We are extremely happy with the service the team provide. They are caring, efficient, reliable and friendly and have made a huge difference to mum's life, enabling her to stay in her much-loved home. From the initial assessment visit, when a series of referrals to relevant agencies were put in place through to the daily care and communication provided by the team, we have been very impressed. In mum's words, "I can't fault them. They are all lovely" Thank you.
From our initial meeting, we felt completely at ease, knowing that my mother would be in capable hands. The manager meticulously guided us through every step of the process, explaining everything in such detail that there were no surprises, which we greatly appreciated.
The carers who looked after my mother were consistently cheerful, warm, and incredibly kind. They always knew exactly what to do and treated my mother with the utmost kindness, respect, and dignity. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, which made a significant difference.
While we are now in the difficult position of needing to find a full-time care option for my mother, I would wholeheartedly recommend the manager and her team based on our wonderful experience.
Thank you for your review of Independence at Home Limited, it was a pleasure caring for your mother, We will pass on your kind feedback to the care team.
The management team were always happy to meet to discuss any problems and offer advise on things that could help during the visits.
The carers that visited always showed compasion to my mom and supported my dad.
Thanks for everything you did to help the family.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our services, we really appreciate your feedback. We will pass on your feedback to the care team.
All the girls are very nice and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend them to anyone that needed care.
The service of independence at home has been nothing short of amazing since the start. Our initial consultation with the manager was brilliant and you could tell that providing the care for my nan is something that she profoundly believes in. Since we started having carers with them, my nan has always said how kind they are and how caring they are in nature. As a grandson who's close to his nan, I'm happy that the care being provided is appreciated by my nan too. Couldn't recommend them more.
Independence At Home are a small team which means you get a much more personal service. The staff are all so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They treat mom with dignity and respect and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
We employed Independence at home to replace mom's previous carers who were not providing us with the service we had hoped for and I can honestly say it's the best decision we made. All the staff are lovely. They are very attentive to Mom and her needs and, obviously, very experienced. They keep us well informed of anything affecting mom and involve us in all decision making. They have taken all of the worry out of our situation when we can't be with mom ourselves throughout the day. The Manager is very professional and her experience is obvious and very reassuring. She is also very responsive. Thank you Independence at home!
Thank you for your review, it's a pleasure to provide support to your mom.
We are very happy with the care provided for my mother-in-law, who is sometimes under difficult circumstances. The manager is easily contactable and listens to our concerns. The carers are sympathetic and understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service, your feedback is much appreciated.
Absolutely fantastic care. All carers had full respect, sympathy and kind and would always go above and beyond. So grateful for the level of care. Each and every carer was just amazing. The manager dealt with everything so kindly and professionally. This is what we needed and it definitely was delivered at a superb and professional manner. Massive thank you
Thank you so much for reviewing our service, it was a pleasure!
The carers do a fantastic job for me and my husband. Very polite and professional. They have been a big help, especially with me before and after I came out of hospital. Fantastic ladies!
All the team are very friendly and supportive of Mom's care needs. Management are always responsive and adapts to any changes to the care routine that are required. Peace of mind knowing Mom is well cared for in her own home.
Thank you for taking the time to review our services
Independence at Home have provided excellent care for my mother over the last 5 years. Nothing is too much trouble, the girls are polite, kind and caring. They get on with the job with a minimum of fuss. Any issues are communicated quickly and solutions are discussed. The Manager has a wealth of experience which shows in how she manages my mother’s care and the company. I have recommended the company to many families as they have been the best carers my mother has had.
Thank you for taking the time to review our services. We appreciate your feedback.
My aunt has been receiving care from the manager and her team since early 2023. I have found all the staff to be extremely professional, compassionate and caring, often going above and beyond to ensure the safety and comfort of my aunt. I recommend Independence at Home to anyone looking for help for a loved one. It can be a very worrying time, however, the manager and the team have made the transition as smooth as possible and have provided excellent care.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. And thank you for your kind words, it is a pleasure and privilege to care for your aunt.
I have found all the staff to be compassionate and very caring. Mom has responded well to all the help they have offered her. I find they listen to and acknowledge how Mom is feeling and adapt how they help her day to day. I can't praise them enough for taking some of the worry off my shoulders by listening to both myself and Mom, caring for us both and when a problem arises, putting management and staff heads together and solving it.
It is a pleasure to provide services to your mother.
My 90-year-old dad received such excellent care from Independence at home carers. I felt at ease knowing that my dad was in good hands and would be looked after properly, especially after having bad experiences with other care companies. The carers were friendly, professional, caring and treated my dad with kindness and respect. My dad talked highly of them. I would highly recommend this company.
It was always a pleasure caring for your dad.
My husband receives care from Independence at home. They have always treated him with dignity and respect. We are happy with the services that we receive, the ladies are all friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend it to others.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
From the start of home care, the manager and her girls have ensured Mom's care has been treated with dignity, respect, compassion and care. Mom is regularly given choices during her calls, and the girls have developed a natural professional rapport with Mom, myself and my sister. Any issues, such as call times, have been dealt with professionally and courteously. I would have no hesitation in recommending Independence at home to anyone wishing to seek home care for family and friends.
Thank you for your feedback, we are happy you are pleased with the services we provide.
Excellent at every level and in every way. I'm happy to recommend Independence at home without reservation.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
More recently, they provided exemplary end of life care, when they all worked round the clock tirelessly. Quite simply, we could not have managed without them.
Thank you for taking the time to review our services. It's been an absolute pleasure.
Independence at Home have been a great support to my 96 year-old aunt (and to the whole family) over the past year. Without this support (of four visits a day), it simply would not have been possible for my aunt to continue living independently in her own home. All the team members are professional and punctual. At the same time, they are very caring and friendly. The Independence at Home team has looked after my aunt very well at times of illness and when she's suffered falls. Additional care has been arranged quickly and at short notice when it has been needed. We are very grateful for the care that is provided and for the managers experienced leadership.
Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to review our services.
