The care for my mother has been exemplary to date following her discharge from hospital, with good continuity of care/carers and a kind, caring and respectful approach demonstrated at all times. I am so glad that Rula Care will now be providing long term care for my mother and have full confidence in them.

We are very pleased with the service that my nan receives. The carers treat her with dignity and respect. They always arrive on time and come in with a smile. They are friendly and always thoughtful. The carers are aware of nan's needs and they are gentle and patient with her. She is always offered choice and never feels rushed on any visit. The carers brighten Nan's day, hearing my nan happy, laughing and singing during their visit makes us very happy. The carers are also very friendly, thoughtful and respectful towards my grandad. As a family, We are pleased with the ease of contacting the service and their prompt responses to any changes required. We have access to her care notes, which provides essential information on her daily well-being. All Rula staff, including management, give us reassurance of a reliable safe service. Thank you for your ongoing and continuous support.

The support workers go out of their way to helpful, kind and polite and the standard of care is excellent. All staff are lovely and approachable and reassure me if I have any anxieties. They can be flexible with you, if you can do the same with them; they are really the best company I have found and kindest. With my complex health needs they go out of their way to meet them and more. Rula Care choose lady staff that make you feel safe and are first aid trained which is important with epilepsy and autism. I want to thank Rula for their care of me I could not be in safer hands.

The care given is outstanding. All carers are friendly, and extremely polite and show they care. Individual care plans are followed, and there are no cutting corners. The girls, sing as they work and talk to my mother-in-law the whole time. Overall it is a really lovely experience having them care for her. The manager is very approachable and tries to accommodate any changes needed in the care plan. With Rula Care it is all about the client and meeting their individual needs, offering a fantastic friendly service, I definitely recommend them. A massive thank you to everyone involved.

My mother was cared for by Rula Homecare until she had to go into a nursing home for medical reasons. I will always be grateful for the care my mother received. The carers were truly amazing. They were kind, compassionate, caring, professional, and always friendly and smiling. My mother looked forward to seeing them every day. The management team was extremely helpful, easy to communicate with, and well-organised.

Rula has cared for my dad up until his last moments, they have been amazing and every single career has gone above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to everybody, I don't know what we would have done without them, my dad loved them they kept him comfortable and content until the end and I am pleased to say they have now continued care for my mother.

The carers are very kind to our Mum, nothing is too much trouble for them. They are very kind and courteous to us as a family.

My friend used the services of Rula Homecare from when she left the hospital at the end of January until she was re-admitted to the hospital at the end of April. She is in her 90s and quite frail, but reasonably independent prior to the hospital stay in January during which time she was fitted with a PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) feeding tube. On top of the daily setting up and maintenance of the PEG tube, my friend required help with getting up, washed and dressed, receiving medication via the PEG tube, and getting to bed at the end of the day. All the staff who saw my friend were very competent, and diligent with the administration of the tube, as well as being very caring and cheerful. Staff were also willing to go above and beyond to sort things out when problems arose, such as when she was first discharged from the hospital but not all the equipment required to set up the PEG tube had been sent with her. Overall, I was extremely impressed with Rula Homecare.

My mum is cared for by Rula staff and is supported with kindness and professionalism by thoughtful and diligent carers. We so appreciate the small ways in which the carers go the extra mile to support my Mum. In particular, preparing extra meals when she is super hungry and helping her to choose clothes which she loves to wear. It is this support which lets my Mum live in her own home which she enjoys.

Thank you to the carer who provided brilliant care to my mother-in-law. We will always remember the carer's patience and understanding during my mother-in-law’s last few days of life. In particular, the ways the carer tried to persuade her to eat and drink and especially the hours spent brushing her hair. The carer allowed my mother-in-law to live at home which was as she wished. Thank you.

This is just to say a big thank you to the carers of Rula Homecare, who all do a fantastic job of caring for my mum daily. Without them, we would be lost. One lady is exceptional; her commitment to my mum knows no bounds, and she can’t do enough for her and us as a family, even when her own life is busy and not easy to deal with. She is a real treasure to our family in my mum's ever-changing time of need. Even the boss found time to take my mum door to door to a medical appointment, which myself and family members couldn’t take her to due to work.

Rula Homecare is one of the care providers in Felixstowe/Ipswich which I would recommend. It‘s been managed very well. The staff are so friendly and caring. We have been using them for more than a year.

Outstanding care is given to my husband. The carer had helped me when I had a hip replacement, so it was a pleasure to ask them for help when my husband became bedbound. The care given to him was always with compassion and on the days when he was very unwell, they were always understanding.

My late mum was cared for by Rula Homecare and their wonderful team - I was contacted almost daily from the owners to keep me constantly updated with how Mum was faring. Mum went into their care on a couple of occasions over the past two years until she sadly lost her life in July this year. Mum was treated with the utmost dignity and loved all the carers like they were her own family. I will never forget the kindness my family and I were shown. As I live in Derbyshire and Mum was in Felixstowe this constant contact was a lifeline. If I had any issues at all or Mum called me wanting something particular for lunch or was just simply having a bad day, one of the owners and her team would go out of their way to shop for her or if ever possible change the visiting time to ensure Mum had all she needed. Towards the end, I felt I had an extended family too and when Mum passed I was not only very sad to lose my mum but also my extended family that had become Rula Homecare!

My husband has been with Rula Home care now for 16 months. The carers are very respectful, they always ask if there is anything else that needs doing besides the normal. Management does regular checks and always asks if there are any problems. We can also call Rula Care on the phone if any problems arise. My husband and I are very happy with the care that is provided. Carers are cheerful and very willing to help. I would definitely recommend Rula Care to anybody.

Rula Homecare staff and management have been looking after me for 8 months, I am very happy with them and have every confidence in them. They are very sensitive to my requirements. Management and staff help with any problem I have and can deal with any situation which arises. I look forward to seeing them, they look after my social needs, we go out for a cup of tea or an ice cream, which I thoroughly enjoy. We also have a little discussion from time to time which is very important to me as I live alone. I can always call managers confidently if I have any problem or need to know something and they are always very pleasant and reassuring to me. I recommend Rula Homecare thoroughly.
