Overall Experience

Excellent standard of care received, carers matched to father-in-law's personality and interests so made them feel more like friends than actual caregivers. Would highly recommend it if you want amazing and personable care/ help or even companionship.

Reply from Holly Galler, Registered Manager at Horizons Homecare - Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre

Thank you for your review. It was definitely a bit of luck when we already had carers who liked football or who supported the same team! So glad that you used the word 'friends' because that is what we are always aiming for. I'll pass this on to the team, they'll be super happy to receive this feedback. Have a wonderful day!

Overall Experience

We started using horizons in may 2024 and really wish that we had used them earlier. Nan has had nothing but good words to say about her team and her experience, which is rare because she used to complain all the time about the previous girls. I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work. I know it has been difficult and you have persisted with us to get the package of care started and we are all so thankful. I wish I could recommend you to more people.

Reply from Holly Galler, Registered Manager at Horizons Homecare - Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre

Thank you for your kind, heartfelt words. It really does make a difference to us all and can help brighten up our days. It has been a long process to get the right level of funding in place that's for certain, but it has all been worth it because Nan now has the care she wanted. I'll be sure to let the entire team know of your feedback. Have a wonderful day and we'll speak soon!

Overall Experience

If I could shout to the world about how caring and professional the Horizons team are I would. Mum and Dad have had problem after problem with both of their previous care companies and in all fairness we all thought moving to another company would just give us more problems but it definitely hasn't. I do remember our last company promising regular carers but that didn't happen. We received males when mum didn't want males and the list goes on. The carers at Horizons Homecare are just wonderful! They care for Mum and Dad so much, they care emotionally for us when we need the support. They always turn up on time (unless the council puts in more stupid road works) and they always have a smile on their faces. If I had known about them sooner one hundred per cent we would have used them from the very beginning. I would highly recommend using them because they are better and they are cheaper than our last company. It doesn't feel like anything is ever a problem and we all feel confident now!

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing with my friend, I have seen a huge improvement in them mentally, knowing what they have been through and how difficult it has been finding the right home care this has amazed me! It has eased my worries and stress so much knowing the care my friend is receiving, it goes above and beyond what is expected all whilst maintaining dignity and pride. This is a truly special and well-run establishment that has the trust and faith not just of the clients but just as importantly the loved ones of clients.

Reply from Holly Galler, Registered Manager at Horizons Homecare - Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre

Thank you so much for the review! Can we return the feedback and tell you how amazing you have also been! The improvement physically, emotionally, and mentally is because of everybody who is and has been involved during these difficult couple of years. It is a pleasure to provide care to her and it...

Review from Steven P (Grandson of Client) published on 18 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From our initial call to starting our care Horizons couldn't have been more helpful. They made us feel safe and calm in one of our most difficult times. They have allowed me and my family to take quality time with our grandad rather than being his caregiver. The whole team are truly amazing. Dementia has been a tough pill to swallow for grandma but they support her too. They always check on her during the visits and are so patient and supportive with Grandad as he gets more confused. We have a great team of carers that we have all gotten to know, it's great that Grandma knows all the staff it makes her feel safe too.

Reply from Holly Galler, Registered Manager at Horizons Homecare - Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre

Thank you so much for your review! It has been a real pleasure to work with you all while we got the package of care started. We will pass your kind words on to the team as I am sure it will put a smile on their faces. Have a lovely day, and hopefully, I will be able to catch up with you all soon.

Overall Experience

They came to visit me and Mum to talk about how they could help. The problem was that we always had a care provider but we really wanted to move because we were really unhappy. The carers were so nice and gave us lots of advice. We got to meet our carers before they started officially which was nice for Mum and all of us. It showed us they valued the family/friendship aspect of us. Now they only send the same carers (our girls) and Mum is better than ever. Thank you!

Reply from James Galler, Manager at Horizons Homecare - Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre

Thanks for your amazing review, we know it's been challenging for everyone and we are glad we could help you and your amazing family during this difficult time. It's great to see the progress your Mum has made, the care staff love her to bits.

Russell Crossley
Hi, I'm Russell and I'm the Director for Horizons Homecare. I'm married and have 3 daughters, a Weimaraner (Poppy) and a squad of footballing teenagers! My experience in care starts all the way back in 1990's where I supported family members with very specific needs. I then went on to study Sports & Exercise science and Nutritional sciences before falling in love with the world of Business.

I have owned, lead and built businesses in finance, retail, service and domiciliary care - all of which have shaped my decision to join, build and lead Horizons Homecare to be the very best care company around.

In the very rare event that I cannot help you with your care needs, I can certainly help you find an alternative provider that has the same values as we do.
