Review from Chris F (Sister of Client) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister began her care three times a day with Village Care in July. The same carer came at the agreed times every day and although my sister was apprehensive at first, she was very kind so they began to build a relationship. The carer was caring and helpful and attentive to my sister's needs. She
was efficient in doing a number of tasks and helped my sister with cooking a meal. She always confirmed the time of the next visit.
It was easy to make contact with the management team if we wanted to change any dates or times of care and they accommodated us very well.
I'm very happy with the care my sister is receiving and would recommend their services.

My Mum has been using Village care for 11 months now, we had a few teething problems at first, which was dealt with by one staff member in particular, who is an absolute Star. Only two occasions where there was a breakdown in communication between office staff and clients and carers which can be extremely
frustrating, but these issues were dealt with by a staff member very quickly. One staff member in particular has also issued my mum with 3 primary carers, these 3 ladies are brilliant, they often go above and beyond their duty of care. Also to mention, the office staff have often helped me at short notice with rota changes which I'm very grateful.

Village Care have done exactly what they said they would. Turn up regularly, spend time with my mother in law & make some of the confusion caused by dementia less of a worry for all of us. They respond in a timely manner to mails & answer the phone for more urgent enquiries when we need them to. Thank

Village Care Group are a highly conscientious company to have working alongside our specialist carer. Their visiting staff are friendly, caring and do all they can to help our daughter with her needs. They truly do care about their clients and are always watchful for any issues that may need addressing.

We have been using Village Care for around seven months to look after our father 24 hours a day in his own home. This was different to most care jobs as we also live in the same house albeit next door. The carers we have had for the last six months have been excellent! To the point they are now members
of our extended family. Father has never been looked after so well.

I had a carer for a couple of years. Her care for me was excellent. She showed absolute respect and care for all my needs. Her organisation of my flat which made it easier for me to reach food on shelves and move around as I am partially disabled. On an occasion when I fell in the night and was on the
floor all night till she came in next morning. She came in, tidied me up before calling the ambulance and my family. She acted very professional and caring. Her reassurance made me feel so much better. I am sorry to have lost her as my carer.
Reply from The Village Care Team, Care Manager at The Village Care Group Ltd

It's wonderful to hear how she went above and beyond, not just in meeting your daily needs, but also in thoughtfully organising your living space to enhance your independence and mobility. Her quick thinking and professionalism during your fall demonstrate the high standard of care we strive for at Village Care. We're especially moved by how her reassurance made you feel better during a challenging time. Creating a sense of security and comfort is at the heart of what we do, and we're glad we could provide that for you. Thank you again for your feedback.

Review from R P (Client) published on 17 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In the beginning when I started, Village care hadn't been open long and there were quite a few teething problems. On the negative side I feel that sometimes there are massive breakdowns in communication between office staff and clients and carers which can be extremely frustrating. I should only have
to ask once or twice for things and these things should be done. I shouldn't have to repeat myself over and over again. Also, if I say I don't want a certain carer for whatever reason I shouldn't then find them in the following weeks rota. I have to be honest things have improved since the new management took over. On the positive side the office staff have often helped me at short notice with rota changes and given me what I needed. Also. I now have 3 wonderful carers who often go above and beyond their duty of care to try and make my life more bearable. These ladies genuinely care about me. They are efficient. Caring and warm, friendly. I consider them my friends.
Reply from The Village Care Team, Care Manager at The Village Care Group Ltd

Dear R P, Thank you for sharing this detailed and thoughtful review. We greatly appreciate your honesty and the time you've taken to provide such comprehensive feedback. We're glad to hear that you've noticed improvements since the new management took over, particularly in our ability to accommodate short-notice rota changes. We understand the frustration caused by communication breakdowns and repeated requests, and we want to assure you that we're continuously working to enhance our internal processes to prevent such issues. We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact of your current carers. It's wonderful to know that they go above and beyond, providing not just care but also friendship and warmth. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services. Thank you for your patience during our growth, and for being a part of the Village Care family. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the highest quality care and support. Best regards, The Village Care Team

All of the carers in the team have been really good helping to look after my father and helping to take some of the caring responsibilities off my mother. There are some carers, in particular, who really stand out and who have been so kind, are so good at their job and have built a fantastic rapport
with both of my parents. Their help and support have made such a big difference but all of the carer's support is greatly appreciated.
When we have had questions or concerns with the roster these have always been addressed promptly. This week when we had an emergency care issue Village Care immediately sorted this out for me and made a stressful situation so much easier. Thank you.

The management team are very friendly and are very accommodating to the needs of an individual. This includes changes to care requirements at short notice!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was cared for, for a period of two years and towards the end of her life in December 2022 we needed two carers four times a day. At extremely short notice this care provider stepped up and pulled out all the stops to make this happen. Due to delays in hospital administration, there was a lot
of uncertainty about dates and times and arrangements needed to be flexible. Village Care were extremely helpful and agreed to change arrangements at very short notice. They did so willingly and were always polite and extremely accommodating. They never once made me feel that I was a nuisance. They bent over backwards to do everything they could to help us bring my mum home for her final weeks.
They provided consistent care never letting us down and wherever possible to have the same team of five throughout the last weeks of my mum's life. They showed such love and care for my mum and support for the whole family. Nothing was too much trouble. My mum felt loved and received high quality care.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.598 for The Village Care Group Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.598

  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
