Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Incredible care from such wonderfully kind, empathetic, helpful, friendly, honest, trustworthy and caring people that we have had the very good fortune to meet and work with. Thank you so much for making Mum's final year of her life more comfortable and happy. Mum unfortunately passed away on the 13th
of March 2024, completely at peace and in her own home, a promise myself (son) and my sister made to her and our late Dad. There is not enough space to write about how we feel about what they have done and the praise we wish to bestow on this organisation. Superbly run by sourcing the very best personalities and characters as carers, that’s what gives Radfield a position way above that of any care company I have known of. If you are looking for the very best care for your loved one, we would give Radfield Chester, the highest of recommendations for delivering the Gold standard of care that they provided for our mum. Great job. Well done, keep doing what you’re doing, Thank you again.
Reply from Julie Scott, Director at Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port

We cannot thank you enough for such high accolades of our services. Your mum was a lovely lady who was loved by all of her care professionals and she is being sadly missed by everyone. Everyone spoke very highly of your mum and had great respect for her. I will ensure to pass on your very kind words to everyone who knew her and thank you for inviting our care professionals into your home and making them feel part of the family.

I am really pleased with the service I have received while recovering from problems after left hip replacement and a nasty fall.

My review is from 23/10/23-24/1/24. All the carers are pleasant and reliable if there has been a problem they have contacted me, however, I do think the fees are high as there isn't anything to do but just check on the client and have a chat.

I am pleased (and relieved) that reliable and agreeable carers, who dad likes, are helping to extend Dad's independent living. He enjoys an hour of company, gets his evening meal cooked and served, and has some interesting conversations. His kitchen is always left clean and messages in his journal keep
us all up to speed with any issues.
Reply from Julie Scott, Director at Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port

Thank you for your review it is very much appreciated and we are very happy that your dad is enjoying his visits. Building relationships is very important to us and if there is ever anything else we can do for your dad then please just let us know.

Review from Chris B (Son of Client) published on 16 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think the relationship has definitely improved in the past year or so after my dad was issued with his two-week notice period which said you would be terminating the service which you later agreed to rescind.
Since then I feel like all my dad's needs have been met and that the staff and carers have
all treated my dad with respect and dignity.
My dad is no angel but unfortunately, that's part of his condition and he suffers from behavioural problems linked to his MS which very often leads him to act strange.
I did feel let down last year after the termination email arrived in my inbox but I do feel that this year Radfield have gone above and beyond in all aspects of the care given to my dad and support to the family.
Part of me still isn't sure whether that's only because we made an official complaint about the planned withdrawal of service or whether that's because they actually do care.
But nevertheless, I am still grateful for a good year of care for my dad.
Reply from Julie Scott, Director at Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port

Thank you for your review. We always strive to ensure our clients and families are happy with our service. I am glad you have been happy for the last year with your dad's care and our management team are always here to help with additional calls etc. when you need it.

We really value the service provided to Mum. The care team are punctual and follow the agreed care plan. They help Mum to shower and treat her with dignity and respect. The team are helpful and courteous and are happy to help Mum with whatever she asks. Mum really appreciates that she has a regular
team of carers who visit. She talks about them fondly. Mum also appreciates that all new team members are introduced to her, prior to visits. Thank you.

Now that Radfield Care are looking after me, I feel safe and more positive about managing to stay in my own home a little longer.
This is because the managers and carers have made every effort to listen to me and attend to my needs. So now I have some new friends and a family. Also very high-quality
carers.

My uncle receives a high standard of care from Radfield Home Care with 3 calls every day. The carers look after his daily needs with professionalism, care and consideration, checking that he is safe and comfortable at all times. The team also ensures that I am kept well informed, which helps give me
peace of mind, as I do not live close by.

Staff all friendly, but remain professional. Very caring and seem genuinely focused on assisting my daughter while still promoting independence where possible. We asked to receive a rota of which carers would be attending each day as my daughter is very keen on routines and likes to know what is going
on and we have always received these in a timely manner. A very professional caring team.

My personal opinion, Radfield Home Care on the sharp end, are patient and kind in completing their duties. I would like to see more uniformity across the team when it comes to the number of tasks they do on each visit, but overall I am pleased at the care they provide for my friend.
I appreciate it
is a challenging job, and due to the poor health of my friend, any chopping and changing of timings for her care plan, have been swiftly addressed - the Admin and Management staff are efficient - they are approachable and friendly without compromising on their professionalism.

Thank you very much for your review. We do always try to provide a person centred service that is driven by our clients. Professionalism is of the upmost importance and providing a family feel between our client and carer is paramount.

Radfield are professional across the board, always punctual, bringing a sense of actually being cared for. They go above and beyond the call of duty, whether it be the carers or those in the office.
They treat me with respect and dignity at all times, helped by the fact I get the same small team
of carers who have got to know me, and I, them. Which is so important if a relationship is to be fostered between the client and the carer.
What I enjoy most about this company are the personal touches along the way, be it from the staff in the office or those I see daily, and this adds to making me feel cared about and for. From management to care staff, there is always a listening ear, helping me to feel safe and well looked after in my home. There are 3-monthly reviews which affords the opportunity for me to air any concerns should they arise.

Clare Harding

Job Title: Registered Care Manager Joined: 2024

About Clare
We would like to introduce you to Clare Harding, the Registered Care Manager for Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port.


What is your background before joining Radfield?
I have over a decade of experience in care, starting out as a care professional. Over the years, I progressed to a field care supervisor and assistant care manager.


How has your background prepared you for your new role at RHC?
I started my career in care as a part-time care professional. When I moved over to the care sector full-time time I was promoted to field care supervisor, then to assistant care manager and on to registered care manager. Starting as a care professional has meant that I understand the challenges that care professionals face every day. I still enjoy delivering care and being out and about supporting the care professionals, clients and their families.


What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?
I have always enjoyed helping people and spending a lot of time with my grandma and her friends when I was a child. I was a manager in the catering sector for many years. I then went on to apply to be a part-time care professional, quickly discovering that I had found the perfect career path and moved over to the care sector full-time. I enjoy putting a smile on the clients' faces and going home with a feeling that I had made a difference in someone’s day.


How do you feel your role and your experience will benefit Radfield’s clients?
Throughout my career, I have completed every role in the field and in the office within Domiciliary Care. This has provided me with good overall knowledge of every part of the business. As a care professional, I especially enjoyed delivering end-of-life care and dementia care to clients. I have extensive knowledge and experience that our clients can benefit from. I am dedicated to delivering outstanding care to our clients and their families. To help our clients to live in their own homes with their memories for as long as possible.
