My mother was treated with respect and great care; she was listened to and was advised on the approximate time the carers would be with her the next day, and the list goes on.
My mother was provided with a regular caregiver who she got along with very well, and this put a smile on my mother's face
whenever she attended. Throughout the service provided, I had no concerns or problems and would recommend SureCare (Reading) to look after loved ones with dignity and respect.

My husband has been cared for by SureCare Reading for the last three years, and they have been extremely professional and flexible when needed. The communication has always been great; from the office team, and I was always kept up to date with any changes in care or staff. I am lucky to have SureCare
caring for my husband, and I appreciate all the carers and the office do for me and my husband.

At the moment I have wonderful carers, they are patient, encouraging, caring, talkative, just lovely people. When they are off for a few days I get two carers who don't treat their job as a caring profession. I have had to tell them to speak to my husband as he sees no one during most days, except me.
When walking him to the bedroom, they hurry him along, even though they have plenty of time. I had to tell another carer when my husband asks him a question, they should answer.
No 1, they should be told to talk to their clients even they don't answer.
No 2, be patient, they have plenty of time.
No 3, explain this is not a free service. We have to pay quite a lot towards it.
No 4, without the clients, they would be out of a job.

Reply from Kim Takhar, Manager at SureCare (Reading & East Berkshire)

Thank you for your review, I am pleased that you are happy with the regular care workers; in regards to the carers who are not regular, we try and keep this to a minimum and unfortunately, as discussed, care workers can not work 7 days, so you will have different carers attend to provide time off.

I would certainly recommend this care provider to anyone. They are very patient, caring and always provide a consistent standard of care. In fact, they are the first care provider that doesn't rush to go back through the front door as soon as they arrive. I have nothing but positive feedback on the
level of care provided to me so far.

Several months of care from SureCare now, and the manager and his team have really helped my Mum to stay safely at home with the support she needs. I am impressed that they can take charge of medication, assist with household tasks, take my Mum shopping, to her GP, and to her great enjoyment, take my
aunt for walks around the area. As well as the regular support, and creating a very good relationship with my Mum, SureCare has responded to urgent situations well, in one case with the manager finding extra support when it was needed at short notice overnight and at the weekend. Thank you.

Enjoy the carers attending visits. One carer, in particular, is intelligent and talks a lot to my husband during the call. Good bedside manner.
