Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Utmost Care looked after my mother as a care package when leaving hospital after a hip fracture. The carers were always cheerful and friendly arriving with a big smile. Mum always felt at ease and they always asked if there was anything they could do for her.
Thank you, Utmost Care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since July 2022 when a care package was put in place on discharge from hospital, my mum has been cared for by the staff at Utmostcare. Whilst she was reluctant at first, Mum soon realised what a difference the carers could make to her life and she has embraced their support and care ever since. All
the carers we have had have shown amazing compassion and kindness and for that, I am very grateful. I would recommend Utmostcare to anyone looking for support for their loved ones.
All contact with the manager has been very efficient, professional and supportive.

Dear Cathryn, thank you for the positive feedback and we will continue to give your mum the Utmostcare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very first night this company were allocated to care for my mum, (since March 2022) that's exactly what they did - care for her. My mum accepted the team of carers coming 3 times a day readily and even had a favourite. All the carers were polite and respectful to my mum and she always enjoyed
some fun banter with them all.
I can't thank this company enough for the care they gave my mum and when there was an issue the manager responded very quickly, even once attending to Mum herself to make sure she had been looked after.

Thank you so much for your very kind words. It's our pleasure to be able to provide the care and support that means so much to you.

Right from the beginning, the staff at Utmostcare have been brilliant and nothing is too much trouble. I have phoned up a few times and requested certain things that my mother-in-law needed and straight away they answered my calls and put into place what my mother-in-law needed. My mother-in-law had
a massive stroke at Easter so she has needed a lot of patience and support I can't thank the staff enough for how they have helped and supported her to get some normality back into her life. Thank you.

The standard of care from Utmostcare was really good. We appreciated everything they did for my mum after being discharged from the hospital, especially as she suffers from dementia and can be difficult. Overall, I would highly recommend it and have had a really good experience with them.

I have had carers from Utmost care for two weeks. I am so happy with the care they are giving my husband, who has advanced Parkinsons. In my experience, the team that have been looking after him are considerate, kind and professional. After a long stay in hospital, they have enabled my husband to come
home and have met each challenge with understanding. They have listened to my concerns and addressed each problem calmly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Utmostcare only came to my mum for a few short weeks before she sadly passed away. During their time with us, I found them to be compassionate, kind and so very caring not only to my Mum, but to all of us, as a family. My mum looked forward to their visits and they always managed to put a smile on her
face, no matter how much pain she was in. On very difficult days, they would sing to her and this helped her no end. There are no words to describe the amazing people they are. So thank you to all her carers for making my mum's last few weeks happy and comfortable.

Review from Wendy P (Daughter of Client) published on 12 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to give a big thank you for the care and respect they have given to my Mother. The way they have treated her is absolutely fabulous. They are so polite and patient with her, always show so much care the way they talk with her and the way the care is carried out, you couldn’t ask for anything
more than what they are doing for her. My mother had a fall and the carer arrived and found her on the floor she gave her so much attention and even called back later to check on her which I found to be absolutely outstanding. Then I had a phone call to advise me about my mother and what had happened - that, to me, shows dedication and care. My mother absolutely loves the carers and even though she may not recognise them all the time, I just know she feels comfortable and confident with them and the care they give her. She has never allowed anybody to help her dress or shower, yet Utmostcare have made her overcome this fear as she was a very independent and proud lady. Thank you.

This team of carers are simply the most amazing, caring people I have ever met. They have been caring for my husband since he was discharged from hospital and they cannot do enough for him. As he is now bedbound, they do ensure he is clean and comfortable. They also look out for me. I would recommend
them 100%.

Cannot express how caring this company have been to accommodate my father's needs, going above and beyond, but most of all, showing such kindness and compassion. One member of staff, in particular, really is one amazing carer and she really does genuinely care about her clients' well being and ensuring
they get the best care possible. We have used a number of companies over the last few years but this is by far the best. I could not recommend them enough.

Job Title: Care Coordinator Joined: 2013

I started my career as a young carer when I had to do PD dialysis for a family member, I did this for over 4 years. This made me very passionate about helping others fulfil their lives by providing assistance and managing various health-related conditions.


I have been in complex care for the last 11 years having done vast training including tracheostomy care in the community and hospital settings. Also have vast experience in using ventilation equipment like Bipap/ Cpap Cough assist and suction machines.


Regularly using feeding pumps. Managing Diabetes and monitoring vital signs. Also coordinating with Doctors and nurses to maintain optimal care for client needs and health.


I am compassionate and reliable with good relationship-building abilities. I am bilingual in English/Urdu/Punjabi and have excellent interpersonal communication skills and organizational skills to help run a positive and high-quality driven environment and anticipate the needs of our clients.


My hobbies include spending time with family and friends often going on walks or outings. I enjoy time in the garden growing vegetables and flowers. I often help within the local community day centre/ mosque ladies' group where vulnerable people attend and have a language barrier with translating and filling in forms for them.

Job Title: Senior Carer

It’s an honour for me to be a Carer. I have learnt how to be patient and listen and be supportive, also professional and responsible to do my duty and take care of my clients.
Being friendly and just listening to the clients, I made a strong bond with them. It’s the most important thing and makes the job way more easier.


As a Carer,I have to do personal care, medication, hoisting, bowel movement and support work.


Doing these different types of care work gave me a lot of experience. For some client I have to do their medication. I have to keep an eye on the medication running out or not and have to contact the GP sometimes. For Other clients I have to take them to the Pharmacy or shopping. By doing that I have learnt how to deal with different mindsets of people.


Although taking care of people is one of my hobbies, but I also enjoy doing gardening, cooking, playing football, swimming , reading books and more.


I believe my eagerness to help people who are in need ties me to the job I’m doing and with that it’s contributing to the society to give the Vulnerable people what they need.
