Overall Experience

It was a good day when we chose Compassion First for home care needs. Carers are patient, caring and kind - we would not want to be without them. Our loved one has dementia, and I recently witnessed a carer asking him the same question four or five times without a hint of impatience. We have confidence that if there were a problem, it would be discussed and dealt with. We would highly recommend Compassion First Home Care.

Reply from Brandon Shiels, Managing Director at Compassion First Home Care

What a wonderful review, thank you so much! Our carers love what they do and clearly that has shown through in their support for your husband. We're so glad to hear how happy you are with our care services, we look forward to continuing to support your husband at home.

Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough of the care and support given to my mother by Compassion First. From the very first meeting, I felt assured of their professionalism and genuine desire to give my mother the best care possible in her own home, taking full account of her needs and treating her with the utmost respect as an individual. Her care team were amazing and very soon gained her confidence, so much so that she began to refer to the carers as her friends. The manager and team often went above and beyond, arranging collection of repeat medications and even visiting her in Hospital after a fall. I felt totally reassured that they were giving her the best care possible. I can highly recommend Compassion First for their excellent service.

Compassion First stepped in when we were really struggling to find a care package for my Dad after he had been in hospital. They have been brilliant at looking after my Dad. The staff are very helpful and caring. The service is always excellent and very reliable. The communication is great. Brandon and the team have gone above and beyond in helping to organise outings for my Dad. Would highly recommend!

We started using Compassion First to provide daily short duration home visits. We appreciated the flexibility in planning these. Over time as mums health worsened we relied more heavily on Maxine and her colleagues to provide increased levels of support including 24/7 care towards the end. We were extremely impressed and grateful for the professionalism and respect shown throughout. Thank you again

Compassion First have been supporting my husband's recovery since December 2024 and made their final visit today. They have been with us throughout a traumatic and stressful time and contributed much to his progress with both professionalism, kindness, and a sense of humour! Nothing has been too much trouble and we shall miss them, but are safe in the knowledge that, should circumstances change, we would not hesitate to call 'help' once again...

Review from Helen B (Friend of Client) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I write simply as a neighbour of the people involved- I got to know them after a fall hospitalised one of the brothers, leaving the other at home.
I cant begin to express properly just how impressed I am with everyone involved from the care company- their compassion is off the scale, helping out and advocating far beyond what was expected.
If I had a loved one in need of daily help, hand on heart, there is NO OTHER provider I would contemplate. They went above and beyond (and still are) to ensure continuity of care, to advocate when relatives didn't bother- to visit in hospital (it isn't close by either) and buy things that were needed when no family member bothered to, to keep those living close by informed of what's going on so that the people who care can help out. This is what care looks like. This us truly compassion demonstrated by actions.

To all those involved- thank you. I know they will never know how much you've done for them- but I do and I'm so grateful. Thank you. Xx

Cannot fault Compassion First Homecare, whole experience was first class! From the day the care plan was developed to the weekly visits mom received, did not have a single problem or concern. The carer was always very kind and caring and made sure mom had everything she needed during the visits. All processes from changing the odd time of visit to paying invoices were simple and efficient and if mom needs any support going forwards we wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you all

My mother has been receiving care from Compassion first home care since the New year and I can honestly say we've seen her confidence grow to go out for a walk, play games, and to hear the fun they have together.
We have regular carer which again is so good for mum as they now have an amazing bond.

I would highly recommend them.

Overall Experience

We first engaged Compassion First Home Care in November 2024 for my father who was post operative following surgery for diabetes complications. He and my mum are in an independent retirement community building and when I asked other residents and staff for recommendations, Compassion First overwhelmingly were suggested. My Dad was resistant (stubborn and proud) at first but very quickly accepted the help from all staff and always referred to them as patient, kind and understanding. They helped him shower and get dressed, sometimes made breakfast or a coffee for him, helped mum with ironing, changing sheets....whatever was needed to help them get started on their day. When needs increased, Compassion First were there to add additional shifts and couldn't have been more supportive. We all highly recommend the services of Compassion First Home Care.

Thank you so much for your kind review.

Overall Experience

Compassion First Home Care was a beacon of light at an emotional time when our family needed urgent support. Our request was actioned with immediate effect and a care plan was set up within hours. In the following weeks, the process was seamless and requests were considered efficiently. A special mention needs to be reserved for the carers who quickly created a professional but affectionate bond with my father. They made every situation achievable and the human connection was everything. In short, Compassion First Home Care provided impeccable support during a dark time and I recommend them all without hesitation.

At Compassion First Home Care, it's our priority to provide compassionate support and create meaningful connections with every customer and those within their support network, and we're so glad we could do that for your family.

Overall Experience
Having used other care providers, Compassion First Home Care are a breath of fresh air.
My mother has dementia and has always wished to stay at home. Compassion First carers have definitely now made this possible.
My mother says that 'it is like having friends come to visit three times a day' and 'they (the carers) are fantastic'.
My mother is now happy and contented and much less anxious.
I am very happy to recommend Compassion First Home Care, I feel like a burden has been lifted as I have every confidence that they are providing an excellent care service.

Thank you to everyone at Compassion First Home Care, you are doing an amazing job.

Overall Experience
Two particular members of staff and the entire Compassion First team have been excellent. Over a near year-long period they have provided excellent care to my elderly mother who, whilst suffering with dementia, was determined to live independently for as long as possible. They made all of this possible.
From our first meetings, the managing director was very clear about the care packages that Compassion First could provide. We found the team to be available for advice whenever needed, flexible, and reactive to changing situations. It was tremendously reassuring to have them involved; they provided great peace of mind as well as excellent levels of care.

Many thanks to the team; Compassion First comes highly recommended.
