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.

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. .

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your warm review. Our team really does enjoy visiting you and hearing you play.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.806 for Maria's Homecare Companions is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 67 Ratings = 4.806

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Maria's Homecare Companions is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
