My dad needs minimal support at the moment but I am investing for the future as his needs will surely increase, Cheshire Home Care responded very quickly and flexibly to my request for a once per week visit to support him when he showers. The carer is friendly and is consistently the same person which
is great, they respond to his needs which are social as well as practical. I find the report using the Birdie App really great for me to check in on his physical and mental state each week and gives me a day off from concern about him.

Cheshire Home Care have been outstanding! I can’t praise them highly enough for the care they provide. Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond. My father-in-law looks forward to his visits and chats. He has improved so much since their visits, despite the progressive nature of his
dementia. Communication is superb and each and every one of the carers are kind and professional, they know and understand my father-in-law really well so it gives us peace of mind that they will pick up on any issues quickly. The option of half hour visits is ideal for us too. I really don’t know what we’d do without them

Over the month we had a variety of carers who were all very kind and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble and they all dealt with everything calmly and patiently.

I contacted Cheshire Home Care when my mum needed some support and company. She is fairly independent but recently diagnosed with early dementia and was getting a bit upset and frustrated.
Cheshire Home Care had been recommended to me and when I made contact I felt comfortable talking with them and
they really sounded perfect for my mum.
They did a thorough introduction visit, getting to know Mum and what she likes/dislikes.
Since the carers have been visiting Mum, approximately four weeks, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in Mum's mental health and she has even been out on her own (by taxi) to have her hair done!
Even though Mum doesn’t need much physical help, the regular visits by the carers have proved invaluable to her mental health and happiness
I’m so pleased we took action now and not wait for Mum to deteriorate. Her quality of life has improved dramatically.

Cheshire Home Care are outstanding in all respects. The team are kind, caring, diligent and compassionate in all that they do. They do their utmost to accommodate all requests without hesitation, always putting my lovely Mother and her welfare first. My mother would not have been able to remain in her
own home after the heartbreaking loss of my father without their kindness, care and support. She really looks forward to their visits, during which they make her laugh and feel happy once again. Each and every member of the team are superb. The highest standards we could have possibly wished for whilst also being highly professional. We are very grateful to each and every one of the team.

All the staff are caring and very professional in their approach to the care provided. Social interaction is excellent and ensures that client wellbeing is maintained. The app allows family members to monitor the care visits which is very useful. The only improvement to make would be to allow return
communication via the app.

Reply from Amy Tod, Director at Cheshire Home Care

Thank you for your review. We are very lucky to be able to provide care to your mum. I will pass your comments on to our care monitoring system regarding the two way communication on the app.

I will be eternally thankful for the wonderful support provided by Cheshire Home Care throughout my 93-year-old mother's rehabilitation.
The manager, deputy manager and all the team are five-star and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Cheshire Home Care are extremely professional. The care team who support my mother are wonderful. They treat her with such care and respect - nothing is too much trouble. My mother was very reluctant to have carers in her home. Now she looks forward to their visits. In addition to the care they provide
for my mother, the company makes sure that I am well informed at all times and are always there to advise. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Cheshire Home Care really are an outstanding company and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. The management skills are top class meaning that from the start, the staff feel valued and cared about. The carers themselves are the most amazing, caring individuals I have ever had any contact with.
Every single person has helped our family to care for my dad and keep him in his own home. They regularly go beyond their duty and nothing is too much trouble for them. The main thing is that they make my dad happy, they genuinely care for him and he always has a smile for them. His welfare and happiness are paramount to each and every one of the staff every single visit.

The care team do everything they can to look after my mother and go out of their way to care for her. For example, when her central heating broke down they did lots of beyond the call of duty to ensure she was kept warm and safe.

All the carers are wonderful I really can't thank them enough. The managers keep me well informed about my mother's health and well-being and the new app is also a lovely extra to feel more in touch with my mother when I can't be there to visit. My mother is so comfortable and happy with her care and
it enables her to stay in her own home as she wishes. Thank you all so much.

The care and love consistently delivered by the manager and her team is beyond exceptional. They have been there for us 24/7 and we couldn’t ever be without them. The attention to detail, love, friendliness and care we receive off them is incredible. They have transformed our lives and they are always

Every carer has a fantastic personality and is consistent with time-keeping, standards and professionalism. Most of all, dignity and compassion are forefront in their care. We are blessed to have time team in our lives.

The managers are lovely people and they strive to offer a fantastic service to all of their customers. They always go above and beyond to make sure every task is complete to a very high standard. They always contact you if something isn’t right being the medication or any concerns about your loved one.
My mum wasn’t happy to have carers put in place but now they are we think of the staff to be part of the family. There is only a small team and all the staff are lovely and kind. If you need help I would totally recommend this team.

The care Cheshire Home Care Solutions provided to my grandmother was excellent.
All of the care staff and management team really did care about her and allowed her to remain at home for as long as possible. The care she received made a huge difference to her last few months of life and all of the
family are very grateful for this.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

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

Amy Tod

Job Title: Care Manager and Director

Joined: 2008

Amy has worked for CHC for over ten years. She started as a care worker whilst at University. Amy is different than a lot of care managers in her approach to her role. She makes sure that she knows each of our clients personally, she assists in their care plans being written and will ensure she sees our clients very regularly. Amy takes her role very personally, she is available to clients and her staff 24 hours a day, via an on-call service.
She likes care to "make a real difference", she enjoys being out of the office and working in the community.
"Cheshire Home Care is lucky to have someone like Amy", "We know if we need to contact her we always can" "My mum feels safer knowing Amy will always do her best for her" are just a few of comments we have had about Amy's tireless work and we agree.
