I could not fault the care we have received from Alcedo Care. The carers were so kind and loving. We both felt compassion from them and friendship. They went the extra mile.

Review from Lynn W (Daughter of Client) published on 13 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The company as a whole has worked as one doing what is best for Mum. Dialogue between the office and myself has always been positive. The care given to Mum and my husband has always been about them and their needs. The relationship with my mum (who has stage 6 dementia) has taken time to build and now
she is beginning to respond. I think this is down to the small number of carers attending on a regular basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Professional and reasonably well organised. Keep well to time. As far as possible send the same regular carers, which is most important as we have become familiar with them and trust them (my husband can easily be overwhelmed by strangers).
The standard of care is high and most carers go above and
beyond what is required of them, actively encouraging as much independence as possible. He is treated with dignity and respect.

Review from Moya C (Daughter of Client) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father and I are extremely happy with the service and care provided by Alcedo Care. My dad has vascular dementia and lives by himself. My sister and I realised that he needed prompts to look after his basic needs, so arranged for some care to be put in place. He was reluctant at first but after
an initial visit, his mind was eased and he realised that the help would be good. He now looks forward to his visits as he has built up a relationship with all his carers. They are all very dedicated and thoughtful. One recent example of this is when they found out it was the anniversary of his long time partner's death, they clubbed together to buy him some flowers (he loves flowers) and he was really moved by the gesture. The staff always go to great lengths to make sure that my dad's needs are met and that he is comfortable and we thank them for that. It eases our minds knowing that there is someone caring for my dad, twice a day, every day. Thank you for everything you do.

Thank you for your kind feedback - we love visiting your dad and glad this allows peace of mind. Regards.

Review from Wendy G (Daughter of Client) published on 28 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alcedo Care were very quick in providing care to my Mum when it was needed. They are all such friendly staff and we were able to ring them whenever or leave messages for them. All the carers she had where so lovely and would always make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. She very much
liked one of her carers in particular. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and she would often look forward to him coming. I would recommend Alcedo Care to anyone as I feel that they understood everything we wanted and the carers were superb. A very friendly company that I would say, like to go beyond what is expected. Always smiling, happy to help and they not only look after all their clients but invest in their staff too. Thank you Alcedo Care for all you did for my Mum, with a special thanks to her favourite carer.

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 4.939 for Alcedo Care Lancaster & Wyre is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.939

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Alcedo Care Lancaster & Wyre is based on 11 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.

Hi, my name is Faye and I am the Operations Manager for Alcedo Care Lancaster and Wyre.

Andrea

Andrea Woodruff

Job Title: Area Manager Joined: 2022

I'm Andrea, the Area Manager for Alcedo in Lancaster and Blackpool, with over 10 years of experience in all aspects of care. I started with Alcedo in December 2022 as a Coordinator for the agency side of the business, progressed to Care Manager in Blackpool, and now proudly oversee both areas in my current role.


Originally from Gibraltar, I began my career in care working in a children’s home, supporting families through a 12-week programme designed to help parents reunite with their children. After moving to the UK in 2015, I spent some time in insurance management before returning to care following maternity leave, and I haven’t looked back since.


I’ve truly found my niche in this sector. I love what I do and feel privileged to work with such a committed and compassionate team. Our clients and staff are at the heart of everything we do, and I’m passionate about maintaining the high standards Alcedo is known for.


When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me enjoying days out with my husband and our three children, or relaxing with a good Netflix series.
