This is the first time my 92yr old Mum has had any care. I set it up due to being away for a few weeks. I have to say I was very nervous about this as Mum only agreed to placate me.
One month on and I'm pleased to report it has been a great success.
All carers have been so friendly and just been a
gentle check to ensure she is coping. They have done this without Mum feeling there is any intrusion in her daily living.
Thank you to you all, it has given peace of mind. Now I am back home Mum and I have decided to continue with your support.

Reply from Kelly Burwood-Beames, Care Manager at Angel Carers Home Care & Live-in Care

So glad we've been able to support Mum in away that has reduced the worry for both of you. We are glad this will continue and look forward to many more visits and shopping trips out.

Very pleased with the support given to my mother-in-law. Particularly pleased with the way you have adapted support to her with changing circumstances. All care workers are welcomed by her and you have managed through difficult times to keep her support consistent. All care workers are reliable and

Many thanks.

After a disappointing experience with another care company that failed to attend on time with minimal interaction with client, it was a wonder to have Angel Carers attend with respect, good humour and capable staff. The attention to detail and personal report with the client is a delight. Truly amazing.

Angel Carers have been a godsend to our family. We were struggling to find care for our mother but at the end of March 2023, they managed to set up a domiciliary rota initially starting at three days and moving up to five days a week for five hours a day.
We cannot fault the carers, they have been
caring and compassionate and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Reply from Clare Park, Director at Angel Carers Home Care & Live-in Care

Thank you so much for your kind words. At Angel Carers we do understand that often when we start a care package it is not only the client that benefits, also the family and other support network that benefit from the care that we provide for their loved ones.

My wife has been in domiciliary care at our home from June 2022, so I have watched most of the care first-hand. I volunteered to cook our meals and dispense medicines. Apart from that, Angel Carers do everything else that my wife needs, including eye drops and hearing aids. A Sara Stedy is used to transfer
my wife between chairs and bed. There are four visits a day, and a weekly calendar is provided showing which carer is due next and at what time. They have never missed a visit.
The strength of Angel Carers lies in their staff. Management must choose their employees very carefully because they work well as a team and enjoy what they are doing. They are looking after my wife with interest and good humour, which crucially means we trust them. I am very glad we chose this company.

Reply from Clare Park, Director at Angel Carers Home Care & Live-in Care

Thank you for your kind words. We aspire to offer the best care workers, who are trained to a high standard after completing an interview and induction process. To ensure that we have the best staff for the job. We encourage interaction with all members of the client's family in a professional manner whilst having a sense of humour.
It is lovely to hear that we are achieving our goals.

For the last eight months, we have received a comprehensive, professional, warm, and caring service. Supporting my mum for an hour on a daily basis until her passing in February. The staff were also there to talk with, support and encourage my Dad who at ninety years of age was Mum's full-time carer.

Angel Carers continue that support, as my dad continues to live at home interdependently with the early stages of dementia. An excellent service, thank you.

The carers have been uniformly kind and well-meaning and have looked after my mum very well. I know scheduling is difficult, but in an ideal world, the morning visit would have been earlier and the evening visit later. If that had been possible, the rating would have been “excellent “ rather than “good”.

Reply from Clare Park, Director at Angel Carers Home Care & Live-in Care

Thank you for your review. We do understand how frustrating it can be when we cannot give clients the exact times they would like. We strive to get calls as close to the preferred time as possible. Your comments regarding the care Mum receives and about our care workers we appreciate and it is lovely to hear that our care workers are providing person centred care with kindness.

Angel Carers, especially one lady, made the whole process stress-free. Her completion of the care needs review time focused on the individual and their needs, carer match, and action to implement. The service was excellent and she took the time to keep us informed and follow up in a timely, professional
and friendly manner. Care support from one gentleman was actioned quickly and is a great match with individuals looking forward to their visits. I have great confidence in Angel Carers and feel confident in working with them in future as care needs increase.

Can not explain just how happy we have been with the care provided for my mum by Angel Carers. They have provided live-in care and the Live-in Care Services Manager and the team have excellent communication from our first enquiry with the family and social care. They always look to accommodate mum's
care needs and place appropriate carers for her needs. They have really taken away the stress and worry about mum and knowing the Live-in Care Services Manager always has mum's best interests and quality of life foremost in her decisions is brilliant and really lifts some of the burden of mum's dementia and care. The carers all seem to be appropriately placed for mum's needs and have been great to keep mum living at home where she wants to be around her family and in familiar surroundings.

Reply from Clare Park, Director at Angel Carers Home Care & Live-in Care

Thank you for your review. At Angel Carers we pride ourselves on our communication with family and the care we provide. We take pride in the fact that we try our hardest to find the right care professional for each individual client's care requirements. Our office team understand the stress that can often be removed from the family once a live-in care professional is in situ. So they are able to enjoy quality time with their loved ones. Person-centred care is at the forefront of the care we provide. Our aim is always to fulfil our clients' and their families' wishes to enable them to remain in their own homes. I am exceptionally proud that we have been able to do this for your Mum.
