Review from Cully W (Daughter of Client) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Outstanding service.
My dear dad was on palliative care end of life, and over the 14 weeks that we had the carers they were all outstanding, showing empathy, compassion, care.
And as a family it was a great comfort knowing dad would be able to live out his last days, with round the clock care.
All the carers where so nice to us all, very friendly easy to get along with, personally thanks go to 3 staff members in particular.
Sadly dad passed away on the 6th December, but knowing that we could all be there with him and if we needed a break, the carer was there too, it was great comfort.

Would highly recommend.

Our Dad was having end-of-life care by three members of staff. My Dad felt safe and looked after. The team made a very upsetting time very special. Dad was so well looked after, the team is amazing, caring, and very special. We feel very privileged that they were able to look after our wonderful Dad in his last days. Thank you.

Overall Experience
We have had a lovely lady in particular sent to us to take care of my father who was terminally ill with cancer.
She did an excellent job looking after him and being there when we needed her. She was friendly and professional and knew who to call and where to ask for help.
It made our life in these hard times so much easier.
We had another lady too with is giving a helping hand to his main carer, and again just compliments to both of them.
I would recommend her to anybody who is in the same situation as we have been.

Thank you so much for the care company who has such good employees and who helped us.

Review from Helen A (Daughter of Client) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother had a live-in carer for six months and I was impressed with the care she received. She was treated with dignity and respect and was assisted to be as independent as possible. The carers who came over that six-month period were friendly, diligent and kind and enabled my mother to remain in her own home as she always wished. They were interested in her life, encouraged her to continue playing the piano and listen to classical music on the radio, helped her do baking and looked at old photos of her younger years with her. It was reassuring to me and my family that she was in good hands.

Overall Experience
We have had the care for my mother-in-law in place for 10 days. In those 10 days the care was outstanding in every way. From mouth care to foot care and everything else in between.
She was treated with the highest respect, privacy and dignity. The care was tender, not rushed, every need was met 100% of the time.
The live-in carers were so respectful of the home, they made it feel lived again, kept it clean and fresh.
In 42 years as a registered nurse, I've never known such exceptional care to be given and attention paid to detail. These 2 members of the City on the Hill care showed they chose the role of caring as a vocation not a job and this shone through in everything they did, from talking to and caring for their client, but also how they treated us as relatives.

Words can't express how much it meant to us to have such caring, compassionate supportive people caring for my husband's mum. Thank you.

Review from A G (Son of Client) published on 25 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been hugely impressed by the care provided by City On A Hill. Engaged at short notice to provide palliative care for my mother in what turned out to be her final two weeks, the quality of service was simply outstanding.

Our live-in carer was both professional and kind and went above and beyond, especially in her support at the hour of greatest need. The same is true of the drop-in carer and those who substituted when needed. More than this, we were guided through a difficult process by the highly caring management of the agency and, having been sceptical of the very idea of having a live-in carer, have found ourselves now sad to say goodbye to them. Thank you to City On A Hill for your humanity and dedication in my mum’s final days. We will not forget how you eased her suffering - and also supported us.

Review from Russell G (Son of Client) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

City On A Hill Care were the carers provided through our local NHS. They were to provide care to our mum after she was discharged from hospital with the news that she only had months to live. The care was outstanding. Mum wasn’t someone who normally liked her space to be invaded. She was very independently minded. But the carers were brilliant. They knew when to give her her space and when to be company. We found all the carers to be very courteous and tidy around Mum's home, to be very understanding of her needs and to very helpful at all times. They were lovely people and we really appreciate the level of care that they gave Mum in her last months.

Review from Kurt B (Son of Client) published on 31 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our mother required a 24-hour live-in palliative care with additional support 3 x a day.
The level of genuine care and support by the care staff was second to none. They were parachuted into an extremely challenging set of circumstances that were constantly evolving. Yet they remained caring, professional, and calm when friends and family were struggling to process what was going on.
In the 6 weeks they looked after our mother they did a marvellous job and genuinely improved the quality of Mum's life in her final weeks.

Angels without wings.

Review from Hilary G (Wife of Client) published on 13 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In the beginning, I was slightly dubious about having a carer living in the house. How wrong I was! Although she had trouble joining us due to transport strikes, her manager was in touch to ease the situation.
My husband's carer was all one could hope for. She was excellent, with good ideas for his care, professional, friendly, calm and kind. She was concerned to help us cope with my husband's terminal condition and she succeeded so that we were able to keep him at home. She also taught us how to do more to keep my husband comfy when she was off-duty. She also worked well with other professionals - the community nurses and GPs.

Her colleague who joined her 3 times a day, was also a lovely helpful lady. Both are excellent at their jobs and easy to have in our family.

My husband has received excellent care from each carer sent and has been treated with kindness and compassion.
They have become members of our family each time.

We have had carers now for over six weeks and have experienced no problems with each change over every two weeks.

Review from Debbie B (Granddaughter of Client) published on 17 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have carers 3 nights a week and this has given us rest and confidence in our nan being safe during the night. The carers are friendly, helpful and professional, with there being 2/3 regular ladies that know the family and our nan well and keep consistency. Communication has always been good. Very happy with City On A Hill Care.

Carers were very professional, knowledgeable and genuinely cared and had a good and trusting relationship with me Mum. Wasn’t sure me Mum would be open to having a carer but her fears were quelled after a short time. Very pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much to City On A Hill Care!

We had three live-in carers over the month that my father was at home and all of them were caring, respectful of his wishes and kind. He never wanted any fuss, but they were always there when my dad needed food/drink or clearing up.
