It was in early June 2026 that I became a client of 1st Homecare following a fall in the bath where I remained for over an hour before my son came to help. I now have a weekly bath by a very efficient, friendly and supportive carer who afterwards puts my support stockings on. I certainly give 100%...

I became a client of 1st Homecare in July 2026 after I was discharged from hospotal and my 28 day care had expired. Every week I have a carer to help me to shower who is always extremely efficient, friendly ad supportive. I feel confident when she is with me. Once a fortnight I have a home help come in to our ground floor flat to do light household duties. She is always happy, chatty and efficient in all the tasks I ask her to do within the 2 hours. Very efficient company and happy to stay with them as long as necessary.

We honestly cannot thank First Home Care enough for the support they are providing for our grandmother.
From the moment she came home, the team have been absolutely incredible. They treat her with such kindness, dignity and respect, and it's clear they genuinely care about her comfort and wellbeing. Nothing ever feels rushed, and they always take the time to make sure she is settled and comfortable.
As a family, it means everything to us to have her at home, surrounded by familiar things, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and compassionate hands. The communication has been excellent, and every member of staff we've met has been warm, professional and supportive.
This is a difficult time for us, but First Home Care have made it so much easier. We are truly grateful for everything they are doing.
Thank you for this review and your very kind words, I am so pleased that as a famly you have "complete peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and compassionate hands" . I will make sure all her team are aware of this review, your kind words and thank you for taking the time to write it. We all really do appreciate it.

Whilst I was not involved directly in the decision to use 1st Homecare I have to say that having now met the carer and seen first hand how she looks after my Mother in Law I am very happy with the decision to use them, especially based on the standard of care provided. Normally a fiercely independent woman I had expected she would find the presence of new people in her home a challenge but almost immediately those concerns vanished as the carers are so good with her she seems to genuinely enjoy their company and its as if they are now old friends visiting rather than carers.
Thank you for this review and your kind words. I am very pleased that your mother-in-law is enjoying the compay and I appreciate your comments on the standard of care provided. We work hard to make sure our presence is a positive one for all our clients.
We've been extremely happy with the care provided by 1st Home Care Kings Langley for my mum. The carers are genuinely kind, patient and attentive, and they always make sure her needs are well looked after. They keep on top of any changes and communicate well, which gives our family real peace of...
After some difficult experiences with previous agencies, it has been such a relief to finally find a team we can truly trust. Their consistency, compassion and professionalism have made a huge difference to my mum's wellbeing. We're very grateful to have found such a reliable and caring support for her
Thank you for this review, I am really pleased to read this and that you feel you truly trust us to look after mum. It does make our job a whole lot easier having a supportive family on board.
I have dealt with 1stDirect and it's predecessor, Ainsworth for more than 20 years. I have never been let down by them. Several of the carers have become long-term family friends going back 20 years

So pleased with how mum has been looked after since contacting first home care for support. From the initial contact everything has been smooth and reassurance given. I was with mum when a carer arrived one morning and just listening to them both chatting and the required support given was actually a pure relief that I could trust the team chosen for mum.
Thank you so much for this review, I am so pleased we have been able to support you all at this time, lovely to hear such a positive start for mum and for you as a family.

1st Homecare have been caring for my 92-year-old mother for several months. Having been disappointed with the care provided by other agencies, I was relieved and delighted to have found 1st Homecare. The company is outstanding in its professionalism and efficiency, and all their carers are experienced, compassionate and sensitive to mum's needs as a sight-impaired dementia sufferer with limited mobility. Their health and safety practices are thorough and robust, and I feel confident that my mum is being well cared for. Mum's care plan is under constant review as her needs change and any requests from me are dealt with promptly. For me, seeing my mum relaxed and reassured when she is with the carers is the best measure of the care being given. 1st Homecare has given me peace of mind and I cannot praise them highly enough.
It was lovely to have met and include you on our dementia training day last week. We look forward to supporting you, mum and your sister for as long as you need us.
The office staff are really lovely too. Always willing to help with any queries.

It is so important and a relief to know that a carer will be coming in each day and to know that they are efficient, friendly and able to provide the help needed. I would not be able to cope without their help and they are always cheerful and ready to listen, asking how I am getting on and always asking if there is anything else that needs to be done before they leave.

Thank you for this review I know you had a lovely relationship with our carer and she is ready to support you again anytime you need.
Having a carer for dad allows me to have time out. The service provided by carer and office staff is excellent. I couldn't cope without them.

As a new user of 1st Homecare, my experience has been excellent, they have been very proactive at highlighting any issues that may arise with my Mum's care. They are very efficient and a pleasure to work with and most importantly Mum is very happy.

Dad has remained capable and independent, living on his own into his nineties, but has recently reluctantly agreed to start receiving some initial care support at home as he has become more frail and is finding things a lot harder. The office staff and carers from 1st Homecare Kings Langley have all been very helpful, supportive, and understanding of his situation, his developing needs, and his continuing independent personality and character, and are working hard to gain his trust and confidence.
