Over all time Purbeck Personal Assistants has 3 reviews.
Any health issues were noted and we were made aware of so we could act accordingly.
Also, they would always ask my dad how he was doing, to check that he was coping ok, as he did the care in between times when they weren't there. Certainly head and shoulders above some of the larger companies out there. Would certainly call on them again if the need arose.
Thank you for your review Jenni, it was always a pleasure to see both Mum and Dad each Day and you as well when you wete at home. We prode ourselves in not only providing the care needed for our clients but also supporting the family carers who do most of the work while we are not there. Yourself and your Dad always did a fabulous job and it was a pleasure to support you all
Some of the carers are excellent in every aspect of care. However some do the minimum required, in particular to cleaning and washing up.
It would be good if the carers who have established a trusting relationship could be scheduled to attend the residents on a more frequent basis.
Thank you for your honest review. We are aware of the clients favourites and are working to improve the schedule. We do hoewever like to regularly place a spare carer each week so there is some familiarity to cover the favourite carers holidays and time off. Carers annual appraisals are n9w due so...
I am impressed with the carers they provide a professional service. The majority are experienced, some have worked for NHS and other care companies. They all speak fluent English which is important if you require pain relieve medication. The ambiance is always inviting and comfortable. Pricing is fair and transparent, value for money compared to other local providers. Efficiency, flexibility and punctuality are hallmarks of their service.
Thank you so much for your Review. It is always a pleasure to support your wife. We are lucky to have a dedicated carer who lives round the corner who is happy to be flexible to change visit times to suit your wife's changing needs. Thank you for pointing out that we are flexible and provide good...
