Review from Sandra C (Daughter of Client) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have elderly parents who both have different needs. My father who is 90 and suffering with dimentia and my mother who is 87 suffering chronic arthritis. In a time when many elderly are left to fend for themselves i knew they both needed care and attention. I did my best. However looking after a family
of my own that it was time for outside for support. I chose blakewater because at the first meeting with my parents they showed compassion and understanding. They made us feel at ease and a plan was built on this
We have not looked back.

Excellent care provided by Blakewater. They arrive on time, follow instructions and show and understanding towards my brother. Its the attention to small details that make then stand out. They are great at rapport building with their clients and will recommend them to all.

Would question if staff have had any training, if so must only be minimal.
Do not show respect to clients, make derogatory comments.
Attend to clients still wearing coats.
Do not understand complexity of some clients.
Cannot recognise an unwell client.
Reply from Denny Dodds, Registered Care Manager at Blakewater Homecare Services LtdWe're saddened by this, especially after caring for your brother for over three years with calm, consistent carers who knew him well. We always tried to go the extra mile, we supported him through a house move, bringing his freezer from Church to Blackburn in a carer's own car, and reworked all our rotas to maintain continuity. We often picked up food ourselves, when shopping hadn't been sorted, and sometimes simply nipped in for a brew & a chat, because we knew he'd appreciate the company. His own feedback said he was 'always' treated with dignity and respect, and that Blakewater were "the best by far" out of the 5 other agencies he's had. We understand this review relates to his final invoice, and we respect that grief brings many feelings, but it's hard not to feel hurt when the care we gave, care we were proud of, is painted in a way that doesn't reflect the full picture. We'll miss him very much, and we hope, in time, the warmth and dignity he experienced with us will be remembered too.

Review from Sarah A (Wife of Client) published on 3 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have a regular carer who is excellent. He looks after my husband very well and takes charge whilst he is here. His carer talks to him, asks him things and has made many suggestions to improve his well-being. Also takes him out in the community which my husband really enjoys as he has been unable
to access the community since Covid and decline in health.
As a company, Blakewater Homecare Services are very good. They try very hard to deliver a caring and supportive service!

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Blakewater Homecare Services for your support with wrap-around care at home for my dad. He really appreciated your dedicated and professional attitude and your kindness. As a family, we were impressed by your passion for providing care that was client centred
and dignified as well as relaxed and thoroughly respectful. Thank you again.
