After having a bilateral hip replacement, a friend recommended. I had some care for a few weeks to aid my recovery... finding 1st Homecare online, my daughter called them and arranged a prompt visit the day after I came home. A package was set up immediately for my requirements. I used their service for three weeks. The carer always arrived on time being kind, caring - helping me to shower and dress in the morning. I highly recommend them!
Many thanks for your very positive review. We are delighted that you have recovered so well that you no longer need our support!
I receive excellent service from my individual carers and also on any occasion I have needed the office.

I have found the staff at 1st Homecare to be very professional, very thorough, and extremely caring. After 8 weeks in hospital and a care home, I required care twice a day for my 88-year-old mother to enable her to return home after testing positive for covid. 1st Homecare have provided an excellent service and I am happy in the knowledge that mum is being well looked after and is safe back in the environment she recognises.
I have the expert carers early for weekly local shopping. (one hour) and lately for house cleaning. I am satisfied with the service and all the carers are very pleasant and efficient.

Carers are very friendly and helpful. They use their time efficiently, but do not hurry Mum. I've witnessed them asking Mum what she would prefer for her lunch/dinner. They always leave her with a cold drink. Mum says that they always have a little chat with her and she looks forward to them coming.

I'm so pleased Mum is enjoying the company of the ladies who visit her and has settled so well. Many thanks for taking the time to review our services and giving such positive feedback.
We are very pleased with every element of support from our regular carer and from her employees. Recognition of our own way of life has been and is acknowledged and we greatly appreciate that factor.

Carers that attend to Dad are always on time, extremely friendly, always happy. They understand Dad's care needs as he is bedbound with dementia. Feel we all work well as a team. The office staff are great if we have any issues or we aren't sure about something it's sorted asap. Always polite manner but also very cheerful and hard working. When I am not with Dad I am very happy knowing he is in good hands. Keep up the good work in these trying times.
Excellent.

I have really enjoyed the carers coming in to sit with me and have a chat. My wife goes out for an hour which gives her a break and that makes me happy.

1st Homecare provided home care support to my elderly dad in his supported housing complex. They were pro-active in putting together his package of support, were always very prompt in responding to queries, provided consistent carers who really got to know Dad. They really did go the extra mile to help Dad. We could not have asked for more.
Thank you so much for such a very positive review - I will pass on your kind words to Dad's carers. On behalf of all at 1st Homecare, please pass on our good wishes to him and our hopes that he is settling well in his new home.
Generally, the firm is good.

Please don't hesitate to ring if you need to 'fine tune' any aspect of your care.
I do not know how I could have coped without them over the past 3 years or more. They were all so lovely they almost became part of the family. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to review our care and thank you for your kind words. We were all so very sad to lose your husband and our thoughts are very much with you and your family at this time. With all best wishes for the future
My experience to date is that I am extremely likely to recommend '1st Homecare'.

I understand you had support with housework for a few weeks following an operation.I am pleased by the positive comments you have made but have to confess to being a little disappointed by the scores you gave us.
However, I have looked at the Quality Review you completed at the end of our involvement and am reassured to see you felt all our staff treated you with dignity and respect and that you were happy with our service and would have continued with us if your financial situation had been different.
Should things change for you in the future and you still need some support please don't hesitate to ring us again - we would be delighted to hear from you!
