I have no complaints at all about the carers and the office staff. The carers are kind and efficient. I have trouble understanding some of the carers but that is my fault not theirs.

Overall, it is a very good service. I do understand it's not possible, but it would be better if we could have the same carer for longer than a day. Apart from that, I am more than happy and very grateful for the carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Over the period of a month my mother was supported by two wonderful ladies offering round the clock care. They treated her with respect and kindness and above all patience. My mother was kept safe, well fed and supported with her daily tasks and self care. They helped my mother keep her living space
organised and ensured she was receiving the correct medication. They were able to sensitively assess my mother as to her long term needs and offered invaluable feedback that supported her move to a care home. I am incredibly grateful for all their professional support and cheerfulness. I felt confident to leave my mother in their care and couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carers did the best job possible with the difficulties of my sister's mental deterioration. When problems arose, the management team were excellent, and genuinely cared about my sister, which was lovely. They flagged up their concerns with me enabling us to keep my sister as safe as possible. They
took onboard extra tasks and visits and without their help I could not have coped with the situation.
Thank you Kwikfix, you really cared.

I would like to say the lady we had was wonderful, respectful, caring, thoughtful and very attentive. If I could have her for the rest of my mother's time on this planet then I would. My mother has dementia, bless her, resulting from a stroke so names and faces are hard for her, this wonderful woman
visited today a week after she left and Mum did remember her, that in itself is a minor miracle. I say all this so you can see that the staff are truly fantastic. Thank you so much.

Carers are excellent. They do a fantastic job. My uncle is well cared for and is clean and tidy. His room is kept clean and polished. His washing is done and he is kept in a safe environment. He has his meals made for him and he is being looked after very well.

Thank you for the appreciation on behalf of the carers. We are pleased that they are doing a splendid job and they will continue to do so as this is what we do.

Review from Emma S (Granddaughter of Client) published on 1 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Most carers were great however, it was stipulated at assessment for my Nan to not have male carers. Many of mornings a male carer would arrive to do her personal care. She did not receive a visit on Christmas Day and was left in bed until 12 noon where I personally went round and found her still in
bed. Disgraceful considering this ended up being her last Christmas with us.
Sadly my nan passed away in her sleep and carers entered to find her deceased. Ambulance was called and the office was made aware of her passing however, I got a phone call that very same afternoon asking how my nan was.
Office staff were terrible and cannot organise an army of ants.

Overall service is good.
Communication requires to be looked into.
Carers always complaining about their wages not being paid on time, this affects their work.
Spot checks and reviews are not carried out on a regular basis, unless reminded.

Review from Matthew B (Son of Client) published on 11 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Carers are always in a rush and ask to leave early regularly and can be argumentative. Seems they are more interested in getting the job done as quickly as possible and asking to leave early rather than providing my mum with the care needed. Damage to my mums property. The carpet has been damaged. The
toilet was blocked and left by carers. Around my mum's bed, there is damage to the walls. General lack of care for my mum's property. Food served to mum is sometimes prepared incorrectly or given to her cold and even once frozen. Washing up by the carers is inadequate. Knife and forks tend to not have been cleaned correctly and need to be rewashed. Carers don't tidy up after themselves. Leave messy work surfaces. Not disposing of rubbish correctly. Safety lock has been left open with code on show a few times now. The biggest issue with the carers from this company is that they are in a rush to get in and out and ask to leave early. This leads to the carers making mistakes and not providing the proper care needed.

Very pleased with company, staff very helpful.
Just one thing, I wish you would not send in carers that are very nervous of dogs, I have two cockapoos.
My 9-year-old is not very bouncy. So gentle. My 6-year-old is very playful, they both would not hurt anyone.

Very satisfactory, overall staff Lovely however communication could be better !and cars not breaking down everybody knows what I think I am always honest in my opinion we get there some days can be very frustrating .because staff don't always understand on communication level but we get around it
And
stuff transportation cars offer breakdown often don't get phone by headquarters .plus if drivers are stuck in traffic also the staff would say we were late because of the traffic always traffic on the road .anyway. Think that what I meant by management issues.

Carers always cheerful and treat my husband with respect, even though he has little communication skills they still speak to him.
Management support could be improved to both client and carers. Don't think it's right we should have to phone to ask where carers are when 2 hours late due to vehicle problems,
especially when carers reported issue and asked office to advice clients.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.345 for Kwikfix Recruitment Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.345
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Kwikfix Recruitment Services Ltd is based on 18 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2002

What inspired me to found Kwikfix Recruitment Services?
I grew up in a community where community spirit and care values run deep, and I was inspired to become a leader who transforms care standards and inspires others to follow. It's a chance to lead with a heart, vision and purpose- a service that believes in delivering care the way people want it- with respect, safety, understanding and compassion at every step.


I have a master's degree in Environmental Resource Management with a bias towards renewable energies. My bachelor's degree is in Chemistry. I have been an entrepreneur since 2002 and have worked to create opportunities for others. I am committed to making a positive difference to people in any way I can.


I have always enjoyed being involved in the community, from volunteering in raising money for charities to tackling environmental issues like fly-tipping to waste disposal, to turning waste into energy. At the moment, we are working on how we can use food innovation to enhance well-being for our service users.
