This company are amazing, we work together in giving correct care. They call me to let me know if she needs anything. They go above and beyond the company. I've had dealing with lots of companies but I truly believe this is the best out there.

The staff try very hard to please, but because the management vary the times of my visits, it makes it hard for me as I can't plan my day. I find it difficult to cope as I've had a stroke. However, the staff try their best to come at a time that suits me. Some members of staff are more helpful than
others.

The care overall was good but the management was appalling. The carers never stayed for the half an hour morning and night, no longer than 20 minutes were spent with me which is disgraceful considering I am having to pay for the half an hour.

Carers are generally good. New carers have a lack of training and are sent without introduction.
Large turnover of staff. Scheduling is all over the place.

My wife has dementia, double incontinence and is housebound. She needs help with washing, getting up in the morning and putting to bed at night. She receives this service through Holywell. The two carers who visit twice a day do a wonderful job of this awkward situation, they are kind, considerate,
joyful and make my wife smile. Nothing is too much trouble at this difficult time for both of us. To me they are angels, they brighten the house when they are here. A big thank you Holywell!

Reply from Sherry Mathews, Executive Assistant at Holywell Care Services (Morecambe)

Thanks indeed for your kind words, we are deeply moved by them. Your appreciation for our carers' dedication and kindness means a lot to us.

All Holywell staff looking after my mum are excellent, I can not fault them. Their time keeping is always on time and never go early, unlike other care companies I've used in the past. They are very kind to my mum and treat her with the utmost respect.
Holywell always go the extra mile when needed.
I would recommend them to anyone.

We used Holywell from May 2012 until early March 2017 when sadly my wife passed away. The care that she received was exceptional. My wife was bedbound and needed full personal care. The "girls" looked after her as though they were looking after their own parent which I will be eternally grateful for.
There was always smiles on their faces and had a joke or story for my wife. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend Holywell to anybody who needs a professional and caring set of "girls". I will never be able to thank them enough for all they did to make her comfortable in her last days.

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.

    The Average Rating of 4.182 for Holywell Care Services (Morecambe) is calculated as follows: ( (37 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 77 Ratings = 4.182

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