I am truly happy with their service. I've witnessed firsthand how well they take care of my dad, and it makes me proud to see the dedication in their work. Even when I'm away, they continue to carry out their duties diligently. My dad consistently gives me positive feedback, which gives me peace of
mind knowing he's in good hands.

We couldn't be more grateful for the kindness, compassion, and professionalism shown by the entire team at SGM Care Agency. From the moment we walked in, we felt a genuine sense of warmth and care. The staff treat each resident with dignity and respect, and it's clear they truly care about their well-being.
Our father is not just well looked after-he is loved, and that means everything to us. Thank you for creating such a safe and comforting home.

What a wonderful service that my friend received from this company. I was able to witness the care, kindness and understanding given by the carers many times when I would visit my friend.
The carers were very organised and communicated with my friend and I very well and most of all they listened to
what my friend needed and fulfilled it. I would highly recommend SGM Care, as they looked after my friend very well.

We had an excellent experience with the care our brother received. The staff was kind, attentive, and professional throughout my visit, including any members of the family. The carers took the time to listen to our concerns and explained everything clearly. Our brother felt well taken care of and truly

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We were really happy with the care mum got from SGM. Mum was treated with kindness and dignity by her carers who became like friends to her. We couldn't have managed without them as mum's dementia progressed. I was especially grateful for the responsiveness and flexibility shown by SGM as mum's needs
changed and also on several occasions when at short notice, SGM were able to provide an overnight carer for mum when she wasn't safe to be on her own. The support we were given was invaluable and made both our lives easier. Mum is now moving into a care home and sadly won't be using SGM any longer. A huge thank you to the team for all you've done for mum.

Although my mum did not understand the relevance of this meeting, I realise the importance of collecting the information. Anything that can help in the care of my dad is appreciated. The main area of concern is late morning or late night calls but, hopefully, this can be resolved now we have discussed
it.
Reply from Uche Ijeh, Manager at SGM Care Agency Ltd

Thanks for the honest feedback.
The issue with late morning calls has been resolved after the meeting. The timings are now tailored to your mum and dad specified times.

Review from Brenda P (Daughter of Client) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I needed an agency carer who was able to support my mum, who has Dementia, the following day. I had called two agencies before and was put off by the price but also the lack of interest as to what my mum's needs were. What first struck me when I contacted SGM was their professionalism, along with their
compassion for my predicament and the willingness to want to know what my mum's needs were. I have to add that their price was the cheaper than the other two agencies. I was sceptical at first, only because they are a fairly new company, but that was soon dismissed. Mum required two carers, whom I can not fault; they are amazing with my mum and are still providing support. I can't thank the carers and the office staff enough for their support and compassion.

Overall, the carers are very pleasant, however, they often arrive late in the morning to get Mum out of bed. Mum is very hard of hearing and has difficulty having a conversation with the carers.

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear about the lateness, we will surely look into this and ensure things improve as a matter of urgency.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.949 for SGM Care Agency Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.949
