We are so pleased with the support our son receives, he gets excited when he sees he is going out with his support worker and they always provide him with activities he enjoys and follow his support plan.
Thank you for such a positive feedback. The supporting staff will feel so encouraged. We do appreciate it.
Brisca Healthcare Durham have provided respite for my disabled daughter during school holidays since Easter 2024. As a single father this has been a huge help and I can't praise Brisca and their staff enough. They have gone above and beyond expectations ensuring my daughter is cared for to the highest of standards.
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.
My father-in-law always looks forward to his companionship walks, twice a week, with the staff from Brisca Healthcare Durham. He is in a wheelchair so struggles to get out of the house. The staff who attend are always very friendly and reassuring and attend to all his needs during his walks. The admin staff and the management team are also very professional and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend Brisca Healthcare Durham.
Thank you for giving us a positive review. We are delighted you are happy with our service and appreciate you taking the time to send your feedback. We are grateful.
The carers that attend my home to care for my son are very respectful and caring and always happy and a delight to have in my home and me and my son enjoy seeing them on a daily basis and all of them have a really good rapport with my son.

We really appreciate your review and thank you for your lovely feedback. We will share your kind compliments with the team.
Brisca Healthcare and its staff were incredibly helpful and supportive with our autistic son and definitely recommend them to anyone who would benefit from them. Our autistic son liked the carers initially, which was great.

Not only did the whole team provide the highest level and quality of care, but they did so with compassion, empathy and understanding. In addition, they also gave moral support to our close family in what was a very challenging time and went above and beyond the level of support we expected to receive.
Brisca Healthcare you all do an amazing job - we couldn't have managed without you.
With our sincere thanks.

Carers were respectful and polite at all times. Very helpful and kept my sister's dignity at all times. They made sure she had what we needed and that she had no bed sores etc. Since having a catheter fitted my sister felt she no longer needed the service.
Thanks for the lovely review and wonderful words. We are glad to be of help to your sister during this short period of time.
My little boy seems to enjoy his weekends. Especially with one member of staff who he always talks about on his return home... I would definitely recommend this service to others. Very caring and friendly staff. Great work :)
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you are happy with our services and support that is being provided to your son. We will pass on the feedback to that member of staff. She is going to feel encouraged.
Brisca have been absolutely amazing with my severely disabled with autism and learning disabilities. His carers are 5 stars and he loves going out with them. He always has a brilliant time, would recommend them 100%.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We're thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience with us. Providing excellent service and ensuring satisfaction are our top priorities, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that we are meeting your expectations. Your feedback to Brisca, is a great motivation for our team to continue delivering exceptional service.
I have been able to encounter two primary good features with them that I have found extremely rare in a caring profession that looks after a very complex, extremely challenging boy like my child. These are;
First and foremost, the kindness, diligence, forbearance and patience of the personnel who are presently caring for my child and who genuinely work in the necessary hours, despite how difficult the day may be.
Second, the manner in which this business lived up to the promise that "they will work with your family." They are genuinely adaptable and will work the hours that suit the requirements of your family.
All I can hope for is that they stay that way and are able to provide other families in need of similar services with this kind of wonderful assistance.
We are very grateful for your time in leaving us such a positive review. We would not be able to grow and develop without feedback like yours. we are thrilled you are having a good experience with us and we hope to maintain such great standards. Thank you once again.
Very good.
Thank you for a positive review of Brisca Healthcare. We aim to work hard and improve in all the areas we provide services to ensure we will be able to get a five-star rating in the future.
Apart from a few minor teething problems, the service has been very good. My mother is happy with the carers and has a good rapport with them.

Everyone who came to visit Dad in what was to be his last few days was lovely. They were kind, caring and supportive and carried out their duties with dignity and respect for Dad and the rest of the family. Thank you everyone.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you are happy with our care services and support that was provided to dad and the whole family. Regards Brisca management.
This was our first venture into finding a carer to cover for me, looking after my wife when I had lengthy hospital appointments.
It was a very positive experience, and both my wife and I were very happy with our carer who turned up early to find out exactly what we wanted.
Thank you Brisca.

They understand that it is an emotional time for families when a member needs extra care/support and also for the patient/client. The carers from Brisca have kept us up to date at every step and shown much kindness to my uncle.
