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.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. 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. Ensuring a person-centred approach is at the heart of what we do...
So far everything has been fab, the carers have been very nice. The office staff have been very helpful and they were amazing at setting things up for us!
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you've had a positive experience with our carers and office team. Providing excellent care and support from the very start is our priority and it's wonderful to know we've met your expectations. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your feedback!
My son feels comfortable with some members of staff. Always happy when he is with one particular man. I feel like the office communicates well with me, if I've had a problem there is always someone there.
Thank you for your feedback! We are so pleased to hear that your son feels comfortable with our team, especially with a particular member of staff. Building strong, trusting relationships is at the heart of what we do. It's also great to know that our office team has been responsive and supportive...
I would certainly recommend any of my family members and friends should they require any of the services.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you find our carers to be professional, respectful, and helpful. It's our goal to ensure that you receive the best possible care, and your recommendation means a lot to us. We truly appreciate your trust and support, and we're here for you whenever needed.
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.
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. We pay our staff significantly above market rates as we value their skills and experience and believe that this should be recognised...
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.
We are delighted to receive your review and glowing feedback for our team. We are delighted to hear what a massive positive difference we have been able to make for you and your family. It is our privilege to support you. Thank you so much for the recommendation, we will share your kind words with our amazing team!
My carers are great, very helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate your feedback. We are delighted to hear that our carers are so helpful. We pride ourselves with going over and above for all our clients. We will share your kind words with our amazing team. Thanks again for sharing your experience. It's our pleasure to support you.
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.
Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate your feedback. We are delighted to hear that the care your family member receives is excellent and consistent. Our team works hard to ensure our teams are consistent and provide quality care at all times.
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.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. Our team work hard to ensure a consistent and well trained team, that know each of our client's well and are able to provide the best possible personalised care. Thank you for the recommendation!
The staff are wonderful and so caring, never had to worry when it was home time, as I knew he'd be looked after so well. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your feedback, we are really pleased that you are delighted with the standards of care received by your family member.
I am really happy with the care received from the carers towards my mum. She has fantastic carers who always go above and beyond. The office team are lovely and always helpful and listens. Five-star care!
Thank you for sharing your experience of excellent care from our team at Alcedo Care Blackburn. We are really pleased to hear that our fantastic carers 'go over and above' to provide a truly five-star experience.
Five stars all around from me and my family. From day one all the staff at Alcedo Care have been very caring, patient and will go above and beyond, the care my nan has received and continues to receive is absolutely amazing. I know she's in very good hands. The standards at Alcedo are very high, everyone I've met has been amazing and very passionate. I would definitely recommend them if anyone is looking for a care service!
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate this. Thank you for the recommendation!
Alcedo Care has fantastic standards and staff that are willing to go the extra mile. As a family, it provides us with great comfort to know that my great grandma is safe and content. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a care service.
Thank you for the fantastic feedback. We are delighted to hear that our staff go 'over and above' and that you highly recommend our service.
The staff here are amazing, they go above and beyond for my grandad. Staff are very patient and present themselves as very caring towards residents. The level of care provided is top-class! I would definitely recommend Alcedo Care.
Thank you for your kind words about our service. We are delighted to hear such fantastic feedback from you about our carers and service.
Alcedo Care Blackburn is excellent overall from carers to office staff. They have looked after my sister for quite a while now and she is happy and as a family, we know she is safe and we are extremely grateful for their support.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear about the excellent service from all our team members.
I have only been with Alcedo Care for a few months, I am pleased with the service that I have received. The carer that I now have is very polite and caring even though there is an age difference between us we still find things to talk about. The office staff are always willing and helpful.
Thank you for the overall five-star rating. We would be more than happy to have a chat with you about any area that you think we can also improve.
Amazing staff and managers. Nothing was too much trouble for my aunty. She is well cared for and looked after. The care she receives is always amazing. I'm glad she is in good hands and getting the attention and care. A massive thank you to you all for all you do.
Thank you, Sara, for your review. We are glad you are happy with the care/service provided.
I just wanted to express my gratitude to this service for making such a difference in my husband's life, his final months were surrounded by joy, happiness and love and warmth from the carers. My husband was always so happy to see his carers and I appreciate all their support to us as a family even after his passing. Such warm and kind-hearted people.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and we wish you and your family all the best.
Lovely friendly carers. My friend was delighted with the care they provided. She was very worried about letting strangers into her home and being physically helped but her fears soon disappeared. Very professional company and highly recommended.
Thank you for your five-star rating. We really appreciate you sharing your friend's experience with our service.
Hear a lot of nightmare stories coming from care homes and saw this for my grandparents but happy that it's not the case this time round.
