Overall Experience

We have recently increased the frequency of care visits to my parents following a period of time where my dad was unwell. As he is primary carer for my mum (who lives with Alzheimer's), we needed daily visits at varying intervals as dad recovered. The staff at Kemble at Home are unfailingly helpful,

concerned and adaptable to our needs. They respond within the hour to requests and prompt, inform and advise as necessary. The group app is immensely helpful to relay information. We have discussed further levels of care moving forward and my parents and I are confident in care Kemble can provide. Thank you.

Overall Experience

The wonderful carers of Kemble at Home first came to help look after Dad in 2017. Following his passing and our Mum's diagnosis of dementia, they were our first choice for care at home. Mum felt very lonely, upset and isolated although we as her family were visiting often. In August 2021 it was decided

that care at home was needed, she did not want carers but as time went by she grew to love them all and enjoyed their company immensely. The care package was increased incrementally in line with the development of Mum's condition. The carers provided excellent care, they were kind, respectful, very supportive and went above and beyond to help her. As her family we were very grateful to know Mum was happy and enjoyed their visits at a very vulnerable time in her life. I had very good liaison with the office staff and the carers became part of my friendship group as well as Mums. I have no hesitation in recommending Kemble at Home to future clients. Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience

Kemble at Home has provided excellent service to my father and my mother for the last four years until my father recently passed away. The care package was increased incrementally as his capabilities reduced, following a management home visit at each step. In the latter period, a small team of carers

provided outstanding personal care, despite his behavioural challenges, they went above and beyond our expectations. We have so much praise and thanks for the Kemble team.

Thank you for your review the carers were very fond of your mother and father. I shall pass on your lovely review to them, they will be over the moon with your feedback. Best wishes to your mother and the family.

Overall Experience

We started using Kemble at Home five months ago and to date have had excellent care for our mother who has dementia. We wanted her to stay in her own home as this is where she is happy and this seems to be working very well. We have two carers who work on a two-week on two week-off basis and both girls

give our mother 100% first-rate care. She is very settled with them and stimulated as they take her out for drives in their car and arrange outings and meetings with her friends where possible. We are very satisfied with Kemble at Home and would recommend them.

Overall Experience

We have been using Kemble for about 16 months to look after my 92 year old mother.
The carers are very caring and kind to Mum, she is forgetful at times and does not hear well at all.
Mum's quality of life has been improved by having someone to take care of her. She is eating well now and happy with

both carers she has.
It was difficult to get Mum to have a carer, but now she would not be without them.
It is also a great weight off my mind knowing someone is with her all day and night. The most important thing is that Mum is happy with Kemble.

Overall Experience

I started using Kemble in June when individual day care visits ceased to be enough to look after my mother who is living with deteriorating dementia. The Kemble carers have made a huge difference to her life, not just in addressing the specific issues that were facing us in terms of her wandering and

putting herself at risk inside the home, but in providing her with regular, tailored home-cooked meals that she loves, keeping her clean and very well presented, organising regular low-cost outings and, above all, providing her with the companionship to reduce the anxiety that her condition generates. The difference in her overall well-being from a year ago, when her condition was actually less advanced, is quite astounding. The carers are flexible in helping me manage my life and work around Mum's needs, are always professional in their approach, but are deeply caring and kind. What they do is truly a vocation and I am in awe of their patience and commitment.

We have been using Kemble for a couple of years to provide home care and support for my elderly mother who has dementia. We feel very lucky to have found them as the service is excellent. Kemble is very proactive and helps with all sorts of things from shopping, cleaning, hair washes, taking my mother

to appointments, cooking etc. The staff are very caring and my mother enjoys the visits.

We have used Kemble at Home for the last eighteen months and found them to be an absolute Godsend dealing with my mother's ongoing dementia and Parkinson's. The carers are fantastic, always friendly and very professional and nothing is too much trouble and they are very prompt. I would recommend Kemble

too anybody who needs their services, just wish government would appreciate the vital role the care industry does in peoples' lives and reward accordingly.

Overall Experience

Kemble at Home has been providing care to my father for the last four years, and we have been very happy with the quality of that care.
He has a small team of dedicated carers, some of whom have been caring for him since February 2019; they all make a considerable difference to his quality of life.
The

service is reliable, and communication between Kemble, my father and our family is excellent.
Dad is treated with courtesy and respect and has never had cause to be dissatisfied with the service provided or any of the individuals involved.
Amongst other duties, Kemble is responsible for the safe administration of Dad's medication, and their professionalism has recently prevented a medication error.
As a retired nurse, I have high expectations and am rather difficult to please. Happily, over the last four years, Kemble at Home has continued to meet these high standards of care.

Reply from Jason Walker, Registered Manager at Kemble at Home

Dear Lorna, thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you happy with the service we are delivering to your father. I know his team is very fond of him and enjoy supporting him in his own home.

Overall Experience

My father was suddenly in need of daily care in his home and my family needed immediate help to provide an appropriate amount of care for him. Kemble at Home were willing and able to jump on board within a few days of my enquiry. The service we received was always friendly and accommodating, flexible

to suit rapidly changing needs, and completely transparent. Communication was great at all times, which was much appreciated, and all the staff were professional with my father and my family and communicated with one another. We had a small dedicated team looking after my father so he got used to familiar faces and so did we. The staff were also able to make referrals or guide us through contacting relevant services available to us, for example, occupational therapy and district nurses. I think the cost of the care was good value, and the pricing was very clear. I am very grateful to the team for all their help and support at a very challenging time for our family.

Superb care and compassion. Kemble at Home really listens and more importantly, hears. So happy we have chosen Kemble at Home for Dad. We feel that he is receiving 'home from home' care and love. Well done to the management for your attention to detail and kindness at such a difficult time for our family

and for choosing to employ such superb carers.

Kemble at Home were amazing. They couldn’t have done more and been more helpful if they tried. They helped me to work through a maelstrom of information and options and were an incredible source of support and information. Their care staff were all wonderful and the office was so lovely to deal with.

I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for help/carers.

Overall Experience

I have been using Kemble at Home care for a few months now as I have a form of Parkinson's that leaves me with very poor mobility. We have a carer for an hour for four mornings a week. They are all excellent – professional, kind and efficient. They help with my shower, making the bed, and other chores

around the house. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. In addition, they arrive on time and I always know from the rota who to expect. I would one hundred per cent recommend Kemble to other people. It means that my husband who has to do a lot of care these days can have a well-earned rest.

Overall Experience

We have engaged Kemble's live-in services for several years now. All the carers have been considerate and caring and have treated our mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, with dignity. The 2 ladies who are currently on rotation are exceptional: we trust their integrity, they are professional in their

approach, easy for my sister and me to work with, cheerful and helpful. This enables Mum to remain living in her own home and, for us, her daughters, to spend time with Mum during our frequent visits and to deal with all that's entailed with running a rural, character property!

Overall Experience

First impressions attention to detail are essential for me when purchasing goods or a service. Kemble at Home impressed me with their 'tell us how we can help and we will do our best to do it' approach. After 12 weeks I have a team of ladies who travel 10 miles from their office along narrow lanes to

my house, who have cheerfully learnt my routine. I am deaf so lip-read - Kemble sourced masks with a clear panel in them for the carers to wear which is brilliant. I am kept informed if the carer is going to be late or if it is a different lady to the one on the booking detail which is emailed to me weekly. I have to be supervised walking outside, while the carer and I walk up to my gate we have an interesting conversation on all sorts of topics - never about their other clients or the office staff. The standard of care and support I have is consistent with attention to detail. My daughter was wary at first of letting others care for her mother. Now she is confident Kemble carer's do.
