We count ourselves very lucky to have found Ashbee Home Care Ltd to care for my mother-in-law. They are professional, caring and consistent in the level of care they provide which ensures that she is able to safely continue to live at home. Their communication is excellent so that the family have developed
a great relationship with the team. Consistent carers have ensured that they are able to bring things to our attention that require action, along with suggestions for good solutions. They have gone above and beyond anything we could have expected including calling for an ambulance in an emergency and staying on to see it through. I cannot speak highly enough of Ashbee. They feel like a part of our family, and would highly recommend them.

Reply from Emma Ashby, Care Manager at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Thank you for your very kind review and recommendation.


Caring for your mother in law is an absolute pleasure and we are pleased to hear you feel so happy with the service provided. It is a privilege to hear you feel that our team are part of your family.


Many thanks

Can’t speak highly enough of the care given daily to my 88-year-old mother. Their communication with family members is excellent. She is fortunate to see the same two carers daily since her care began last December and we consider ourselves very lucky to have found such a professional, caring company
that goes beyond our expectations.

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Paramedic at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Many thanks for your very kind words. It is so nice to read how happy you feel with the care provided to your mother. Our team very much look forward to seeing her every day, she is a lovely lady and a delight to be around.
Take care.

Ashbee Home Care is a service above and beyond everything that we were expecting when we needed care for my husband. They not only looked after him they also made sure I was ok while he was in hospital and at home. The family would recommend them as they have become part of us and we look forward to
them coming in. If you need some help nothing is too much trouble for them.

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Paramedic at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Thank you for your wonderful review, it is so nice to read how happy you and your husband feel with the care and support you receive from our team, who very much enjoy their visits with you both too. It has been wonderful to see how well your husband has progressed since leaving the hospital and we look forward to seeing this continue. Take care.

We began using Ashbee when the company we were using were not consistent in their care. The difference in my mother was very obvious from day one. She was a lot happier and looked forward to the visits. She was brighter and it was lovely to hear her laugh again. The team were excellent in communicating
any concerns and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a care company to look after a relative or friend.

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Paramedic at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Thank you for your very kind review. Your mother was an absolute pleasure to care for and a delight to be around.
As a team, we have many fond memories of your mother; seeing her so happy, tapping her foot and singing along when we brought the choir into her lounge, our lovely walks outside and especially her infectious laughter! Take care.

We were very very pleased with the care which we received. They were helpful, respectful and sensitive to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble. Their daily visit was a highlight of my husband's day - and mine! It was comforting to have an experienced person coming into the house which often gave
me the opportunity to have much-needed time out of the house. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. They were brilliant!

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Paramedic/Registered Manager at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Thank you Pat and family for welcoming us into your home and making our visits such a pleasure. We are so pleased you felt our visits helped to support you all as this is what we strive for as a team and very important to us - so thank you for your very kind words. Thinking of you all. Take care.

So happy to have found Ashbee Home Care, we have been using them now for over 6 months and they feel like part of the family. Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond in the support they provide for my mum, she really looks forward to their visits, they are just so kind and caring and
keep in regular contact with me. Knowing my mum is being so well cared for gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend Ashbee Home Care.

Ashbee Home Care provide domestic care services to my 85-year-old mother and because her mobility has been reduced she finds certain tasks and getting out difficult. I live 100 miles away so having a regular visit provides me with a regular update as to her well-being and is something that I value.
Communication with the company is excellent are very accessible through the company communication channels. My mother has a good relationship with her carer and of most importance, she is very satisfied with the service.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review regarding the care provided for your lovely Mum. She is a delight to work with and we know her Carer enjoys her visits just as much as your Mum does. Take care.

I would highly recommend Ashbee Home Care. They came into the hospital to introduce themselves to mum and from there they treated her with kindness and respect. My mum is a very proud lady who can be quite difficult, but the carers she had always managed to get a smile out of her and were caring and
patient with her. Nothing is too much trouble for them and not only did they care for mum, but they were also an invaluable support to me at a very difficult time.

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Paramedic at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback regarding the care provided for your Mum. It was an absolute pleasure to look after her and to hear that your Mum and you both felt well supported, is everything we hope to achieve so we are very happy you feel this way.

Such a wonderful, caring and compassionate provider of care and support, not only for my dad who has vascular dementia, but supporting my mum as well. Overall the service and support provided gives the whole family peace of mind, knowing your loved ones are being so well looked after and enabling them
to stay in their home environment which is absolutely vital. Thank you to the manager and two members of staff in particular for the professionalism, care and compassion shown to our family, which gives us confidence they are being extremely well cared for, as we live further away in Plymouth so not easy to be hands-on. Highly recommend, thank you.

Many thanks for your very kind review. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience regarding the care received and support given.

You are all a pleasure to work with and your Mum and Dad are a joy to be around. Take care.

Although only providing two hours of care per day for my elderly mother, the service the Care Manager provides is exceptional. She is relentless in her aim to optimise care, both in the time she spends with my mother and also liaising with other care and health services, to ensure that Mum's total care
package is as good as practically possible. She leaves no stone unturned in her pursuit of the best possible service for my mother. Feedback is incredibly thorough and thoughtful, she is so caring, it's as if she's one of the family.

Reply from Emma Ashby, Care Manager at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

Many thanks Paul for your very kind review. I enjoy working with your mum and I am so happy to hear you can feel reassured that she is well cared for, safe and happy. Looking after our ladies and gents as if they were our own family is something that we strive for and expect to be at the forefront of all employed carers' minds and so it is very rewarding to hear that you feel this way. It is an absolute pleasure working with you to achieve the best quality of life possible for your mum. Best wishes, Emma.

So very happy to have found such a compassionate and caring company, nothing is too much trouble. My dad has vascular dementia and the care he receives is 1st class. He really looks forward to his regular home care visits. The manager is very caring and patient and takes the utmost pride in his work,
I know if I have any questions I can give them a call. I would highly recommend this company.

Reply from Kevin Ashby, Registered Manager / Paramedic at Ashbee Home Care Ltd

What a lovely review - thank you so much. It is so rewarding to hear we are making such a positive impact and to read that you know you can always get in touch should you need to. It is also really nice to hear that your dad looks forward to our visits as much as we look forward to seeing both him, and your mum. First-class care is what we strive for, so this comment is really satisfying!
We look forward to continuing to care for your dad and offer the best quality of life for him as possible. Thank you very much for your kind words. Best wishes.

Ashbee Home Care began caring for a close friend of mine, who has no local family to support her. We felt at ease with this company as soon as we met them. They came across as kind, caring and a genuine passion about providing good care. I have to say, they have not only lived up to this, but exceeded
our expectations. They have turned my friend's life around for the better. She now feels safe living at home, and has a much better quality of life. I cannot recommend Ashbee Home Care highly enough and feel very lucky to have found such kind and professional team. Thank you Ashbee Home Care!
