I would like to thank the full team at Brisca for their help and support with my mams caring recently. Since they started to assist they have been courteous and couldn't be any more helpful. The full team are absolutely fantastic and that includes the office staff that sometimes people forget about. I get calls regularly if anything needs ordering from the doctors etc. my parents love to see the carers each day as they are great at helping. Thank you for your support.

She had complex care needs and the care that she received in the whole of that time was excellent.
Staff always treated her with the utmost didnity and respect. There was genuine affection and friendship shown to mam which she very much appreciated.
The last couple of weeks of mams life were particulary hard for mam and for us and to see the respect, warmth and tenderness the care team gave touched our hearts and gave us comfort.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We're truly sorry for your loss and feel honoured to have cared for your mam. It means a great deal to hear how much the team's kindness and respect meant to mam and to your family.
I find all the ladies very prompt, and arrive keen to get on with the job. They have been well briefed as to my personal needs, and they are always looking how to aid my health & well being. They are alway cheerful and have been a massive help.

Although the support provided was only for a short period, it was invaluable to us, in being comforted that my husband was looked after in a caring and compassionate manner and his hygiene needs taken care of. All the carers that attended were lovely, kind and friendly and I can't thank them enough for their support.

The ladies are always kind and caring, they keep things very clean and tidy. It was a very nerve wreaking for us to have 'strangers' in our home but rest assured we have had nothing but a positive experience.
A few issues to iron out but nothing major.
Always reliable and on time.
Thank you brisca.

We've had a really positive experience with Brisca Durham. It's the first time we have used a home care service and the set up has been faultless. Great communication, quick to respond to queries and very reliable.
Thank you for an amazing review. We are glad to hear that you both are happy with the care we provide.
I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful your team were with my husband. They were all so caring to him they give him the love as if he was their own, it always put a smile on his face when they came in and I know he always make them smile by the time they left. Sadly he passed away on the 8th May. But I will never forget what a pleasure it was to call them family.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with a review. I know this will mean a great deal to the team and will ensure that they are aware of your kind words. We are so grateful.

The carer sits with the client and makes him a drink and empties the urine bottle that's it really. She doesn't take his cup out and she sometimes goes to sleep and has her feet on the sofa when I walk in. She has no manners she goes to our toilet without asking.
I am pleased to say we have found no problems with this team of dedicated carers. We have found all of Brisca Healthcare to be thoughtful, kind and conscientious. Every one of them carries out their duties efficiently while still being caring and friendly.

There is a sharp contrast in the care I receive from Brisca which is consistently of a high standard.

I am very pleased with my care.
