My Dad, who has memory issues and is physically frail, has been of concern to us for some time as he was refusing to eat anything other than sweet stuff and had been refusing hot meals. After the first visit, he hasn’t looked back - eating a main meal and a pudding. I can’t thank the carers enough for
what they are doing. He is even asking for vegetables. From the very first contact, Unique care have been efficient, caring and professional. It is a great relief to know that he is being so well looked after by the whole team. Thank you from both of us.

This has certainly been the case with your Dad. Thank you once again.

I would thoroughly recommend this company the same way they came highly recommended to me. Management are always contactable and match great, quality carers with Mom. They are all calming and knowledgeable, especially with dementia. Also, they were amazingly helpful and respectful during a recent 111
emergency call. Well done Unique, a massive thank you.

My wife has Alzheimer’s and since March 2021, we engaged Unique Senior Care to provide support at home. One member of staff, in particular, was recommended to us as the preferred carer and she has been in place right up until my wife had to go into hospital recently. As far as I’m concerned, she has
been a credit to both her company and the caring profession. Never late, trustworthy, honest and also providing a tremendous friendship to both my wife and myself, regularly going the extra mile. Thanks for all your help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has lived in the same house for 60 years. Her mobility has become increasingly impaired but thanks to the team at Unique, she has been able to continue living independently and I can't emphasise how important that has been for her. Unique's carers have shown kindness, consideration and respect
at all times. They are also completely trustworthy. They assessed her care needs carefully and are prepared to make adjustments if they change. After a spell in hospital, they were ready and waiting to resume her enhanced care. Unique makes sure any new carer is introduced to my mum before they start and although she has favourites they are all highly motivated to provide the best possible service. The care manager liaises closely with me and shares any concerns and offers advice. I have been very impressed and at times, extremely touched by their dedication to their job, particularly in these difficult times.

Also, your comment about the kindness and considerations shown is genuinely heartening for our team. Thank you once again.

Unfortunately, my husband's dementia has progressed and he has now gone into residential care. However, Unique made it possible for me to cope until August 2021. All our carers were fantastic and even though they needed to do some very personal things for him, he adored them all and saw them as friends.
As for me, I know I couldn't have managed without them. The support they gave me was wonderful.
Reply from Philip Maundrill, Director at Unique Senior Care Solihull

Thank you for writing in with such a positive review. We are delighted to read that we were able to provide the service and allow your husband to remain at home for as long as possible. I know that the team all really enjoyed providing the service to your satisfaction and it was a pleasure for us to be helping you both through this time. Your comment about them becoming your friends is also very rewarding and it is reflective of what we set out to do for all of our clients. Thank you once again.

Review from N B (Son of Client) published on 14 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 85-year-old parents had been living independently, although my father had mobility problems. When my mother broke her wrist, we were in need of help. A neighbour recommended Unique who immediately sent a manager round and a programme was drawn up and implemented immediately. We have had carers for
two months now and they have been exceptional. Always punctual, friendly, patient and efficient. The policy of only sending two carers helped my parents, reducing anxiety. As my mother has improved, we have been able to scale back but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use Unique for any future requirements which may arise.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had sleep-in care for three nights following my wife's stay in hospital. The young lady who provided the care was absolutely excellent. Before I contacted Unique Senior Care, we were not aware of the excellent range of pick and mix support the company provides. Being in our late 70s and determined
to stay in our own house for as long as possible, I'm sure we will be calling on their services again in the future.
Reply from Philip Maundrill, Director at Unique Senior Care Solihull

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review for us, it's very much appreciated. I know that we arranged this overnight support at short notice for you and your wife. It is really great for us to hear that you have said that the service was absolutely excellent. We always do our best to be responsive and flexible to our client's requests. It would be a delight for us to help out at some stage in the future, should the need arise. Thank you once again.

We very highly recommend this company. We couldn't be happier with the service provided - from initial contact to, most importantly, the care provided. All the carers who have helped my mother have been excellent. It would honestly be difficult to fault them. Unique have been careful to ensure that
where possible, and allowing for days off, my mother has the same carer every day, which is very reassuring for her. My mother now regards this very kind carer as a trusted and reliable friend, in fact she says she 'deserves an MBE'.

Thank you for taking the time to write in with such a positive 5-star review. We are delighted to receive such amazing feedback on the service which we are providing to your mother. We know that it is so reassuring for you to have such a reliable and trustworthy service and the fact that it is working so well provides us with continuing confidence that we are making a difference in her daily life. This is the kind of feedback that other potential clients would love to read. Thank you once again.

I cannot recommend the carers from Unique Senior Care who visit my dad highly enough. They all have such a lovely positive attitude and not only cover his everyday needs like cooking, shopping, cleaning and personal care but always find different ways to brighten up his day. He now has tomato plants
growing on his balcony. Also when he has become unwell they have responded quickly and sought help appropriately when needed. They have even connected him to Zoom meetings with us so we can all see one another’s faces as visits have been difficult during the pandemic.

Thank you for sending in such wonderful feedback. This paints the perfect picture of what we do and it is heart-warming to read the details you have written about your Dad.

The home help that has been provided has been great and has been flexible enough to change the amount of cover needed when Mum needs. The help has been organised well so that they do shopping, taking Mum to doctors appointments. I would recommend this company to anyone.

I would highly recommend Unique Senior Care. They offer a very professional care service for my mother of 94 years of age, but also at the same time offer a personal service. The manager and staff of the Knowle Office always take my mother's needs into account and go above and beyond to adhere to her
care needs. Each carer has their individual care strengths and gives a personal touch to my mother. My mother suffered from covid through January and with their care, she was able to stay at home and not have to be admitted into hospital.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.907 for Unique Senior Care Solihull is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 183 Ratings = 4.907

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Unique Senior Care Solihull is based on 31 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
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
