Overall Experience

I am happy with the care my Dad is receiving from Royal Care. All the staff that assist my Dad are very respectful and treat him with dignity. They interact with him respectfully and care for him well. I have been present when the carers arrive and have heard them talk and joke with my Dad which is lovely to hear. The carers also interact with my Mum well as she is the main carer for my Dad with my support. My Mum would not be able to manage without the caring support from the carers, and it would not be possible keep him at home. The standard of care is excellent and I have no concerns. Having the monthly review from Royal Care manager is valuable as if there is any concerns they are sorted out efficiently. All the family are very pleased with the care my Dad is getting and I thank all the carers for what they do and as it means so much to me as my Dad can stay at home with my Mum with there support. I thank you all for your care and treating my Mum and Dad with respect. Thank you all

Royal care staff are wonderful!
This is from both myself and my mother that has the care from you. They are thorough,friendly, efficient and above all, caring. We are very happy with the service.
My mother has formed lovely relationships with them and we couldn't wish for kinder carers to trust my mother with
The only thing I don't know how to check is the actual time they spend there? What time they arrive and what time they leave?
David is always available to sort out any queries or amendments and I would recommend them to any family that want to retain a family feel for their loved them

The care given to my cousin has been great. The carers were always kind,reassuring & polite. Although she didn't want to change to new carers they made the transfer smooth and positive. Her needs were their main priority. I can't thank them enough.

All of those who were involved in the care for Mum treated her with respect and were mindful of her dignity.
Communication between the company and the family was very good and responses to any questions/queries were dealt with promptly either by phone or email.

Overall Experience

I have been a service user since February 2024 to date without complaint. All the ladies look after me very well and I look forward to seeing them every day. I have good days, bad days and in-between days and the ladies take my needs into account to ensure I am comfortable and catered for. We do a lot of laughing when they are here. They work hard, are diligent, always polite and sympathetic to my health issues and needs at all times.

Review from Martin T (Client / Service User) published on 28 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I was transferred to Royal Care the end of December 2022 as another agency was unable to provide care level the council wanted. Since then, I have seen twenty-nine carers in fourteen and a half months. In dealing with clients, mostly women who (legally) refuse male carer, no problem as such with Royal Care employing staff from an Indian state but some are unfamiliar with UK national food, gas hob, frying pan etc. Phoned a cookery tutor but she has retired. All should know how to use key safe. As a former manager, I refuse to say who is number one etc.

Review from George M (Son of Client) published on 18 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As soon as the company was contracted for service the management team visited the house and fully debriefed the family to understand every detail of Mum's care needs. Thereafter, the carers attending to Mum's needs were always punctual, personable, polite, respectful and totally professional, engaging Mum in conversation throughout their visits and exhibiting compassion and kindness. Carers engaged in conversation with family during ad hoc visits, providing care and welfare updates in a very professional and compassionate manner. The visit reports viewable on the App also allowed the family to monitor in detail the care provided at each visit and Mum's developing health needs. Communication with the office management team via phone or email was always responded to promptly and requests were actioned as appropriate. Overall the service provided by this company has been excellent and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful staff - always smiling and happy, giving great care to my husband. Management always available and ready to help. I have not filed in value for money as the cost of this care causes us great stress - two visits a day for ten to fifteen minutes a time instead of four visits a day cost £22 less!

Review from A W (Brother of Client) published on 9 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I had an absolutely horrendous experience with Royal Care, and I feel compelled to share my negative review to warn others about the kind of service they provide. My encounter with this company was nothing short of a nightmare.
1. Incompetent Staff: The caregivers sent by Royal Care were completely incompetent. They lacked the basic skills and knowledge required to take care of my loved one. It was evident that they had received minimal training if any at all. This led to constant errors and even put the health of my family member at risk.
2. Lack of Accountability: When we raised concerns with Royal Care, they brushed them off and made excuses. There was a complete lack of accountability for their mistakes and shortcomings. It was clear that they prioritised their bottom line over the well-being of their clients.

I would strongly advise anyone considering Royal Care to look elsewhere for care services.
