Review from Michael B (Brother of Client) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The ladies gave exceptional tenderness to my sister in law during her end of life care.
They attended promptly daily to give their loving support. Every care was given to meet the needs of the patient in a kind & supportive way.

The live in night carer was exceptional & went beyond the call of duty & helped with extra hours in the daytime when off duty.

When dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer we was skeptical about having careres in our home but City on a Hill from the very first meeting put our minds at ease. The care and compassion they showed us was exceptional. We would not of been able to fulfill dads wish to be at home for his final weeks without them. I cannot recommend and thank them enough, especially Ann and Maureen.

Cheerful and helpful carers. I looked forward to them coming each day. I can't describe the pressure it took away from me. I could not have got through the last 3 months without their care and support. It allowed me to keep my husband, which is where we both wanted him to be.

Review from Christopher S (Son of Client) published on 23 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

On recieving the horrific news that my 91 year old mother only had 3 months left to live, I and all of my family were soooo apprehensive on what care she was going to get from not only her live in carer she was allocated but from the carers also popping in 3 or 4 times a day. We've all seen over the years the much publicised bad carers and some awful things they had done, but our fears soon disappeared on meeting all of my mums carers. I can honestly say I couldn't of wished for more polite, hard working caring people, we loved every single one of them who came to help my mother. All of the carers brought great comfort to my mother in her last 3 months, singing and dancing at times with her to Christian music and praying with her, especially as she was such a strong Christian herself. All I can say is Thank God my mother was sent her Angels to help her pass peacefully and as comfortably as possible, and not fearing passing away. Thank you ALL, I will always count you as my FRIENDS !!!

This care team took over 24 hour care from another care team as our Mums care needs changed drastically. They were kind, caring and trustworthy. They helped with personal care, medication also hospice doctor consultations in home. They communicated excellently about needing more meds more meals etc. They supported our mum whilst we weren't there but also supported us. They are completely professional but on a level that you feel supported with a friendly feeling. They cleaned our mums house before she had to go into a care home. We will be forever grateful for all they have done for our family. The managers were kind and friendly with access to the carers notes and support towards our family

Review from John I (Nephew of Client) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my uncle was discharged from hospital, he was keen that he should go back to his home and stay there. This was achieved until he died about a month later. NHS Continuing Healthcare contracted City on a Hill Care to provide a live-in carer with supplementary daytime care: the highest level of care they could provide at home. For most of this time, one individual was there for him for at least 22 hours a day. Although I was not local, we kept in regular contact. It was clear that she and my uncle bonded very quickly, and she was very caring and attentive to his needs, to the extent that I was worried about whether she would be able to maintain the pace. With the resources we had available, we managed to navigate the challenges that came up, and I believe we couldn't have done it without her. My uncle got his wish, and managed to stay at home until the end, and for that I am forever grateful.

Reply from Ehinomen E, Service Lead at City On A Hill Care

We are pleased that we could provide your uncle with care that enabled him to achieve his wish to be at home. We always aim to be as attentive as possible to the needs of our clients and this time was no different.

Overall Experience

We would like to thank you all for the care and compassion you showed our mum while she was having palliative care. Everyone was friendly and polite and couldn't do enough for us, our only criticism which is very minor is that not everyone wore the uniform or company fleece so if it was somebody you hadn't met before it was hard to tell if they were a genuine member of staff. Apart from this we can't fault the care you gave our mum under difficult circumstances

Reply from Ehinomen E, Registered Service Lead at City On A Hill Care

Thank you for your kind words and for pointing out about the uniform. We shall take this on board. It was our delight to be of help at such a difficult period.

The ladies that care for my dad, treat him as if he was their own father. They have great respect and are kind to him beyond words.
They go above and beyond what we would expect, giving full care with dignity and quietness.
They have lifted so much stress off my shoulders, as they just deal with everything related to dad's care, including ringing the doctors, social care, pharmacy etc.
They prepare home cooked food, do his washing and drying and are very trustworthy.

I wouldn't want any better care for my dad.

The care provided to my father by his regular carer was nothing short of fantastic. Her attention to his needs and medication requirements was excellent, we could not have asked for any more vigilance by a carer.
My father very much appreciated all the care he was given and the wider family included her as one of the family.

The substitute carers were all brilliant too and always appeared happy in their work.
