Over all time Calida Care has 46 reviews.
Nothing seems too much and the carers are all very friendly and considerate.
My daughter is constantly in touch with the management team which enables them to deliver the best service. I have recently started using their emergency response service which has been invaluable as I tend to fall quite often. In particular, the care manager has been an absolute gem coming out to me in the early hours. I wouldn't want to use any other care company.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review for us. We are all so delighted to hear of your positive experience and look forward to continuing to provide an excellent service for you and your wife in the future.
After much concern for my father and with the assistance of the agency, Dad was convinced of the need for help. We had concerns based on the experiences of friends who'd used care agencies themselves. Without any reservations and with much relief, Calida's involvement has proved hugely beneficial to my father. Every one of the carers engages beautifully with him whilst remaining professional and respectful. The improvement in my father is beyond words and I cannot recommend Calida highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to be contributing to the improvement in your father's health & wellbeing. It is a pleasure caring for your father and our team will be so proud to receive such wonderful feedback.
The care workers from your company are of a very high quality. They are adaptable knowledge and good cooks. Willing to make a meal, clear the rubbish, tidy clothes, making a drink etc. Usually on time and reliable, in fact, first-class ladies.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's an absolute pleasure to support you and your wife.
I approached Calida Care after picking up a pamphlet on the reception desk at a care home establishment. Carers always attended at the agreed time to shower my husband, always left the room tidy and towels folded. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. It was a pleasure to support your husband and we wish you both all the very best for the future.
This past 18 months, the care has been wonderful from Calida, every single carer has been and are always very professional, prompt and great with Mum, engaging with her in different ways, ie singing, chatting, having a giggle, and understanding her needs, and work well with Mum's live-in carer, we are all so much more relaxed and we know Mum is too! And we know we are always supported by the friendly office staff whenever we speak with them. We hope they will continue to provide care for Mum as long as she needs them.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is an absolute pleasure caring for your mum and we feel so fortunate to work alongside such a wonderful family! On behalf of the whole team, we thank you for recognising how much of a difference we can make to people's lives.
Provided short term personal care at short notice after my husband returned home from hospital after an emergency hip replacement after an accident. Carers arrived when expected and were professional and helpful.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to support your husband during his recovery.
We have only started a few weeks ago, and we are so pleased with them. They go above and beyond the call of duty. All the time, nothing is too much trouble. At times, all I want to do is talk, and the level is very high.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. Our team is always happy to help, and we are delighted that you are so pleased with the service.
Always happy to help, friendly and chatty, we couldn't do without you people.
Thank you for your review; our carers really enjoy their interaction with others and what they do and it is a pleasure to help.
I am so pleased with all the carers who look after me. They treat me with respect and dignity. They are always helpful and attend to my personal care and all my requests.
We are delighted that you are happy with our carers and that you find them helpful and respectful. Thank you for sharing your experience of our service.
We have received wonderful service. Helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
Our team take great pleasure in going the extra mile and it is lovely to see this reflected in your kind review. Thank you.
The staff and carers are brilliant, always happy and will help you as much as they can. I really enjoy it when it's the days they visit me. What a wonderful team of ladies and the boss as well.
Our team thrives on the relationships they build and it is very uplifting to know the positive difference this makes to your day. It is a pleasure to be of support to you and thank you for sharing your feedback.
The ladies who came and sat with my mother while I took a break were very kind and helpful. I am very grateful for the service provided which means I do not have to worry about leaving my mother on her own.
We are pleased the service was helpful, thank you for your review.
He has dementia and, having suffered a stroke, is now unable to walk, speak or read and is fed via a PEG as his swallow is poor.
His care is complicated; medicine is time sensitive and he must be sitting up for 1 hour either side of a feed, so it’s essential that his care is reliable regarding the timing of the many calls he has daily.
In spite of all his disabilities, the carers find a way to communicate and engage with him, their patience and kindness being rewarded with one of his lovely smiles and sometimes a wink and that means so much to me. We really couldn’t manage without them and it’s a delight to have them in our home.
It is wonderful to read such positive feedback; to know we are making a positive difference is so rewarding for the team. We will always go the extra mile to help and are so pleased with how happy you are. Thank you for sharing this lovely review.
We have been with Calida Care for a number of years for our mother and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Our full time carer is the kindest, most patient, caring and wonderful human being. She has taken the time to develop a close and caring relationship with our mother and is responsive to all her needs. When she goes on break, Calida takes care to find someone equally kind and capable. The management at Calida is extremely experienced and professional and we highly recommend. As I live abroad, it is a huge relief to know my mother is in the most capable hands.
Our team (carers and office) work really hard to go above and beyond and it is lovely to know the care makes such a difference, not only to your mother but to you as a family member living abroad. It is so rewarding to have such positive feedback, thank you.
From the outset, the head of care and her team at Calida have been truly amazing! The carers provided were second to none, so respectful of my mother’s wishes and gave her a quality of life not many of her age would ever receive! She was 101 at her death earlier this year! If there was ever a problem, the head of care had it sorted in no time. I can’t thank Calida enough for making my mother’s final years such happy ones in the house she lived in and loved for 95 of her 101 years!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Caring for your mum was an absolute privilege and it means so much to the team that we were able to support her to remain living in the home she loved with the quality of life she deserved.
We have had a fantastic experience with Calida Care. The quality of the carers they provide is excellent and the care manager is extremely knowledgeable and committed to providing an excellent service. Care is always taken to make sure everything is done as it should be and where there have been issues, these have been dealt with quickly and to our complete satisfaction.
Thank you for your positive review. It is as important to us that we can sort out any issues as it is to provide outstanding care and I am very pleased you have been satisfied with how we resolve things.
I have had carers for several months now and have been very impressed with their work. One carer helped with my husband who was very ill and passed away in 2022. I have a carer for myself now. She is totally reliable and helps me with personal care, household duties meals and shopping. Nothing is too much trouble and she is friendly towards visitors and family.
Your review is really appreciated, thank you and we look forward to continuing to be of support to you in the future.
Calida Care were always friendly, caring and professional. They took their time to get to know the client and their family. They kept the family informed of any concerns regarding the client and gave regular updates.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. We value the positive relationships we build with not only our clients but their family members too and it was a pleasure to provide the care for your family member.
Throughout our experience of Calida Care which has been for over a year, including carer visits and live-in care, the level of service provided has been excellent. All of the staff are friendly, approachable and pay attention to detail. There is always someone available to give advice or help, and communication is very good. I would not hesitate to recommend Calida Care.
Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation.
The care Mum received from Calida Care was faultless. The carers are amazing and the worked very hard to ensure they did the very best they could to make her comfortable and happy. Attention to detail was always adhered too.
Thank you for your review, it was an absolute pleasure to care for your mum.

Meet the Team (2)
I joined Calida Care in January 2022. I had been working alongside their team for a number of years in a consultancy role and decided I wanted to become a permanent fixture within this wonderful company. I began my social care career in in 1999 when I joined one of the first ever domiciliary care providers in the country. Having worked in a nursing home prior to this I was immediately converted to the benefits of caring for people in the comfort of their own homes. Calida Care fully brings to life the concept of 'there's no place like home' and I truly believe there is no better company to care for you or your loved ones in their own, familiar surroundings.
In my spare time, my 10 year old son, Sebastian keeps me busy. We enjoy Formula 1 Motor Racing, going to the theatre and walks with our Jack Russell/Chihuahua cross, which is a bundle of fun and mischief!
I have always been passionate about the delivery of high quality home based care services that recognise the individuality of each and every recipient of our care.
With my wife Jane, who's also a fellow director, in forming Calida Care we wanted to bring together some of the most accomplished senior staff in our field who shared our passion, values, high standards and expectations. We wanted to create and develop a care company that championed excellent care practices whilst respecting and celebrating the uniqueness of each of our customers.
We sincerely believe that we are achieving this whilst continuously striving to further improve.
Away from work our interests mostly revolve around our family and friends and in particular, our own children who's ages span some 28 years, ranging from just 5 to 33!
We also enjoy travelling.
