We have been using the services of Plan With Care / Agota for around a year now and we have been very happy with the service. Agota is fantastic at keeping in touch with us and the care home, and having another person 'on board' with Dad's care and well being has been invaluable. To be a close relative of someone who is going through difficult and complex cognitive and physical changes can be very hard to cope with, so the extra support we have found in the Plan With Care team has been invaluable. Knowing that someone familiar to Dad will be visiting him regularly and allowing him to enjoy some personal 1:1 time has really alleviated the pressure we have sometimes felt. Companionship is so important in a persons life and we have found that the companion for Dad has been a quiet, reassuring presence in his life.

My mother has recently started receiving support from Thrive Home Care, and our experience has been extremely positive. Mum is 95 and living with dementia. She lives alone and has always been fiercely independent, with little awareness of her need for support. My brother and I do our best, but additional help became necessary. As she would never agree to full-time care, we are committed to helping her remain at home. We introduced Emma as a "cleaner" to help Mum accept support. In reality, she is a highly experienced carer specialising in dementia. From the first meeting, Emma built a natural rapport with Mum, which was incredibly reassuring. Emma currently visits once a week, with plans to increase support over time. Although the initial "white lie" felt difficult, it has enabled Mum to stay safe and happy in her own home.
After two weeks, everything is going very well. I would happily recommend Thrive to anyone in a similar situation.

We understand how important it is for someone to remain in the place they know and love, especially when maintaining independence matters so much. It is wonderful to hear that Emma has built such a natural connection with your mum. Strong relationships and trust sit at the heart of everything we do, so it is lovely to see that reflected in your experience.

From the moment I met my consultant, Agota, I felt very at ease and comfortable. She explained everything clearly and helped me understand how she could support me. I felt confident that she could meet my needs and that we would work well together as a team. I live with ADHD and depression and receive four hours of companionship each week to increase my social interaction and support my mental health. I love spending time outdoors, and we go out on every visit, which is something I really enjoy. I always feel in control of how we spend our time together. I also receive support to keep my flat clean and tidy, and my companion helps me with shopping trips and attending medical appointments. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in a similar situation to mine.

Throughout all the time the care and assistant wellbeing consultant from this agency has visited and supported my friend, she couldn't possibly have done any more for him. She totally understood his needs and how best to support and advise him. She continually went over and above any expectations and he felt himself extremely fortunate to have the continuing relationship with her. They became friends and he derived so much comfort from her visits, sharing parts of their experiences and lives, and jokes and worries. She stayed with him until the end. The organisation fully understood him and, not only the care and assistant wellbeing consultant, but the whole organisation offered kindness, support and respect.
I absolutely cannot fault the brilliant care provided by this organisation.

I was recommended this care provider by my solicitor. My wife is suffering from Dementia, and as her carer, I need additional services that are not provided by the Local Authority such as house cleaning, washing and ironing, running errands and shopping as I have my own health problems.
After an in-depth meeting to assess my needs, the care provider promptly provided me with a lovely helpful local lady who is excellent and could not wish for better. In addition, the Company is planning ahead for when the time comes that I need care myself.
I recommend this care provider to anyone who is in a similar situation as myself.

My mother has vascular dementia and her care is managed by this care provider. I had a general review call today. Mum is in excellent general health and our family put this down mainly to the wonderful and compassionate care provided by her two carers. She is constantly stimulated with photo books, and various activities including singing, sensory activities, outside visits, television etc. We are thoroughly happy with the service we receive from the care provider and doubt mum would receive better care from any other provider.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. It's been such a pleasure getting to know your mother's cheeky personality over the years - which photos make her beam, which songs make her tut and roll her eyes with a twinkle, and always such fun with the family and dog outings. Long may the adventures continue!
