Alcedo Care Preston has been a great find after a very bad experience with another agency. Alcedo Care provides a great source of support and encouragement to my husband who has lived with head trauma/Alzheimer’s from the age of 59. A great match with the carer who has had a great rapport from day one. My husband waits at the window for him to arrive and might I add - has always been punctual. As soon as he arrives my husband immediately goes out to see him and I can switch off and have some time to myself knowing that he is in safe hands and he’ll have a great time going out to do sporting activities (as Covid allows), walks and reminiscence work. Engaging professionally, sensitively and caring throughout. The staff at Alcedo Care have visited to go through and create an appropriate care plan along with risk assessments. If I make contact with the Alcedo Care office they are very quick and react to any changes and additional support as required. I am extremely satisfied with Alcedo Care Preston.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we are so happy you are finding so much comfort and trust in the support you receive. I will pass your kind words on to the team.
So far I am very impressed with the care given to my father. The staff are very clean and caring (having had an experience of poor care providers in the past as my husband has Parkinson’s and dementia).

Now my care needs are very complex and I require two carers every day from 7 am to 2 pm and then one carer until 6 pm. This is a long day in itself, but times that by six and the request for a single person with the personality and abilities to fit into a dynamic family-based care situation for a young(ish) quadriplegic male that needed help with everything, you are probably thinking they couldn't fulfil the request.
Well, I can honestly say that we are into our 3rd week of service with a hospital stay slotted in there too boot, and I can not thank the team enough for all their help.
My Alcedo agency carer is amazing, and I can honestly say that if she didn't already work for Alcedo, I would snap her up in a heartbeat. She and the team are amazing. I would write more but can't.
Thank you Anthony, what a lovely review. I am so happy we have fulfilled your expectations.
The carers who come are reliable, kind and extremely helpful.
It is reassuring to know that my mother readily accepts them and also likes them very much.
