Have been using Horizon for quite some time having two carers at the same time. Most times and on a regular basis a male carer for my husband who has vascular dementia and a female for me as I am disabled. Now all of a sudden they say only one carer is needed this is not good as my husband is used
to his carers and I must say all the carers are fantastic plus I am paying privately. Carers are again fantastic but the staff i.e directors/staff have no idea what they have done. I can put up with change but my husband can’t, he doesn’t understand and it has taken a long time for him to get used to the carers that deal with him. It’s a pity the staff in the office couldn’t come and l see how hard it has been at times for my husband to build a rapport with the carers.

Care and attention very good. Punctuality in actual times cannot be guaranteed as difficulties may be encountered with previous client/user. Very friendly carers. Perhaps a little language difficulty which is easily overcome.

Reply from Kelly Heale, Recruitment Officer at Horizon Care (South West) Ltd

Thank you so much for your feedback and recognition of the challenges we share. If a client call takes longer than scheduled this can make clients later. If a carer is later than 30 mins always call the office and we will send a Community Manager to start and complete the call. "No one goes without their Care" is our Rota Manager's motto. We are very proud of our diversity and have many employees who are not originally from the UK. Wearing masks is of course another barrier to communication for everyone and is not part of our uniform. It's vital that we are hiring and retaining the best people for our clients which is why feedback, training helps us measure our success and how we can improve. Thank you so much for your feedback, I look forward to sharing this with all employees. Kindest regards

The carers are wonderful. 10/10 with the exception of the bed making skills of a couple. The finished job is to be seen by mother all day in her room and no matter how often we ask the management no improvement is seen. I have written and telephoned the office - no reply/response. No contact possible
over all the weekend.

Reply from Kelly Heale, Recruitment Officer at Horizon Care (South West) Ltd

Thank you so much for your feedback, to pass on feedback like this (10/10) to our Carers that are working so hard and round the clock in all weathers is much appreciated and I'm sure will be received with gratitude. In respect of the bed-making feedback please feel free to contact our HR Manager if you would like to escalate your complaint so we can ensure that we get this just right and update the Care plan as required. We do operate an on-call service out of our office hours and over the weekend, which is for emergencies. However, your original feedback should have been acknowledged and addressed so apologies for any breakdown in communication on our part, it has been a busy year with pressure on everyone. Kindest regards, Kelly at Horizon

Horizon Care has been providing care for my husband for nearly six years. Although there has been a turn over of carers in that time they have been consistent in their kindness, responsibility and general care. There are, of course, small problems occasionally, but generally, we feel very fortunate
to have the care provided by Horizon. The management also tries hard to keep us informed.

Reply from Kelly Heale, Recruitment Officer at Horizon Care (South West) Ltd

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that our Carers who come to help are consistent in their approach and qualities for the several years you have been with Horizon Care. That means an awful lot. In-respect of continuous improvement and development we aim to keep the rota as consistent as possible. Thank you so much.
