Over all time Unique Senior Care has 79 reviews.
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.
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...
The girls are professional and friendly. All needs are met and the girls go above and beyond their daily duties.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive 5 star a review for us, it's very much appreciated. It is really good for us to hear that you have said our team go above and beyond as well as being professional and friendly. We do our best every day. 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...
Unique senior care provides an exceptional service. The care understanding and genuine nature of the carers is second to none. The company has made an amazing contribution towards my neighbours (next of kin) life. I would not hesitate to recommend unique senior care to any person/ family in need of professional support.
Thank you for taking the time to write with such positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that we have made such a positive impact and that you would highly recommend our services. Our focus is on ensuring every client has the best quality service and it is clear from your comments that we have done just that. Thank you once again.
Amazing and professional company. Very happy leaving the caregiver in charge of care for my mam. My mam is happy and comfortable, has shown a great improvement since receiving care. I'd gladly recommend this company without hesitation.
Thank you for giving us an across the board five star review. We are delighted to read that you have mentioned the improvement in your mam since we have started and also that you would recommend our service without hesitation. It means a lot to us - 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. Our staff really do try to go the extra mile to enhance all of our client's lives, and this is a shining example. We are delighted that you are delighted - thank you once again.
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 absolutely recommend Unique Senior Care. The office manager and staff go out of their way to make sure you have the right carer to meet your needs, they listen and keep in touch. The carers we have are wonderful, they do all that is needed and more in a very professional and respectful way. They are a pleasure to have in the house.
Thank you for taking the time to send in such wonderful feedback. We are delighted to read that our team have taken the time to understand your needs and match you with the perfect team. We know that the team members really enjoy their time with you too. Thank you once again.
The service provided is excellent.
Thank you for writing to homecare.co.uk to share your opinion that our service is excellent. We are really pleased to read this. Thank you once again.
Both carers are very professional in looking after us and we cannot praise them enough. Five-star treatment - what more can I say.
Thank you for your 'five star' feedback. We are delighted to hear that our team of Caregivers are delivering against our promise of being the best. Thank you.
Very helpful when information is required. Friendly and cooperative.
Thank you for taking the time to send us 'five star' positive feedback. It is lovely to hear that our team have been very helpful. We do our best to communicate at all times. Once again, thank you.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to submit such positive feedback. It is very satisfying for us to think that we were able to keep your mother at home throughout her bout of Covid. We do really focus on ensuring our care and support reflect the needs of our clients and so, I’m delighted to hear that our team went above and beyond. Thank you once again.
Professional and friendly staff.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with a clean sweep of 'five star' feedback. It's really nice for us to read that you are happy with our service and that you feel we have matched you with a professional and friendly team of Caregivers. Thank you once again.
More than satisfied. Will recommend it to anyone.
Unique Senior Care have a great team approach to providing care at home. We were listened to regarding our needs and concerns about having carers coming into the home. Each carer that provided the support we wanted/needed, did so in a professional and timely manner, respecting Mum's wishes and environment. I would like to thank Unique Senior Care for their time, professionalism and care.
I would be very happy to recommend Unique Senior Care to give care to anyone who needs care and affection
Very helpful, friendly staff. I could not manage without them now.
Carers are generally excellent.
Unique was incredibly attentive to our needs. They made sure to arrange regular care assessments with us to keep up to date with the care my Stepdad needed. Staff were always incredibly caring and could be trusted. My stepdad's caregiver in particular, always went above and beyond expectation. Would definitely recommend Unique.
