Thank you very much for your lovely review. It is an honour to support you all in these challenging times.
Started with Helping at Home in January and having experienced 4-months of care for my mum we could not be happier. The visit timings are perfect, they vary no more than 15 minutes and the pool of carers who support mum is very consistent. Mum is very happy and speaks highly of all the carers with a couple of favourites. We get weekly rotas in advance and every time I have spoken to the office team they have been professional, supportive and very friendly. A recent highlight was a home visit to review the care and support mum is getting. Megan was friendly, professional and attentive with mum, taking care to allow time for mum to process what she was being asked and answer in her own time. We are totally happy with the team and the care provided, and I recommend anyone looking for care in the home speak to the Helping at Home team as part of their search, they're excellent.
Thank you so much for your lovely review it is an honour to look after mum. She certainly has a good family surronding her as well which makes all the difference.
All the staff are super friendly and caring always checking care needs and making suitable adjustments with regular reviews. Getting in touch with the office for any updates or changes is easy and the company are accommodating. Really pleased with the care service provided.

All the staff are really nice people, kind and caring and respectful of both myself and my home. Needs are not only physical, but the friendliness and sympathetic attitude really help with mental health. Also, staff have been very willing to accommodate special needs, e.g. escorts to hospital or doctor appointments. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helping at Home.

All are very approachable and professional, they really "get it" regarding the stress of looking after someone
Thank you for your lovely feedback it is very much appreciated. Thank you for choosing Helping at Home for supporting Mum.
the carers he's had are very pleasant, friendly and effecient. Sometimes they are a little late but when here do what's needed and if finished early will help me with other household jobs which I'm very grateful. It's nice to have the following weeks rota.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Were so pleased you find our carers friendly and supportive, and that the rota helps with planning. Well continue working on improving punctuality, and we truly value your kind words and appreciation.
They are always on time and they take on the tasks that I have forgotten to do.
They remind me of any tasks that I need to do and make certain that it is in my diary.
They are the best carers that I have ever had.
Thank you very much for your feedback, we are always grateful to hear how people are finding Helping at Home
The carers have been so professional and empathetic towards my dad. He wasn't happy about strangers coming into his home but he very quickly realised how fantastic they are. He calls them his angels. We as a family are also very happy with their treatment of our dad and he always takes his medication for them easily with no fuss. Thank you
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so grateful that we have been able to care for dad, he is certainly a character.
