I never thought I would need support in looking after my wife but as her dementia progressed I had to call for help and I couldn't be more satisfied with the care that Blossom is providing and would recommend them to others.
Hi, we're really happy you feel confident with our carers. We're really enjoying getting to know you and your wife!
Blossom helped me to care for my mother in the last few months of her life when her health deteriorated to the extent that she needed much more care than I was qualified for. The office manager and her team quickly established a good relationship with her and they were all a great support to the whole family in my mother's last few months. I cannot recommend them too highly.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We're glad we could help to support you, your Mum and your family.
We have been using Blossom Home Care for our great aunt since March 2021. The care provided is high quality and personalised. The care is delivered with empathy by the carers without exception and with consideration for the whole family. The owner is always willing to consider any changes to the plan. We have had very few queries but if they arise they are swiftly dealt with. We have sometimes had to request additional care at fairly short notice and this has been accommodated. Having been sole carer of our aunt for some time I was very nervous about taking on a care company but I didn't need to worry. I am now confident that our aunt will be taken care of in my absence. I arrive on an evening after the call and find her happy and well looked after. The carers have alerted me to potential health changes which I wouldn't have noticed and do genuinely care about her. I would recommend this care facility to other families.
Thank you for your great review! We're really glad we can help support your Great Aunt!
Absolute lifesavers. The care and companionship they provide is five stars. Could not do without them and my mum loves her daily visits not to mention the lovely meals she is made. If you are looking for home care look no further than Blossom.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're glad your Mum loves our cooking!
Blossom has been supporting my 92-year-old Mother for more than six months now and they have been an absolute lifesaver. From the first contact with the owner on the phone it was obvious we had finally found a company who would be able to support our needs with compassion and professionalism. When we met the office manager we knew we had found our people and they have been nothing short of wonderful ever since. The girls who look after Mum are friends to her as well as supporting her every need and she is so fond of her longest standing carers. They know exactly how she likes things done and go above and beyond, doing extra little things that I notice all the time. I really can’t imagine how we would manage without Blossom and can wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Thank you for a brilliant review. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know your Mum!
All the staff are so professional, caring and friendly and Mum looks forward to every visit.
Communication between the agency and myself is excellent.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a privilege to look after your mother and we are proud of the care we provide helping her to maintain her independence.
I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you for your fabulous review. It has been a pleasure and a privilege providing you with the care and support which has helped you to maintain your independence and wellbeing.
Each carer who has attended has been friendly, very helpful and willing to do anything that has been asked of them. They have all encouraged my independence and have so with regard to my dignity. Every carer has been efficient and has ensured that my needs come first.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is a pleasure to provide the support you need to maintain your independence. We are proud to hear that you are happy with the service we provide.
It has been a huge relief to have such a professional service and significantly better than anything we have previously had.
Thank you for your review of our service and kind words. It is a privilege to care for your family member and I will pass on your excellent feedback to our care team.
Blossom Homecare has been caring for my Mother for 3 weeks now and I want to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care they’re providing. I am so pleased we found this care company, all the carers are compassionate, caring and treat my mother with the dignity and respect she deserves. From the onset the support from the manager has been tremendous, she has provided information and has ensured that my Mother’s needs are fully met. My motto is always to treat others as you would want to be treated yourself and they do exactly that.
Many thanks for the wonderful review, Susan. It is an absolute privilege to be caring for your mum.
Blossom care provided personal and emotional care to both my husband and myself, at a difficult time. The carers were punctual, proficient and above all empathetic. The managers kept me informed and alerted professionals when required. Their input was invaluable. As we live in a remote area in the upper dales the carers battled truly inclement weather to get here. Words can't express my gratitude. I would highly recommend this service, service being inappropriate as these are people who care.
