My mum has needed an increase in care due to ill health. Sure Care have worked wonders to find suitable visits to meet her needs and mum absolutely loves the carers.
Recently, mum had to stay in hospital and the management team were at the end of the phone offering advice and support whenever we needed
it to help mum when she returned home. This advice was invaluable and made navigating the discharge process a bit easier.
The management team and their care team, are extremely knowledgeable and really care about the people they visit treating them, and us, like family. Mum is very happy with how she is treated, which really matters.

We engaged SureCare Swale in late February 2025 for two visits per day for my mother. Carers have visited on time every day since and they are the same people and so familiar to Mum. They are very caring, chat to Mum, and communicate any concerns about Mum's health through mangement to us. They follow
the support plan and record visits very thoroughly. Management is very open to discussion and tailoring of needs for Mum.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for SureCare Swale is based on 7 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 = 4.7
