Easily the best care company we have dealt with. Excellent service all round. The carers are wonderful. Kind, hardworking, friendly, and a pleasure to have them helping us. Having these really good carers is better than being in a care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I first contacted SCHC a week before reconstructive surgery on my knee. I had spent days before looking for a company who could come out to my house and support me and care for me throughout my recovery. Being a younger client I found many other care providers that did not advertiser or promote that
they support younger clients (under 30) compared with elderly clients. The first thing I saw from the website is that they support younger clients like myself after major surgery. From when I filled in the enquiry form I had a call back within 2 minutes speaking to the manager who then arranged a house visit within a few days. It was great to have a my worries eased that I will get the support I need. I was very nervous knowing that I would not be able to walk to the bathroom or care for myself. Throughout I had wellbeing calls to check up on how I was doing as well as the company being so flexible in my care needs as I recovered. I couldn't fault the experience as a younger client.
Reply from Liam Tracey, Operations Director at South Coast Home Care

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're truly grateful you chose SCHC to support you through such an important and vulnerable time in your recovery. It means a great deal to us that you felt seen, heard, and cared for-not just as a client, but as a person.Supporting younger individuals after surgery is something we're deeply passionate about, and we're so pleased our approach resonated with you. It's wonderful to hear that our team was able to provide not only practical support but also peace of mind and reassurance during your recovery.Your kind words will be shared with the whole team-they'll be thrilled to know they made a difference. We wish you continued healing and strength, and if you ever need us again, we'll be right here.

South Coast became involved with my Mum approximately a year ago. We started with hourly care, moved to live in and then full 24 hour care for the final days.
I found the team very responsive and helpful as Mums needs changed, stepping up care levels with only a few hours notice. All carers friendly
and helpful.
Our experience with live in care was especially positive. I can only commend two staff members in particular for the love, dedication, creativity, knowledge and professionalism they showed.
I would recommend.

The whole team at South Coast Home Care have been kind, caring, compassionate, friendly, efficient, professional and responsive to our needs. They put care in place on the day we asked for their help and managed to continue to adapt the plan we had quickly to suit our family's fast changing needs.
The staff in the office went above and beyond to help - proactively liaising with other professionals involved in my mother's care and keeping us in the loop. The care they put in place was totally bespoke to our needs. The carers themselves were kind, gentle, calm and attentive. They made my mum feel safe and carried out their duties as she asked with her dignity and safety as a priority. We can't thank the whole team enough for all they've done to help to make a very difficult time for our family much easier and with such kindness too. We feel like they have wrapped with a blanket of care around the whole family - giving us peace of mind that our beloved mum is in the best possible hands.

Carers always friendly and professional. No job is too much trouble. Mum was in hospital for 7 weeks and some staff went to see her which made her feel valued. Always make sure I am kept in contact with times etc which takes stress away. Can't praise the company enough.

After my mum was taken on by South Coast Home Care she has got stronger in her arm strength as she has not much strength in her legs due to nerve problem in her back.
South Coast Home Care has been a lifeline for my mum and her partner who is 97 this year, and a great help for myself and sisters.
Thank
you everyone at South Coast Home Care.

Review from Scott M (Son of Client) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had a bad fall and I contacted Southcoast Homecare after being told about them by a friend. I met with the owner and was hugely impressed and told about a Contingency Plan they do, which involves a full assessment and visit once a week from a carer to form a relationship and check my mum is doing
ok. It's been a wonderful thing to do. They are caring, and helpful and take the pressure off my mother in various ways. Also, now that we are registered under this plan, when or if the actual time that mum needs full-time support or periodic at-home help, there will be no delay or assessment, etc and they know her needs and meds, etc. I know from experience that when an emergency occurs, the process of being assessed can be very frustrating and delay you getting help. I am thrilled with the service.

The staff at South Coast have always paid great attention to detail in providing such good care towards my wife. They also on every visit engage with my wife, which I know that she enjoys greatly. I appreciate that the job on occasions can be demanding however the staff who attend to my wife just use
their skill set and knowledge as trained. And provide such a professional service.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback, we will also ensure this is passed to the whole team who care for her. It's a delight caring for your wife.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Providing staff who care for the elderly and vulnerable can never be easy. It is well known that there are staff shortages nationally. Initially, the staff provided to take care of my aunt was not consistent and was not appropriate but that was two years ago and now there seems to be a consistent rota
of excellent staff which helps enormously. My cousins and I, her only relatives, live some distance from my aunt. Having live-in staff has been the right answer for the care of my aunt; it is the best for her and for us.
Reply from Liam Tracey, Operations Director at South Coast Home Care

Thank you so much for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that the current consistent rota of staff has been a positive change for your aunt's care, especially with you and your family living at a distance. We understand how important it is to have reliable, dedicated care in place, and we're glad that the live-in arrangement is providing peace of mind for both her and your family.

I have nothing but high praise for South Coast Home Care (SCHC) from day 1 they have been super responsive in requests for emergency care and during subsequent changes to care requirements- this includes decreasing the amount of care as well as increasing care needs.
SCHC has always been approachable
to discuss any issues that arise.
Without the support of SCHC, I do not believe my parents would have been able to remain in their own home and together, which was their dearest wish.

My daughter has cerebral palsy and now she is older, caring for her personal needs has become difficult for me. As an older mother, my health has begun to suffer. I welcomed South Coast Home Care with open arms. The carers who came every day were caring, considerate, polite, courteous and extremely
kind and patient. They took care of all my daughter's hygiene needs. My daughter was treated with dignity and respect. I cannot fault the service we received.

We have found the ongoing care given to our father to be of a very high standard, the carers genuinely seem to care about him and nothing is too much trouble. We are informed promptly of any issues, it is very reassuring to have peace of mind after nearly a year of very bad care from previous care
companies.

We have been very happy with the care given to my father by South Coast Homecare, they endeavour to keep the staff going to him consistent, which he finds less unsettling. He gets on very well with most of the staff, especially the male member who my father will only allow to help with washing and
dressing.

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for South Coast Home Care is based on 17 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
