district nurses to attend urgently, and other authorities, when required.
They take the caring role very seriously, which allows me to feel comforted that Mums health and welfare is of utmost importance to them as a caring company. .

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum gets great support and is so happy with her two main carers who have established a great relationship with her. It's not always easy for the carers but they are patient and really understanding and clearly want the best for her. It is very important for mum to continue to live independently
for as long as she can and this has presented some challenges over the last year or so as her needs and frailty increase. The carers and the agency have worked really hard to meet her changing needs and give her the continuity she wants.
Reply from Maria Davey, Manager at Maria's Homecare Companions

We have been so pleased that your mothers two carers have worked so well together in order to deliver the care that your mother wants and needs, compassionately. Promoting independence has been paramount and the communication between us all has worked effectively with the recent changes. Thank you for choosing us

We needed a live in carer at very short notice and Maria's was able to help with a lovely person, and manage the move in and handover quickly and efficiently!
Great service and friendly people, we are confident mum will be correctly cared for .
Reply from Maria Davey, Manager at Maria's Homecare Companions

The transition to live in care will make a significant difference to her life. The one to one care 24/7 is the best support anyone could have and all in the comfort of her own home with her gorgeous Dog. We know this will be the best solution for rehabilitation and I'm so pleased we were able to put it in place so quickly. Thank you for your review.

One of the staff members have been my mother's carer since November 2024 and she is absolutely outstanding. She gives the best care for my Mum and goes above and beyond with what she does, She is caring, kind and she has a great sense of humour which mum appreciates.
I cannot say enough good things
and I hope she never leaves!
Reply from Maria Davey, Manager at Maria's Homecare Companions

Hi, It has been an absolute pleasure supporting your mum for the past 2 years. The improvements in her mobility and mental health have significantly improved since having the transition to live in care. The continuity of the same carer each day allows a wonderful bond of trust and friendship. We enjoy seeing the pictures of them out and about. Thank you and I am so pleased she is happy with her outstanding carer.

Great ongoing support from a caring, articulate and well-organised team, which efficiently flexes to fit our evolving needs. This has allowed Mum to remain living independently in her own home, whilst providing much greater peace of mind for my siblings and I.

I am so grateful to my daily carer who comes twice a day. She is caring, capable, helpful, knowledgeable and a friend to me too! She helps with everything from washing bedding. shopping, trips out, cooking and keeping me independent. I feel safe when she arrives and having a regular face is so comforting.

I have found all the carers totally competent with all the qualities desirable in a person caring for another. But a proportion of them go way beyond this. I find this usually transfers to how prepared they are to talk and share interests with clients, to share conversations about hobbies and interests.
I have had long-term involvement and engagement with carers interested in music, singing and playing instruments sharing my singing and guitar playing and enjoying the cooperation and pleasure it brings.
