Review from Sarah B (Daughter of Client) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Carers and Caring Team at Unique Homecare are brilliant. I live a very long distance from my Mum and they keep me informed of what is happening with her health and support needs. This is extremely reassuring. They are very responsive to my requests and act upon them promptly, keeping me informed all the time. Mum really enjoys having the Carers come in to assist her and to have a chat.

We have only been a customer of Unique Homecare since mid December 2025. We have been very pleased how the morning carer service has bedded down so quickly. Our father feels very comfortable with the carers and the care they provide. The carers are very kind, considerate and always looking to complete as many tasks as they can for our father

As a family we can't recommend Unique Homecare highly enough. Unique's communication in person, on the phone and on the app was always clear and effective - at the same time friendly and professional. Nothing felt too much trouble.

Carers were always on time and treated Mum with kindness and respect, seeing her as an individual and responding sensitively to her changing needs. They also supported Dad with practical tasks and their presence gave him some valuable respite as he cared for Mum.

Overall Experience

My Mum has Unique carers helping her every day and has done for a couple of years now. It was such a relief to find a care company who cared, are professional and do such a great job. Mum is listened to, feels safe and I know when I am away I can relax knowing they will be looking after her. Unique communicate with me well and encourage us to contact them if there are any concerns or changes we would like. All of the carers are very well trained and always spend the allotted time with my Mum. They carry out personal care, meal preparation and cleaning and do a thorough job every visit.

Review from Sally H (Daughter of Client) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would not hesitate to recommend Unique Healthcare Lincoln. They helped me navigate my parents care needs, taking into account my parents wishes at all times while listening and understanding my increasing concerns about the fragility of their home situation. The care staff were respectful, supportive, caring, always listened and I always felt that they saw the person rather than tasks or a job to be done. My parents were therefore able to establish and maintain good relationships with them and feel valued, listened to and care about. The office staff were incredibly helpful, understanding and supportive. They did all they could to allocate consistent carers on a regular basis. They kept good time so my parents knew when to expect visits. . I always felt they were incredibly fair about costs and did all they could to keep them affordable. Excellent service all round during what has been a very challenging time.

Review from D K (Daughter of Client) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Over the past three years Unique have provided care for my Mum, which has enabled her to live in her own home in line with her wishes, despite increasing care needs. Throughout this time, it has been evident, demonstrated through their actions, that these carers, really care. Mum trusted them and felt safe with them. They were punctual, reliable and positive, whilst providing individualised care.
Mum's needs were regularly assessed and her care plan modified as required: the team always responded quickly to our requests.
The communication with us as daughters was effective and efficient , handled with great care and sensitivity.
There were a number of occasions when carers stayed with my Mum at short notice, to maintain her safety until we could reach her. The care demonstrated on these occasions was outstanding and quite possibly unique.

My Mum and I can recommend this company without reservation and I will be forever grateful for the impact they made in Mum's final years.

I have been so impressed by the service I've received from Unique Homecare. Email responses to my initial enquiries were not only prompt but very helpful and I have subsequently been able to choose a level of care for my mother specifically tailored to her needs at the moment. The carers have been so willing, practical and friendly and very punctual too! Whenever I've had any contact with Unique, whether in person or by telephone, it has been friendly and efficient and my overall impression so far is one of a very professional service. I've personally felt so reassured at what has been a difficult and uncertain time and I'd recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

Overall Experience
I highly recommend Unique homecare. Since day one of contact the team have been nothing but brilliant. From the initial home visit to assess what we needed for mum to starting visits the time frame was great.
We currently have three morning visits a week just to give me a few mornings without having a carer visit to do beforehand. Whenever we've needed additional visits the team have been instant to respond.
Communication from the team is brilliant. We use a message book for quick requests for the carer to do such as moving a lunch plate down for mum in her fridge. The team are always quick to let me know if they have spotted anything with mums health during their visit via email and phone.

Mum was also invited to a Christmas social with the team and other service users and although she was unable to attend this last one it was nice for her to recieve an invitation.

The lady who comes fortnightly to spend time with my wife, who has Alzheimer's, is very caring, professional and so very friendly. When visiting she fully engages my wife in conversations and spends time helping her with crosswords and word search books. While I can do these tasks having a someone else involved stimulates my wife's mind and does her a lot of good.

What an exceptional company! We are often quick to complain but slow to praise. I and all of my family have been thrilled at the quality of care and conscientious staff employed here. Nothing is too much trouble. Even if something isn't quite right, a quick word sees immediate action and resolution or compromise.
You do get what you pay for! A little over the average hourly rate but worth every single penny! You would be lucky to find better communication skills and constant monitoring of your loved ones, which gives you peace of mind and allows your life to carry on.

Don't hesitate to call this company, you will not regret it!

Overall Experience

I've only recently joined Unique as a client. I'm 83, male, and a stroke victim with fairly significant mobility issues. Living alone and needing further help at weekends I was advised to contact Unique. What a wonderful piece of advice. From day one it's been an exceptional experience. Admission procedures were swift and efficient, including a visit to my own home by a senior member of staff. What followed in practice was a template of that first impression. The frontline carers are first-rate. Punctuality and reliability are 'givens'. Generous with their time and spirit, they are such welcoming ambassadors to the quality of care that Unique provides. Administratively, the constituent parts of the company work in unison, all on the same page. Training of staff is rigorous and much appreciated. I experienced first-hand the shadowing visits for new recruits. I have no hesitation in recommending Unique to anyone seeking exceptional care provision.

Overall Experience

I have been using Unique Homecare Services to provide personal care and home help for my mum for around six months now and our experience has been very positive. The initial assessment was very thorough and the subsequent care plan was well tailored to suit my mum's specific needs and preferences. My mum has been happy with the care she has received so far-she has found the carers respectful, attentive and patient. I have been very impressed with both the service's quality of communication with me and the flexibility of the care they have provided to accommodate my mum's circumstances.

Rachael O'Donnell Job Title: Managing Director Joined: 2020
Rachael O'Donnell

Rachael completed her Diploma in Mental Health Nursing at the University of Nottingham, Lincoln campus in 2005.

She went on to spend 13 years working in forensic services gaining a wealth of experience in the care and treatment of service users with acute mental illnesses and complex needs. During this time also achieved a BSc (Hons) Degree in Mental Health and Social Care.

In 2018 Rachael joined the Continuing Healthcare Team in Bassetlaw in the role of Nurse Assessor working alongside the CCG. This required skills and knowledge in the provision and commissioning of care in the community through conducting comprehensive assessments of the mental and physical health needs of service users and their subsequent care requirements to ensure that those needs were met to ensure the best quality of life.

In the community, she saw first-hand the lack of high-quality care services in the community, with many offering poor continuity of care, changeable visit times and a lack of peace of mind for clients and their families. She started Unique Homecare Lincoln Ltd in 2020 with a vision of building a company that provided only the highest quality of service to each and every one of the clients, and a workplace where team members are nurtured and feel valued in their roles.
