We have only been using this service for a short time (five weeks) to provide assistance to my mum. She was reluctant to accept help at first but has now settled really well. The carers all seem lovely and I particularly like the fact that visits are one hour as it gives the carers time to chat to Mum. Communication between the director and myself is easy and the carers are reliable. I am very pleased.
Thank you for your positive review, I will be sure to pass this on to the team. I'm really pleased you see the benefit of our 1-hour minimum visits, it really does help us to build stronger relationships with those we support.
We have used the service provided by Independent Living for over a year for my dad, who was struggling at home on his own due to poor mobility and deteriorating physical health. The care provided was bespoke and was assessed and evaluated often according to his changing needs. All of the carers (probably 4 or 5) were kind and caring and went above and beyond to help out and make my dad’s life fuller and happier. The care was good value for money too. I totally recommend this company to anyone searching for care for their family member. He has unfortunately had to go into a care home now as he needs 24 hour care but he misses his carers and the companionship provided by his Independent Living ‘family’ .
I will be sure to pass this on to the team.

Denise believes that her role as a care worker is rewarding, knowing that she has made another person feel, clean, comfortable, safe and reassured is what makes the job worthwhile.
We asked Denise what she would change within the care industry if she could? ‘I would get the government to open up colleges purely to show and teach people how to provide care respectfully and properly, we should be recognised as skilled workers’
We also asked Denise, why she liked working for independent Living? ‘Being out in the community gives me independence, but I know I have support if I need it, I see the same Clients on a regular basis and I like that continuity, and so do our clients’
