Overall Experience

This agency has made my life hell since they took my contract in Apr 24. My contract was for 2 calls a day, 8am and 8pm for 1 hour each call. It was also stipulated in my contract that I needed to have a regular care worker because my children don't like strangers being in the house. I've rarely seen

the same person more than once. The morning call turns up any time between 6am and 12pm and the evening call any time between 4pm and 10pm! 90% of them can't speak English and are unable to communicate, they only stay for 40 mins each call, they rarely get more than one task done. They are rude and disrespectful and turn up smelling like they've not bathed in months. The office staff are completely useless and do nothing to help. It's not just clients having issues either, I know that they are not paying staff, they are lying about members of staff's names due to complaints, they are abusing vulnerable clients and not providing care because they are unable to complain. They are a liability.

Reply from Stephanie Morris, Registered manager at Care At Home Group Cheshire East & Northwich Branch

I am saddened to read your review, not only because of the negative experience you have made comments about but also because not all of the above concerns had been reported through to the office. I would like to respond and advise you are correct that the call times were not always to schedule and efforts were made to rectify this however, I feel that the concern you have raised regarding the staffing is untrue. All of our employees are employed staff members, all complete a CQC standard onboarding and training process and all staff are monitored and have regular check ins with the office team. Our employees do also sometimes go by preferred names this does not mean we lie about our employees' names. I did try to reach out to speak to you regarding your concerns however you did not wish to meet with me, I apologise that we weren't able to provide the service that you would have liked, and we have taken some of your comments for advisement on ways we can improve our service.

Review from J H (Daughter of Client) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Whilst the carers themselves are lovely, the management of the care service is totally shambolic.
This is not person centred care. We never know whether a carer will turn up for my father or not, or when they will come.
No one has the courtesy to ring and tell us anything and new staff who turn

up have had no training and we have to show them what to do. Carers are given no travel time so are always late. My dad’s carer is supposed to come at 8.30. They actually come anywhere from 7am to 11am. With no contact. Sometimes they just don’t turn up. It means I have to get him up most mornings myself rather than work. They are totally unreliable and you really can’t depend on them. At weekends they don’t answer the phone. Constant excuses from a revolving door of new managers. Avoid this branch at all costs.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. We take concerns like this very seriously. I can assure you that all the concerns featured in this review have been addressed within the branch. Whilst the package did end recently with Care at Home Group, we went above and beyond to reinstate this care package when another care provision did not work out. We will continue to work with the client and their family to ensure the service meets expectations.

If you would like to discuss this any further please contact the registered manager Kerry Fisher Kerry.fisher@cahg.co.uk

Overall Experience

We are so fortunate having the carer you have sent to us. Nothing is too much trouble. She always has a smile on her face, whatever the day has been. I, being the carer to my husband, it is so lovely seeing someone different and being able to talk to them. I must say, the carer is always tidy and wears

a protective apron and gloves.
Thank you for everything.

Overall Experience

The manager and the community care coordinator are brilliant, also the care team that goes into my mum are fantastic. Couldn't ask for better peace of mind. Very supportive and caring. I feel 100% safe and happy knowing Mum is getting the care she needs.

Review from Helen S (Daughter of Client) published on 5 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I could not compliment the team that works with Mum and Dad enough. They have changed our lives. Their care is second to none and they have never let us down. Having them takes the stress away.
What I particularly like is they listen to your requests and implement them within the plan. Mum and Dad

are very happy and their lives revolve around seeing the carers' smiley faces.
Because I live away, they have shown me how to update the app on my phone and I can follow their progress throughout the day which takes away any worries on my side.
They are very much part of our family now.

Review from Dani I (Daughter of Client) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We were very apprehensive about using a new care provider, given Dad’s level of disability. Care At home Group has been outstanding. Faultlessly reliable. Very approachable and good lines of communication between staff and family. Our concerns have been eased and it’s been great to have a team of people

looking after Dad who actually cares.

The staff at Care At Home Group are wonderful and so helpful, they know what to do for me before I even ask.
My needs are taken care of, so lovely, everyone is so adaptable too, nothing is too much trouble at all and they put me at ease and make me feel comfortable. They always leave me with a smile

on my face.
I cannot recommend them enough, they are like family to me now. I appreciate them very much.

Overall Experience

After months of care for my grandparents, I can provide an honest review of the service provided by Care At home Ellesmere Port.

The team do a fantastic job looking after their complex needs. Always on hand over the phone if needed. Always happy to accommodate any needs or changes we request to

make my grandparents more comfortable. The carers that come over, I can honestly say do care and do want what's best for both of them. Really happy to be getting their support in this difficult time made much easier by the commitments to look after them. Thank you.
