SweetTree pride themselves on offering their clients the highest quality care and support possible, regardless of the level of need or dependency. Rated as an 'Outstanding' provider by the Care Quality Commission for two consecutive inspections (January 2018 and December 2020), their prime objective is to assist those they look after to remain in their own home for as long as they wish with dignity, independence and control over their life. They dedicate themselves to creating individualised care packages ranging from two-hour visits through to specialised live-in packages and community support programmes like SweetTree Fields Farm, which helps those attending to build confidence, independent living skills and improved overall wellness, which comes from being active in the outdoors.

Their services also include bespoke programmes to ensure that the care and support received by all clients are appropriate to their needs, catering for those with acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, dementia, and learning disabilities, including autism and dual diagnosis. Whether a client requires companionship and care at home, or more specialist support, the team of highly trained carers is here to help.

SweetTree meticulously selects its care team members and consistently offers training through its acclaimed in-house academy. For each care plan, their committed and expert staff adopt a holistic and personalised strategy to precisely align with each individual's unique care needs. Their team of professionals prioritise flexibility and transparency to adapt to the evolving needs of clients and their families.

SweetTree's high-quality care has been recognised with multiple regional and national awards, including 6 national Home Care Awards, a Top 20 Home Care Providers in London ranking by Homecare.co.uk, and 4 victories at the Great British Care Awards only in 2023.

SweetTree Home Care Services has provided outstanding care to my aunt, enabling her to stay in her own home for a lot longer than would have otherwise been possible. All of the staff I have dealt with have been extremely professional and unfailingly kind and caring. The level of care for my aunt has
been outstanding, and staff have frequently gone above and beyond, and this made such a huge difference, especially during the worst times of the pandemic. I was extremely impressed by the level of respect and dignity given to my aunt. Communication with all members of the team was excellent, and I was also given a lot of support by the staff. I strongly recommend SweetTree to anyone looking for excellent care because excellent care is exactly what was provided in every aspect of what SweetTree do.

My mother has been living with advanced dementia for the past two years. I was very impressed with the first assessment that was carried out via Zoom.
The carer started caring and supporting mum about six weeks ago, she is very patient, kind and caring. She allows mum to make choices for eg: where
she eats her meals. Also, the carer is very good at listening to our suggestions.
Having support from SweetTree has been very beneficial to us as a family. It allows us to have some respite after a long time of caring.

Very kind and friendly staff who have been sensitive to my mother's changing needs. She has found both companions a delight, and their time with her really lifts her spirits. The assessment process at the start was very well handled too. Thank you.

I approached SweetTree to provide support for my husband who has a number of conditions. The carers provided are excellent - I have increased both days and hours as the time has gone on.


My husband enjoys his quality time with the carers, and they go on walks, sit and chat, talk about interests and

when allowed they go for coffee. He cannot wait for Covid restrictions to be lifted, as they will go for longer trips using public transport where he can visit places he did when younger.


However, the best thing I can say is that I like the service so much that I have referred one of my good friends to use the service and they did.

I received wonderful care from the team for over 24 hours. One lady was kind, caring and mature in her approach. She gave me invaluable help and was always ready to go the extra mile. I couldn't believe this was her first day.
Another lady is a lovely support worker with a sweet and gentle nature.
She, too, exuded a quiet confidence and was a reassuring presence. She would make anyone feel ten foot tall but in a very discreet, encouraging way.
You couldn't have provided two support workers better able to look after me. Together, they ensured that I recovered quickly from the hospital experience.
Events coordinated everything, so the arrangements ran smoothly. Her personal touch was evident in her call outside office hours, and the next morning to check all was well.

SweetTree set very high standards in all aspects of care provided. From the person that answers the phone/admin staff to the quality of the carers that they employ - it is obvious that they expect (and achieve) this standard of professionalism from all their staff. Most importantly, all the staff empathise
with clients (and their families) and truly ‘care’ for them. Our experience of the SweetTree carers are that they are punctual, hardworking and are always willing to support our needs. They have built excellent relationships with us and we regard them as almost part of our family.

We would just like to say that when we engaged the Care Service Manager and her great team, we could never have imagined how dedicated she and her team would be in giving such care and consideration to my cousin. My cousin has complex issues and from the beginning addressed them with courtesy, diligence,
great patience and understanding. The rest of the team also complement the work that is being done to in changing my cousin's life, outlook on life and her environment, for the better. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
The staff at SweetTree are a credit to your organisation and we are most grateful for the ongoing support, care and constantly going the extra steps to help my cousin.
Thank you so much. It's so good to know you're there.

We have found the carers from SweetTree to be generally kind, skilled and reliable. And the admin and management staff also try to accommodate changed or additional needs whenever possible.


The reason I have put "good" not excellent" for the management team was because they did not succeed in finding

us a driver with a car to take our mother out - but that was a very difficult task.

Excellent, sensible carers, well-organised office team, and highly thoughtful case managers. Do a terrific job in caring for my mother in her own home. She is elderly, quite physically incapacitated, and suffers dementia; a demanding and complex client. The whole team are responsive to family input
and careful to maintain the client's independence to the fullest possible extent whilst understanding her limitations.

Since having had a fall in May 2015, my mother now 94 has required 24 hour live in care, and I arranged for Sweet Tree Home Care Services to provide this care. This care has been much appreciated by my mother and by my wife and I, who are now much less worried than when my mother was sometimes on her
own. The carer and those who provide the care during periods of absence such as holidays have behaved professionally and kindly, while the focused support, advice and involvement of the care manager has been invaluable in ensuring my mother's welfare and comfort as constant attention is paid to the care plan, and it's implementation not only by the carer but also by the care manager, additionally. The carer is available to my mother on a long term basis so valuable continuity is achieved. The agency shows great attention to detail and best practice and, as in so many areas, this is the key to achieving excellence.
