Regular carer on holiday so had substitutes. Most substitutes I know and they were very adequate. Only reason for a poor recommendation is that this Kings Langley Agency has changed its field of operation in the last 9 years. It no longer covers Croxley Green although it did advertise in Croxley...
Regular carer on holiday so had substitutes. Most substitutes I know and they were very adequate. Only reason for a poor recommendation is that this Kings Langley Agency has changed its field of operation in the last 9 years. It no longer covers Croxley Green although it did advertise in Croxley Green when I signed up in 2010. It does it's best for long term clients but cannot cover weekends and evenings if required. I use 2 care agencies.
The office staff are also very helpful.

All my dealings with 1st Homecare have been very positive. My mother's carer is very nice and everything is reviewed once a month by a manager. I think this is excellent as it shows that the company cares about the service they provide.

Angels in disguise. Wonderful support. I can't tell you the relief to know the carers are going in three times a day.
