Having Silver Assist for my husband has given me peace of mind for the hours that he has constant companionship. We both look forward to the visit, and appreciate all that they do. My husband has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia the level of understanding and kindness given by Silver Assist is second
to none. Thank you.

Talk about life changing, we have been fortunate to have been with Silver Assist for 9 months. The standard of communication, knowledge, support and kindness go over and above expectations.
The pyramid effect from the management down has been amazing during difficult circumstances.
The carers are
freinds visiting as Mum believes she doesn't need help, unaware of her memory loss through Altzheimers and vascular dementia.
I couldn't praise our team highly enough with their attention to detail, knowing the small signs that are signals to Mums needs at that moment.

I came out of hospital unable to cope with my personal and most household issues. I have three care sessions per week and it is a game changer for me. I am always clean and tidy and well-dressed. The carer helps with a bit of food preparation and makes my bed and would do anything that I need help
with. This service is the best thing to happen in our area.

Always pleasant, friednly and efficient. Without breaching the bonds of mutual respect. The management has an almost magical ability to sum up professional medical support, home visits from doctors and recently a thorough 50-minute examination and consultation with a helpful doctor in the surgery, unheard
of in my experience. I am very grateful and impressed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Silver Assist have been visiting my elderly mother who has dementia since December 2024 to provide companionship, shopping and assistance with meal preparation. The manager visited my mother to talk to her about her interests and what she liked to do and matched her with 2 carers. So far it seems to
be a perfect match - it's good that mum knows 2 carers that can cover for each other for illness and holidays. As a family, we are very pleased with the service provided by Silver Assist. The app is great.
Silver Assist also provided exemplary care for my elderly father for several months in 2023 - this was a very different type of care as my father had limited mobility and many health issues as well as dementia - Silver Assist carers helped him with getting up and dressed, washing and showering as well as an evening bedtime visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whilst we have only been using Silver Assist for a couple of months, to care at weekends for my mum (100 ) and my Dad ( 96) we have been exceptionally impressed by their professionalism. We already had a weekly carer for mum and dad but I was anxious to ensure cover for the weekends. The advice we
received from the manager and her team was excellant and I was impressed by the smoothness of the administration and the friendly support we received when setting things up including visits which involved mum and dad to assess their needs and preferences. The carer is experienced and has settled down quickly and mum and dad have really taken to him and seem at ease. The response times to queries has been first rate, on what we have experienced so far I would recommend them as first rate care providers who go the extra mile to support their clients and their families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has Alzheimers and We were recommended to try Silver Assist by the warden at the flats Mum lives in.
I contacted the manager, who along with her team has been brilliant. Initially we just had 2 afternoons a week companionship, this soon had to rise to 7 mornings a week but it is never too much
trouble to change things around.
The ladies who form Mums care team are wonderful and Mum has become very fond of them, visits are still mainly companionship but with SilverAssist having responsibility for some of Mums medication daily and prompting her to take the rest.
There has even been a couple of occasions when Mum has had a particularly bad day (I am 300 miles away) and an off the cuff visit to support has been arranged
The difference the manager and her team have made to Mum (and my peace of mind) is enormous and I cant thank them enough.

Outstanding care that is holistic and extremely well organised. I feel that the staff make the time to get to know not just the client but the family as well. We have a really supportive team around us who give my grandmother the best care. They support us in making sure she is comfortable and safe
in her own home, and most importantly allowing her to maintain her independence.

I've been really happy with the level of care that Mum's received since she started using Silver Assist. We are all new to receiving support from a homecare provider and I was initially unsure of how to source the right level of support and how it would help. However, the initial set-up was very simple
and Mum has a lovely support worker who helps in the kitchen and takes her out, as well as providing companionship.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are absolutely delighted with Silver Assist.
From beginning to end Sam and the team have been outstanding, we feel so lucky to have found them.
Assessing my mother/father's needs was conducted via an initial visit. Followed by a subsequent meet-the-carer session, which then led to a very comfortable
transition to regular carer visits. The whole process was very simple and communicative.
We now have regular carer visits and this is working absolutely perfectly for us. Thank you to the manager and the team.

From the first introduction meeting, Silver Assist listened to everything that we had to share about Dad. Once the care plan was in place, the first month there was a lot of communication, and this communication has continued to a high level since the start date. All staff and management are very conscientious
and both parties we feel very well for the needs of Dad as a priority.

My experience with Silver Assist has been outstanding in every respect from management advice to the very personal care given to my father.
The personnel go over and above to ensure the best possible outcomes for their clients. This includes those they care for and the support given to family members.
Communication between the company and the client is exceptional. Even with a couple of months, it felt like an extended family where my father was listened to and valued.

I have found all the carers at Silver Assist to be professional, caring, and friendly. I would say they go beyond what is expected of them and provide a very personal service. They have been visiting my Mother for quite a few months now and the more they get to know her they provide those little touches
with things they know she likes. She enjoys their company and likes all of them.
The manager and all of the staff are very accommodating.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.987 for Silver Assist Homecare is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.987

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Silver Assist Homecare is based on 26 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

Hi, my name is Sam and I started Silver Assist back in 2023 because we recognised there was little to no care available to people living in rural communities, and we believe everyone should have the choice to retain their independence and quality of life in their own home.


I started my career in care 16 years ago and haven't looked back since! Silver Assist was built on a foundation of compassion, professionalism and transparency and this remains one of our priorities as we continue to grow.


We were delighted to be recognised by homecare.co.uk as one of the top care providers in Wales for 2024 and receive an "Outstanding" rating by the CIW in February 2024.


Should you wish to find out more information about our service, you can call us or email us and one of our friendly team will be happy to help.
