Review from Naomi R (Mother of Client) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has taken really well to his new carers. Both carers encourage him to be independent where possible. He has been on multiple activities and the carers have engaged well with him. Great communication from office staff who are friendly and make me feel at ease.

We are delighted to hear that your son has settled in well with his carers and that they are supporting his independence while engaging him in activities.

I have found all the carers to be highly professional. They show me a lot of respect, they are very helpful and cannot do enough for me.

I would certainly recommend any of my family members and friends should they require any of the services.

The service we have received has been excellent. All the staff that have been involved with the caring have been courteous, met all caring needs and very respectful of the property. The family account that is used to report every carer's visit has been invaluable to us all. We have been able to check every visit which shows that all aspects of the caring required was met.

Reply from Jane Williamson, Operations manager at Alcedo Care Blackburn

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that the service you have experienced has been excellent, and that our carers have demonstrated our values at all times.

Review from Kirsty M (Mother of Client) published on 19 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My young son has been receiving care from Alcedo Care Blackburn for a number of months now, and I couldn’t be happier. My son is also evidently happy with his carers and his time out with them. Being nonverbal, he still makes himself heard. There’s no doubt he looks forward to his carers coming. All the staff at Alcedo that I’ve personally had dealings with have been incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding. Go above and beyond. As a worrier myself (like a proper worrier), I can honestly say my worries were unfounded and completely put to rest. Another thing I’m sure some people will resonate with is the feeling of isolation. Apart from seeing my son visibly happy and content, the other biggest positive for myself is not feeling like I’m completely alone. It’s an amazing feeling knowing you have support. And Alcedo exceeds in all aspects. Completely. I couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Alcedo to anyone in need of extra care/support. They’re an amazing team.

Overall Experience
Alcedo came into the home for respite. The care received was excellent from start to finish.
Usual day-to-day care is exemplary for our family member. She needs familiarity with the same staff.

Usually waiting in bed at 7.30 am starting Monday and Wednesday, which is centre day. Every other day 8 am.

Review from Chris H (Son of Client) published on 12 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Carers are professional and reliable and very, very good when dealing with my Mum who is 90 and has vascular dementia. They are clearly well-trained and vetted. They arrive on time and, if there are exceptional reasons why they will be delayed, communications from the office are timely. Having the same carers (as far as possible) is always good when dealing with someone with dementia and this regularity and consistency is largely provided. By far the best care agency I have dealt with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Reply from Jane Williamson, Operations manager at Alcedo Care Blackburn
