I really can't fault the team who attended to look after my mum and stepdad. They spent time to talk to my stepdad and he really enjoyed the chats and company. Although my mum has late onset Alzheimer's. They were kind efficient and friendly throughout. Definitely would highly recommend they took time to explain who they were and why they were there. They prompted her as much as possible and with kindness and sensitivity. The administration staff were super efficient with emails and information that we needed and also very kind. It's such a worrying and frightening time for the people receiving the care and the families who are putting their families into care and Alcedo were efficient and sensitive.

Everybody has been very pleasant and helpful. Within 48 hours, they had provided care for my father when I was struggling to meet his needs. I would highly recommend Alcedo Home Care.

We have been really impressed with everyone we have liaised with, from the initial call and assessment to the wonderful carers and management support. We approached Alcedo Care to provide temporary support following mum's long hospital stay and heart operation. Mum is a retired Care Quality Commission Inspector and has nothing but praise for the experience and care she has received. The excellent, proactive and genuine care for mum and our supporting family has made a stressful transition significantly less so. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your kind words and support, and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
I was able to go on a road trip all around Greece with my support worker. They helped me navigate the busy places and helped give me confidence and the ability to relax and enjoy the holiday. They let me have down time when I needed and helped give me options of things to do when we have free time....
Apart from the holiday, I have a weekly 3 hour visit which allows me to get out of the house and do things I am normally not able to do.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip to Greece and felt supported, confident, and able to relax throughout.
We have been with Alcedo Care for over six months and the care has been a great help in getting my husband up in the mornings, showered, shaved, and having breakfast!

Since taking over my grandad's care in November, I have been extremely satisfied with the level of care. Staff are professional and care with dignity and high standards. The compliance towards medication management is excellent.

My son spends quality time with his two carers. They see to his wants and needs. The carers interact with him as much as they can. He enjoys trips out in the community several times a week. I feel that the service the carers provide is right for my son.

Hi, my name is Lisa Floyd, and I’m the Operations Manager for Alcedo Care.
I’ve been with Alcedo Care for five years, starting as a Care Manager before progressing to Registered Manager, Area Manager and now Operations Manager. Having worked in these roles, I understand the challenges our teams face and how much their dedication means to the people we support.
I have over 10 years’ experience in health and social care, beginning my career as a Healthcare Assistant. Along the way, I’ve also completed a foundation degree and a bachelor’s degree in Health and Social Care.
In my current role, I support our teams to deliver high-quality care, maintain standards and continually improve our services. I’m passionate about helping people remain independent in their own homes, with care that reflects their individual needs and wishes.
For me, it’s about making a positive difference to people’s lives and supporting our staff to feel confident, valued and proud of the work they do. I’m proud of my journey with Alcedo Care and to be part of a team that shares these values.

Hi, my name is Tierney Laithwaite, and I am the Manager of Alcedo Care Ulverston and Barrow.
I oversee the day-to-day running of our homecare service, ensuring we consistently deliver high-quality, person-centred care that enables our clients to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes. I work closely with our team to maintain the highest standards of care, support our staff, and ensure every client receives compassionate, reliable, and tailored support that meets their individual needs.

Hi, my name is Isobel Woodburn, and I am the Care Coordinator of Alcedo Care Ulverston and Barrow.
I began my journey with Alcedo Care as a Domiciliary Carer before progressing to Complex Carer. In September 2025, I was promoted to Field Care Supervisor, and I now hold a fixed-term promotion to Care Coordinator until January 2027.
My role involves carrying out spot checks and supervisions with our care staff to ensure we consistently deliver the high standards of care we pride ourselves on. I support the development and wellbeing of our carers, helping to ensure they feel valued and supported in their roles while also making sure our clients are happy with the care they receive.
I liaise closely with families, carers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure everyone feels informed, supported, and confident in the care we provide. I also organise staff rotas and schedules, while working behind the scenes to complete audits, maintain compliance, and ensure our service runs smoothly and efficiently.

Hi, my name is Abbie Knowles, and I am the Care Assessor of Alcedo Care Ulverston and Barrow.
My role involves ensuring that all care plans are up to date, person-centred, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I am the first point of contact for new clients, carrying out assessments and developing personalised care plans in partnership with clients and their families to ensure the right support is in place from the very beginning.
I work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure our clients' social, emotional, and medical needs are fully supported by our care team. I also complete audits and help maintain compliance across the service.
One of the aspects I enjoy most about my role is carrying out assessments and meeting new clients, as I have the privilege of being one of the first friendly faces of Alcedo Care they meet.
