Review from Mary H (Client) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been having help from Be Happy at Home for the last few months, and found them excellent. The young woman arrives on time, and is willing to do anything I ask her to do she is very pleasant, as well as helpful.
When I phone the office I always find them pleasant, & helpful as they can be.
As
I get older I shall hopefully have more help from Be Happy at Home!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been receiving care from Be Happy at Home for over 2 years now, and we couldn't be happier with the service. The carers are consistently kind and always greet us with a smile and take the time to truly listen to our needs and concerns. Their patience and attentiveness make a real difference
in our daily lives. It's clear they genuinely care about their clients, and their professionalism shines through everything they do. We are so grateful for the support they provide and would highly recommend Be Happy at Home to anyone seeking compassionate and reliable care

Review from Cathy H (Daughter of Client) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has received care from this Provider for almost a year now, having increased over time from just companionship to including personal care.
I have found the management team always to be very approachable, friendly and compassionate, keen to work with me in flexing the approach for my father
to promote the best care for him.
They have always checked in to ensure I was happy with the team supporting my father, and where I have been unhappy about the standard, they have responded proactively to address this.
In July we were lucky enough to go away, and the management team worked hard to meet the increased care need I asked for, providing reassurance to ease the guilt I had for taking the holiday.
There are two or three carers who particularly stand out as favourites for my father, and who draw the best out in him.
Without fail they are all friendly, attentive and compassionate, and I can confidently state my father would not wish to be without them.
