Unique Senior Care has been providing my aunt with daily care for the last 2 years. In that time I have got to know the individual carers that go in daily and help my aunt with food, medicine and general wellbeing. They are always punctual, caring, and a pleasure to be around. Unique have always been
on hand to support, talk through anything in a crisis and generally be part of the family. Thank you all so much! We couldn't support my aunt without you.

I am very happy with the service Unique Senior Care offers. My mum has carers come in three times a week for an hour to check on my mum, who has Alzheimer’s. We started these visits so Mum would be having mental stimulation talking to people as she was experiencing sundowning moments in an afternoon.
It certainly helped her. I would recommend Unique Senior Care to others.

Unique provides daily care in the afternoons for my father who suffers from Alzheimer’s. This care has successfully provided a measure of respite for my mother and has eased Dad’s path through the sundowner period. Unique have impressed with their ability to finesse the hours of this care as the caring
requirement has become more defined. In large part, this is because of the excellent communication derived from having a friendly single point of contact at their main office; e-mails and phone calls have been dealt with very quickly. We have been pleased with the attention Unique pay to successfully matching their carers to the customer; Mum and Dad both enjoy the company of their selected carers.

All the staff are so helpful and understanding. My parents both suffer from vascular dementia and as a main carer, I find some days very difficult. All I have to do is pick up the phone and they can normally fulfil any wishes I have. The carers show loads of patience and compassion towards my parents,
always giving them time to fulfil tasks. I literally sit back and let them do their job. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have been a client with Unique Senior Care since December 2021. I am in my early thirties so don’t let the 'senior' bit put you off!
I have a complex condition which requires double-up care for moving and handling and so much more. I have a regular team of Unique carers who are so lovely and so
skilled that they work seamlessly with my PAs from a separate company. This has significantly improved the quality and continuity of my care to enable me to live my best life.
My dog also absolutely adores my Unique team and waits with excited anticipation for their every visit!

My father has a variety of needs, centered on support and companionship. Although his needs and hopes vary, partially due to confusion at the age of eighty-eight, Unique Care respond swiftly and with huge levels of support. Knowing they are always there, provides security and comfort to my father but
also to his family and friends knowing they assist proactively and reactively as needs require.

Thanks you for writing to homecare.co.uk with your really positive review. We are thrilled to hear that the team have been able to adjust to reflect his daily needs. We are always keen to ensure that we provide a service which not only meets his expectations, but also reduces the anxieties for family members too, and you have kindly confirmed that this has been your experience. Thank you once again.

My mum was very resistant to putting any kind of care in place, but Unique Care have provided friendly, reliable people. My mum has a regular carer and backup carer, whom she has come to know and now relies on this service weekly and looks forward to the shopping trips and the company. The team answer
phone calls quickly and are great at giving advice. They are experienced and understanding about entering someone's home, especially someone who is not keen on the idea at first. We absolutely recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review, which is really appreciated. It is heartening for us to hear that we have addressed your Mum's resistance to care and that things are meeting her (and your) expectations. Our focus is always on doing the best for our clients, by providing the most appropriate caregivers from our team, who are carefully matched to their individual preferences. Thank you too for your kind recommendation.

My mother was so set against having a carer, however, Unique has worked wonders. Unique paired a particular carer with my mum after careful consideration and now, from being so set against having anyone looking after her, she looks forwards to her visits and is comfortable with the carer giving her
a shower and getting her dressed. The carer is seen as a friend rather than someone who is doing a job. Definitely one in a million. Many thanks.

Mum was reluctant to have carers for years but, after a spell in hospital, finally agreed to some help. We've been really pleased with Unique Senior care both for overall customer service and the carers going to help Mum. A service that provides huge peace of mind!

I have just had a leg operation. I use Unique twice a week to take me shopping or to have a coffee. After my operation, I had a live-in carer for four days and three days, three times a day. They were excellent and gave me peace of mind as my family work. I had excellent carers, nothing was too much
trouble. They are my friends. Thank you so much.

From July until November, I needed first of all daily help and as I improved, help was needed less. Everything has been done to the highest standard and all carers are kind and supportive. Receiving a monthly timetable was useful and punctuality good. There is little more that I can say other than
I would recommend Unique Care most highly.

Having looked for suitable carers, it was hard to find reliable people. I contacted Unique Senior Care and although it's early days, straight away it feels as though they have always been here. My Dad is well looked after by experienced, personable, caring people who are also local. Great find. It puts

We have used Unique care firstly before my father passed away to support my mother with his care, and now sadly also with my mother who has Alzheimer's'. The two main carers are wonderful. One looked after my dad and is now looking after my mum, and is a great friend to my mum and goes over and above.
The second, who is newer, has been brilliant at supporting Mum in her diet and so many other things. I don't know the others so well, but have no complaints. The office has been great at managing the various medical appointments. I would definitely recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to write in with such a detailed and positive review of our service. Your positive endorsement is clear in that you have returned to us to care for your mother following the positive experience you received from us caring for your father previously. The confirmation of consistency of Caregiver is a value that we truly believe makes the difference for all of our clients and is something we are particularly focused on. Our service is personalised and the fact that you have referred to one of our Caregivers as a friend is also reflective of our focus on ensuring a quality service. Thank you once again.

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

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