Myself and my partner have got to know the carer that comes for 6 hours on 2 days a week. She is always calm, caring, and helps my partner by stimulating him by chatting to him, helping to prepare lunch and drinks throughout her time here. She helps him with medication, attends a gym with him and
keeps him safe whilst he is using the machines. She always goes the extra mile by doing the washing up or getting washing in if I'm out or anything else that needs doing. I feel that I can leave him safely in her care

Reply from Amber Brightman, Deputy Manager at GoodOaks Homecare - Reading and West Berks

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're so pleased to hear that you've built a strong relationship with your regular carer and that her support is making a positive difference for both you and your partner. It's lovely to hear how she brings calm, compassionate care, and goes the extra mile to provide meaningful companionship and practical help. Knowing that you feel confident leaving your partner in her care is the highest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for your kind words - we'll be sure to share them with the team.Warmest regards,GoodOaks Reading & West Berkshire Team

We found the initial introduction with the staff a pleasant and friendly interview.
One of the staff who visited as the carer was pleasant and diligent.
We would ask that this person be scheduled for each and every follow-up appointment with us for the purpose of continuity.

Being the first time accessing care in the area I found the director of Good Oaks Homecare very helpful and providing an excellent service. Five stars to another staff member who gave first-class care to our son when visiting us. Very caring all around and would recommend to anyone. We will certainly
be using them again!

Following my father's major surgery, an excellent service was provided by GoodOaks Homecare. Twice daily visits were conducted in a professional manner, caring support was given during visits and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you for the excellent service.

We're delighted that we were able to help after your father's surgery and that you'd recommend us so highly. We'll pass this feedback on to the rest of the team!

My recently widowed mother was diagnosed with Mixed Dementia and she lives alone. The previous care provider I had employed to prepare a hot meal was unable to provide a consistent slot time, this caused Mum confusion and stress. The council gave me contact details for GoodOaks Homecare and from my
first contact with them, they have been efficient, helpful and reliable. We agreed a 7 day a week visit to prepare a hot meal and to oversee medication consumption, 2 kind-hearted and well-trained carers attend to my mum over the 7-day weeks. This means Mum knows the carers well and since I have moved to GoodOaks I have been extremely pleased. I am also reassured that the level of attention from all the team I have communicated with at GoodOaks is compassionate, honest, reliable and professional. Moving Mum’s care to GoodOaks has helped me cope with a difficult situation.

Reply from Shweta Mahadik, Registered Manager at GoodOaks Homecare - Reading and West Berks

Thank you so much Paul for your kind review of our service. We are glad that we have been able to help your mum. It gives us immense satisfaction with such positive feedback.

The service we have for my mother from the manager has been remarkable from the first day she started. She is very thorough, has much patience, is very kind and caring and is now more like a friend to my mum.
The manager does more than I thought any carer would do and we couldn't do without her. Thank
you.

Reply from Shweta Mahadik, Registered Manager at GoodOaks Homecare - Reading and West Berks

Thank you so much Jane for your very kind review of our services. We very much enjoyed visiting your mother and I am glad that she found our visits caring, friendly and enjoyable. It's fantastic to hear what a positive impact our team have had on your mother's wellbeing. Thank you very much again.
