We needed some help for my Mum with the domestic side of things.
Anglian Care and Domestic Support had been recommended to me by a friend.
We were not disappointed. We set up a plan which was really straight forward. The lady met with us and was very understanding, there was no pressure put on
us at all. Any queries I had were dealt with promptly.
The carers are so friendly and kind to my Mum, they work really hard and respect her wishes. She really enjoys their visits and it also provides some very needed company.
Thank you to all the staff that assist my Mum.

I have found the care from Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services to be excellent. My main carer was always punctual, had a very pleasant manner and never made me feel awkward or embarrassed about my situation. We would reminisce about the local area, both being local and have a laugh. If other
carers came they were just as pleasant. My carers always followed the details about my care package.

Firstly, Anglian Care Services were highly recommended by a senior person in a local care home. My 2 brothers and I are extremely pleased with the wonderful care our 91-year-old mother is receiving every day. From the very first time we met the Manager, she totally understood the needs of our mum and
made lots of positive suggestions. The whole team are very friendly, very experienced and very caring. My mum loves chatting to all the carers and the medical problem that our mum had has now cleared up thanks to the dedication of the team. They are very flexible in their approach and when I phone with a concern, they make positive suggestions. So in turn, my brothers and I feel reassured too. Each carer writes up the notes of each visit for us, as a family to see and to inform the next day's carer. It is extremely reassuring to us as a family that Mum has a visit and help every day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I have had the pleasure of using this service now for both my father, who has sadly now passed, and now for my mother whose health is declining. The staff are always amazing, being attentive, caring, professional and nothing is too much trouble. When the manager comes out to do the assessment, she is
also professional, knowledgeable and gives you her undivided attention. I cannot rate this agency highly enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for caring and professional people to care for their loved ones.

I have been using the services of the Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services team for the last fifteen months. During this time, I have found all members of staff to be kind, courteous, mindful of my condition and professional.
I look forward to them walking in with a cheerful and positive attitude.
The management team is also supportive and approachable.

Very good service.
I feel it is unfair that when I cancel an appointment the carer due to visit does not get paid despite you taking the fee. The carer should receive the fee.

We are very pleased with the care service as my mum is a lot happier, she does not cry very much now, she talks a lot more to us and the carer and family and friends. She has put on weight which is great and she gets dressed and out of bed every day, that makes our lives much better as me and my brother
are not sad and can actually have time with our mum who has dementia. She eats and drinks a lot better too. All carers are nice to Mum and she has a joke with them, they ask her what she wants we like that if she can't answer they say what there is.

Thank you for your review of the service provided to you. Unfortunately you only gave 4 stars for 'value for money' - should you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to ask for the manager to contact you. We strive to provide a service of excellence and unfortunately there are many 'hidden' costs in achieving this.

I cannot speak highly enough of the carers who we see on a daily basis. They are polite, friendly and compassionate. I especially appreciate the way they look after my wife, who is suffering from dementia. I am able to relax more knowing that she is happy to see her cares and that takes the burden of
responsibility off my shoulders for a while. All in all the staff are really wonderful.

I am extremely happy with the service provided to my mother-in-law by Anglian Care. After several bad experiences with other domestic helpers and cleaners who frequently failed to show up or complete the tasks required, I contacted Anglian Care to explain what our needs were. They listened and I am
delighted with the helpful and caring team who visit every week, always on time and are very productive in the time they are there whilst still taking time to have a chat and a catch up. Highly recommend.

Very happy with the service Mum gets, she can be a bit awkward at times but the girls all manage to get her to do what needs to be done, she gets on well with all the carers who are all very friendly and spend time talking to her.

The carers are amazing. They are not only caring but also interested in the person they look after. They are considerate of my mother's needs and also ensure 100% that she is content and comfortable before they leave. Having met all of the carers, I can only pass on my most sincerest thanks to all of
them for the sterling work they do. Thanks!

The staff were very helpful, kind, and patient even though the person they were caring for was very difficult at times they were a super group of girls.
They did everything they were asked to do and went above and beyond the call of duty. I would recommend this company without hesitation!

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.862 for Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.862

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Anglian Care and Domestic Support Services Ltd is based on 22 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
