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.
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
It has been a pleasure to look after you and previously your lovely wife for all these years, I know how fond you are of your regular carers especially J
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.
The admin and management team have always been very efficient, helpful and extremely patient with our family and situation. Quick to respond to emails and phone calls, all carers who attend to my parents are very good at what they do. Very professional and caring. We're so glad they are a part of their daily care.
It has been a pleasure to look after your parents and to be able to help when you live so far away.
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.
Lovely to read this and we are very happy to have mum home and back with us, I am pleased she enjoys the carers visits and that they are always kind and helpful. Thank you for this review.
Lovely staff, office and care sector,all very professional and friendly, couldn't ask for better carers , who do all they can to accommodate all the different needs we as service users have. I am absolutely happy with the service the company provides and would recommend them 100% .
Thank you for this review I do appreciate your time in writing this.Over the years I know we have been able to support you with your changing needs and I am so pleased we have been able to support you for so long. Thank you for your 100% recommendation.
Always there to support, make suggestions, adaptable when necessary and quick to respond to additional needs. 1st Homecare have made a big difference to not only my mum's life, but also my dad's and the rest of the families life. Huge Thank you, we could not have got through the last 3 years without you.
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 have a lovely relationship with your regular carers and I am really pleased to hear that they support you so well.
From the initial meeting with 1st Homecare & Dad, we were immediately impressed with the detail, care & respect that was provided. Now the care package is in place, we are very happy and reassured that Dad is being well looked after. The carers are professional & compassionate, giving us peace of mind.
Thank you for this review, I am pleased that Dad has taken so well to his carers, its great to hear the carers are professional and compassionate and that the care we provide gives you all peace of mind that Dad is being looked after. We are delighted that Dad has settled back in to his home so easily.
Very pleased with the carer and the service from Homecare
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.
Thank you for this review. We are pleased we can continue to support you and dad with the recent increase to dad's care.
The Kings Langley 1st Homecare team have been superb support through a very challenging time. All of the carers have shown compassion and kindness when caring for my father which has been greatly appreciated.
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.
In the times I have been connected to 1st Homecare I have always received the best of care.
Thank you very much for your review, I am pleased to hear you feel you always receive the best of care.
The carer comes once a week. She is so easy to get on with and is very supportive.
Thank you for taking the time to fill in this review, I am pleased that you get on so well with your carer and that you feel supported by her.
Very good carers and management staff - great service.
Thank you for your review, we do appreciate it. I will pass your comments to the other members of the team here.
