It sounds like the respite care experience for your husband was overall positive, with good communication from the manager and quality care during your absence. It's understandable that difficulties in communication, due to language barriers, could have been frustrating. Despite this, it's clear that the care provided and the cleanliness of your home were satisfactory, which are important aspects of such a service. If you plan on using Lotus Care again, you might consider discussing the language aspect with the service provider beforehand to ensure smoother communication.

It sounds like you received good care overall, which is great to hear, especially considering it was arranged through the NHS. Your feedback highlights both positive aspects and areas for improvement, which can be helpful for the service to fine tune its approach. It's understandable that the variability in staff experience and the uncertainty around visit times might have been a bit inconvenient. Those things can sometimes add extra stress, especially when you're already managing recovery. On the plus side, it's wonderful that the care you did receive helped ease the load for both you and your wife during a challenging period. Your progress, even if slow, is encouraging, and I'm sure it's a relief to be gaining strength again. Wishing you continued recovery and a smooth journey ahead. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's valuable feedback and will be passed to the carers.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the timing of calls has been causing some issues, with gaps between calls. This can certainly disrupt daily routines, especially with the challenges you've mentioned, like meal times being affected, which can be concerning with health needs, such as diabetes. You have said that most staff are using equipment properly, though some are not fully familiar with all of it. It's essential for all staff to be adequately trained. The changes to call times, particularly without prior notification, is something that can be improved especially during meal times. I understand the concern regarding communication between overseas staff. It's important that all interactions are in English, not only to ensure clear communication but also to maintain social connection.T his will be passed on so that the scheduling can be reviewed, staff training can be addressed, and communication practices can be improved. Thank you again for your feedback.
