View Full Details of Birchwood Care ServicesThe carers and management are amazing at the jobs. Any query I had was swiftly dealt with professionally, everything always went to plan. Can't recommend the service highly enough. They always go above and beyond.
Birchwood Care were there for my mum when she needed the help she wouldn't admit she needed. I have nothing but praise for the kind considerate and caring attitude of their staff even down to their care of her pets in the days following her unexpected passing. Thank you doesn't seem enough. I would also like to thank the managers for the patient way they dealt with me and what must have seemed my unending phone calls and questions.
Could not be happier with the level of service Birchwood Care Services provide my dad. The first meeting, many months ago, both the care coordinator and the manager did a thorough review of not only what my dad's care needs/expectations were but they got to know him as a person. They made sure that carers who would understand my dad's humour and ways were assigned to him, so the whole experience remained as positive as possible for Dad. Unfortunately, as Dad's health has declined, he has required more care but nothing is too much for Birchwood. The care coordinator and the manager have often attended extra visits as they were in the area and we had an emergency situation. They help liaise with adult social services etc. which can be difficult and they always ensure to communicate with me as to what Dad and they might need. I wouldn't trust another company with my dad's health and well-being like I trust all the staff I have encountered at Birchwood.
Very little experience because I haven't had to have very much contact with staff apart from my carer who is excellent and feels more like a friend. I think we enjoy each other's company.
I feel it went very well. The carers and their managers are always very helpful.
Now we have the same regular carer and her days off are covered by the same two caring and competent carers, I am very happy with the service Mum receives from Birchwood. The carers treat Mum with respect, kindness and dignity. They are polite and encourage her to do as much as possible for herself. I always find the office staff very helpful, efficient and accommodating.
Everything with this company is excellent except the appointments app which is a mess and needs sorting. For some visits 3 times and 2 carers will be shown several times. It seems that when an update is made, previous information remaining here is not consistent and is very confusing. Sort this and a general shortage of carers will make an overall excellent operation.
Having extra support from Birchwood carers enabled us to keep Mum safe in her own home for longer than would have otherwise been possible. The carer visits were mostly to provide company for Mum and an extra pair of eyes to let me know if there were any concerns. I found the team to be very flexible and accommodating whenever I needed to change visits due to appointments or other plans. Thanks to everyone at Birchwood for keeping Mum safe during this time in her life. She has now moved into full-time care but I'm very glad that with the support of Birchwood she was able to stay in the home she loved so much for as long as possible.
Dad has been having Birchwood carers for many months now and we have valued having their daily morning visits to Dad to help with medication, bed making and dentures! All the carers seem friendly and willing to support Dad and the staff in the office are very efficient and helpful.
I have nice staff and a good time. All are nice to me.
I am very happy with the care I've received from the office to carers. I've needed support over the last few years for personal and mental care. Invaluable care.
Carers were pleasant and mum never said a bad word against them. They would always ask mum if she needed any help and some carers would sit and have a brief chat with her. As I do not live close by the carers were essential to mum living independently. There were a couple of occasions where her lifeline was not on but it was always resolved. I would say communication could have been better.
The carer has been so kind, helpful, and friendly.
The staff who come to me are very kind and helpful and always do what I want. They are very good at timekeeping and always very tidy and friendly.
Very good people caring for me and the girls are happy and make me happy when I'm sad and ill.
All the carers are a great help to me in looking after my brother. My brother was very fond of them all, he has now passed away and the house seems very empty.
Firstly I must apologise profusely for the fact that this review is so late - it was buried in one of my heaps, secondly, I am sorry for my awful handwriting, the authorities is having a field day at present. I have already recommended Birchwookd Care Services to several people who have asked my opinion and have had no hesitation in doing so. My helpers are efficient, willing and adaptable and I have no problems with the administrative department. We have to make adjustments occasionally but that is only to be expected.
We have found Birchwood Services very efficient with caring and reliable staff.
I was very pleased indeed to have my carer look after me so well and for her to make such a transformation in the house. She was very patient and good to work with.
We have had 3 different young women to clean during our first month of using Birchwood Care. They have all been extremely polite, excellent workers and very quick.
