This agency offered us as a family the world. We said what hours and what days we needed, yes no problem said the manager that came out, only to find they cannot provide. Staff being told different times, no communication from management when they say they will phone back. Promises, promises but always let down. All they said is sorry, they don’t think about how it would affect my child with autism to be told no dancing this week. The turnover of staff is appalling, but having said that the ones who have come here have been amazing and they are a loss to the company. If I had found this out before we would never have signed up. On joining this company it was a relief for me and my family, to eventually have a break, from all the stress and anxiety. We could not even go to the shop, have any respite, and because the care hasn’t been up to standard as promised, my and my family's well-being has significantly decreased, which causes so much stress in our house and worry.
We are very sorry we have fallen short of your expectations however we had no alternative but to withdraw our services from the care package we were providing for your child. We always do our best to work with our clients and their relatives but there comes a point when we can no longer put up with...
Submitting for my Mum who has dementia. I would like to say how thankful I am to all at Alcedo, who made my Mum feel valued and special. Extremely supportive and friendly staff with great caring attitudes. Plenty of laughter had by all. I would not hesitate to recommend Alcedo to others. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I have passed this over to the staff who are very much appreciative. It was a pleasure to support your mum.
The girls are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. Through covid, they nipped to the shops and chemist so that my friend had everything he needed. Most of all they were his company and companions. I can't thank them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we always go above and beyond for all our customers.
The only very minor negative is that Alcedo are slightly more expensive than other agencies I’ve used, but they’re certainly much better at communicating than other agencies!
Thank you for your kind words. I have passed this over to the ladies who have supported you. If you should require any further support in the future, please get in contact with us.
Alcedo care in Wigan has been great. They are very informative and supportive, not just to my nan but also to the family. The staff are really friendly, caring and always go the extra mile. I would highly recommend this company to others.
Thank you for your review. Here at Alcedo Care, we strive to always go above and beyond for every customer. It was a pleasure to be able to meet your nan and to support your family. We wish you all the very best.
All of the staff at Alcedo Wigan were amazing looking after my neighbour. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They have helped her maintain her dignity and her privacy whilst remaining at home and also made her smile again.
I’m getting very good care for my son who is on the autism spectrum. Carers take care of him and teach him manners and new skills each day which is commendable. Keep up the good work please!
Thank you for your lovely review, we pride ourselves on providing person-centred support to your family.
Alcedo care for my Nan. I’ve had no issues whatsoever thanks to them. They have made it easy and straightforward and have really made things easy for my family. I would highly recommend them.
I should like to thank all of the girls that provided my care. They were like a breath of fresh air coming into our home, happy to complete any of the tasks I gave them, and leaving me feeling positive, uplifted, and ready to start my day! I would definitely use this company again.
Thank you for your kind words, it has been an absolute pleasure to support you. We wish you all the very best in the future and I have passed the lovely feedback onto our staff members.
