Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my Mother and I made the difficult, but preferred decision for her to go to her own home rather than a care home, this left the responsibility to the care provider.
I must say that all the carers that visit her have made her living at home possible, enjoyable and above all puts both minds at
ease.
Great job done by all, Thank you
Reply from Annie Syed, Director at Homelium Dorset

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that our carers have helped make your mother's wish to remain at home possible and reassuring for you both. Your feedback means a lot to our team. We will be sure to pass this on to the care team!

Homelium has genuinely transformed my life. It's given me a level of freedom, independence, and dignity that I never thought possible. From the very beginning, everything was handled with care, respect, and professionalism. I feel listened to, supported, and empowered. It's not just about practical
help-it's about feeling human again, being able to make choices, and having space to breathe. I can now enjoy everyday life more fully, and that's priceless. I'm incredibly grateful for the difference this has made

Review from R B (Husband of Client) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Carers have been coming now for about three weeks and i am more than surprised at the service given, never having had any reason to use a similar service previously. The Carers, without exception, are very pleasant, prompt, kind and seem very efficient and understanding, but perhaps more importantly
they are already begining to seem like friends to my wife and I (and the dog, who always rushes to the door to greet them for some extra attention). We only use the service to assist with getting up, washing/showering and dressing at the moment, which gives me a little time to sort out breakfast, feed the dog and generally prepare for the day.
I would recommend Homelium to anyone who needs some extra help.
Reply from Annie Syed, Director at Homelium Dorset

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly delighted to hear that our carers have made such a positive impression and are already becoming a friendly part of your daily routine. It's lovely to hear the dog approves too! We're grateful for your recommendation and proud to be supporting you both.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First week with Homelium has been excellent.
The only thing I would change are the early visits. 8.30am and 5.45pm would be ideal for me. I like the fact that a little light cooking is available with the staff and help with personal care is offered. Being a former Care Assistant myself for 25
years is important.
Reply from Annie Syed, Director at Homelium Dorset

Thank you for your kind feedback and for sharing your experience so far. We're really pleased to hear that your first week with us has gone well. We appreciate your suggestion about visit times and will review this with the team to ensure we can best accommodate your preferences of call times. It's lovely to support someone with such a strong background in care.

Very pleased overall with the quality of care my husband receives. Carers are kind and compassionate and generally knowledgeable especially as my husbands needs are very complex. They are punctual, in uniform with identity badges. He enjoys their company and is happy.

My brother has been a client for nearly 4 years and we are very happy with the excellent care they provide. He enjoys the company of the carers and I have peace of mind knowing he is being well cared for. Problems pop up with my brother from time to time and I feel safe in the knowledge that one phone
call to the carer and it's sorted. Nothing is too much trouble, they truly are a godsend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so glad to hear you and your brother are satisfied with the care we provide and that he enjoys the company of our carers.

Very caring, considerate and professional and aware of client's needs. They keep in touch with the client's family and they make sure the client has all the necessary items that they need.

My brother is on end-of-life heart failure and they came to the hospital to arrange when they're coming out. The communication is great and the cares are so lovely. I'd highly recommend this company. They care not just about my brother, they care about me and even if I don't need help sometimes just
having a chat helps.
Reply from luke roe, Marketing Executive at Homelium Dorset

Thank you for your kind words and for trusting Homelium with your brother's care. It's our privilege to provide the support he needs. We'll continue to do everything we can to ensure his comfort and well-being. We are glad to hear our carers care for you as well, this is something we value highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been with this care company since January and this is my first experience of care in the home and the care has been consistently of a very high standard, adapting to my changing needs over this period of time. All carers have taken responsibility for the various required health related equipment
that is used on a daily basis. In the last few weeks I have been suffering from a cold which has required extensive full use of the cough assist which most carers have happily adapted to. All carers are friendly and accommodating and have fitted into our daily family routines with the minimum amount of intrusion.

I do not have many dealings with the provider's office so generally speak to senior carers of needs. Most concerns are the availability of carers at times, of which I believe can affect care providers in general these days. Unfortunately, under today's climate, not all carers are suitable to caring
and do not last long.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. This is helpful for us to understand how we can further improve our service. We will be in touch with you directly to discuss further and ensure you are happy with the staff members and the call times are more suitable.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.847 for Homelium Dorset is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.847

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Homelium Dorset is based on 11 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Alison French

Job Title: Operations Director

My journey into the world of care started with late-night shifts for my mother-in-law’s care home, all while my husband was on duty in Bosnia. It was a unique introduction that sparked my passion for personalised care!


What I love most about my role is the opportunity to tailor care for each client and connect them with the perfect team of carers. One memorable accomplishment that stands out is making sure a desperate family could reunite with their dad for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, I went above and beyond, conducting a care assessment in the hospital and checking out the home environment, ensuring a heartwarming Christmas Eve reunion. The smiles on their faces made it all worthwhile.


A little bit about me: I may not have a quirky skill, but I sure can sing! I was an alto in the Military Wives Choir. Singing is my stress-buster and my way of bringing joy to others! My go-to karaoke song would be “Fairytale of New York”- my husband popped the question on a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park- a real-life fairytale in the city that never sleeps!
