Service and care above and beyond expectations! Dad was found on the floor in a mess, the carers cleaned him up to protect his dignity and called the ambulance, and stayed with him. He was able to stay home luckily, and the carer who was meant to have the afternoon off, did some shopping and got a prescription,
and visited the pharmacy for him. Also, took his washing home to do and make him diner! So impressed with Guardian Angel and really happy to recommend to others, it's such a comfort to know that Dad is in good hands.

We are very impressed by Guardian Angel and happy with the service they provide. My mum's carers have genuine affection and interest in her, and my mum trusts them. They look after her personal needs very well, but also do the washing, ironing and cooking for my parents, which is a great help to me.
I have confidence in the carers and know they will do the right thing.

My aunt lives alone in Chichester as she has survived all her contacts and friends. My sisters and I have Power of Attorney but I live in Swindon and she lives near Bath. We contacted Guardian Angels on the eve of lockdown about a daily visit and not only did they agree to it there and then, but started
the care the following day. A carer has visited every day and my sister and I could not be more grateful.

My mother received excellent care from Guardian Carers, she looked forward to trips out and chats with her carers. I was kept informed of any updates in mum's situation and if a carer had any concerns. I would highly recommend Guardian Carers for their professionalism and most importantly their kind
care.

My father was hospitalised after a fall recently. His carers found this out and stayed with him in A&E until he was seen, one of them visiting on her day off. We were pleased to see this commitment to his welfare.

The carers are generally well trained, kind and efficient. However, there are many different carers, and a-regular carer would be preferred. Also, the time that they come is often altered without consultation. 8.20 am is the best time for us, and recently this has been altered to 8.45 am without consultation.

I have lived at home with a live-in carer for 18 months now. During that time I have has many carers ( well over a dozen) and they have all been excellently trained and made me feel "special". It has been interesting to learn about their own lives and the places they've come from, as well as them taking
an interest in both me and my family. Some of the carers are not accustomed to cooking, " traditional" or simple Eglish food, however.

Guardian Angel Carers work hard to meet the needs of their clients. They work to the highest standards. Their communication is very good. The only area for improvement is to mail out the weekly care rotas earlier so that clients without access to the internet can discover when their carer will arrive
on a Monday morning.

Carers are respectful, conscientious and professional. Home has a caring vocation. They seem on occasion under time pressures as a result of too tight a travel time between calls, even without congestion on roads. This can affect the level of care delivered, but as a rule, this is not to the detriment
of the client. Supervisory visit good - but talking in front of client on other matters should be discouraged.

We have used Guardian Angel Carers for six months. They are very well organised, and communication with clients is excellent. We have has a variety of carers, all of whom have been very competent, caring and have taken the trouble to familiarise themselves with the patient's medical history, and interests.
They always arrive on time, and we are notified well in advance of any changes to the rota. Carers are kind, sympathetic, very patient, and we feel they are competent to deal with any emergency.

Mum has had Dr's appointments over the last month or so, which my siblings and I have been unable to encourage her to keep. She has not attended two or three recently.
Today, mum has been with a Guardian Angel Carer, to see the GP, and shared with my sister that it was all good. I have no doubt that
without the Angel who visited today, this would have been another mother unwilling to go. We thank this carer a huge amount for her support for mum today, and for Guardian Angel, who have provided some reliable, supportive, and great care this year for mum. Their great service hasn’t just made just a ‘small’ difference, they continue to do so, each day they attend, and Mum looks forward to them visiting and helping her. From us, we thank you all immensely.

I have been delighted with the care I have received. Guardian Angel Carers have saved my sanity by providing night care for my husband who has Parkinson's with dementia. The staff have been responsive, pleasant and helpful. All the carers who have come overnight have been experienced and I have been
very happy to leave my husband in their care. I recommend the agency wholeheartedly.

Reply from Vikki Craig-Vickers at Guardian Angel Carers - Chichester

What a lovey review and we are so pleased as a company that we have been able to provide you with some relief and support. I know the carers get on very well with your husband and it is a pleasure for them to be able to spend some time with him while you get some rest.
Please feel free to get in touch if there is any further support we can provide.

I cared for my mum alone for many years until it all became too much and I was struggling to cope. It was extremely hard for me to take a back seat and even more difficult for mum to allow others to care for her. Every Angel that has visited mum has been amazing and I am now able to go to work each
day knowing that mum is in safe hands and will be well cared for. Guardian Angels Carers are professional, reliable, friendly and most of all show great care and compassion. My mum’s quality of life has been greatly improved by the positive attitudes of the Carers and the exceptional care that they provide.

Very happy with the care my mother in law receives from Guardian Angel Carers. The carers are always very friendly and well trained, they call ahead if they are running late but are mostly on time. The office team are very friendly and helpful.
Brilliant service overall.

We have an unusual package as I also care for my father as well as having a live-in carer when I am not here.
The live-in carer is excellent and professional and genuinely cares for dad.
The day carers covering dad's personal care when I live in, generally they are good, but some need more prompting
than others. May be the care plan needs more detail.
The office staff are polite and helpful but there needs to be more communication between them and the carers. Not getting rotas or notified of changes to rota.

Overall the level of actual care is good. The office people are not always obliging in responding to calls re times of arrival and changes in the rota.

Mavis,


Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services. I am personally looking into making sure all clients are informed of any changes to their planned rota. Please do get in touch with me if this continues to be a problem.

Since employing Guardian Angel Carers in April, we have been very pleased with our main carer. She is always on time, polite and extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. She is a pleasure to know and we look forward to her visits. Cover, when she was away on holiday was a bit unpredictable
but we coped.

I am very happy with the care I receive and my carers are very kind and chat away about current and local things which are happening and often having a good laugh. One thing which would be helpful from the staff is if they could let me know if there is a change of carer coming, who it is and what time
to expect them.
