We started care with SureCare during the COVID epidemic and they have been absolutely first class. Everyone in the team has been wonderful from the first contact - extremely pleasant, efficient, kind and helpful. My husband's carers are perfect.
They are so supportive and attentive, but also fun,
jolly and empathetic.
I cannot recommend SureCare highly enough, especially during these tricky times. The carers are aware of the government guidance and all have the correct equipment.
Thank you!

Reply from Stuart Martin, Director at SureCare Oxfordshire

We have just moved across to this agency and its loads better than the old carers we had. The office staff really get what we need and I feel that my dad's care is a lot better. We had a thorough assessment and a lovely chat over the phone. They responded really quickly to our needs. The carer has
told us she’s really happy there too. It’s all working out really well. Thank you SureCare Oxfordshire for giving us confidence back in the system.

What a lovely team. Understanding, friendly and responsive. All staff are caring, efficient and know what they are doing. You call up and they already know it’s you. The carer told me they really invest in their staff and you can tell they know what they are doing. They even have a nurse in to do training
as well as someone in the office in charge of training. Good old fashioned values, we really like them. They flexed our package when necessary and we feel really happy with them. Worth every penny to have people you can rely on.

My father-in-law became very weak at the beginning of January and needed care on a daily basis. After one quick email over a weekend, SureCare were on site the following day to carry out an assessment and daily visits started a day or so later. This prompt and excellent service was much appreciated
both by my father-in-law and the family. SureCare published a daily rota of helpers a week in advance so that we knew who was coming and when, and all turned up on time, except for one instance when we were informed by telephone that she would be late. All the carers were friendly, professional and competent. We could not have asked for more. Excellent and well recommended.

SureCare Oxfordshire was recommended to us by a nurse and we also know someone else who has used them for longer sits. Our carer genuinely cares for my papa and makes sure he's happy for the day. We rely on this service as we live so far away. The office team has worked hard for us and we have been
really pleased with the service. You can see it is a good team running SureCare and we are so happy to have them help him. Thank you.

We have been incredibly impressed with the care and consideration shown by every contact we have had with SureCare. The directors, managers and office team have all kept us in regular contact with frequent updates about any concerns with my mother's situation (I do not live locally). All have been very
caring and also well-liked by my Mum. They have chatted, taken her out for lunch and coffee, helped telephone her shopping orders, and many small helpful tasks. I would unhesitatingly recommend them.

We have used other providers before, but they did get impatient with us due to the uncertainness of our needs of my parents - it is very changeable. SureCare have always done their best to accommodate our constant chopping and changing, and I have to say without exception the carers have been fantastic
ambassadors for the company.
Their manager and office team are superb, always happy to help and ultimately ensure our family are looked after.

Finding someone to look after our loved one has been quite hard as we didn't know what the process should be. We heard about them from a social worker. They were really nice when they came round and just gave us information and let us decide what to do. The best thing is they could start really soon
and that took a huge pressure off us all. So far they have been really good. We know that traffic around here is bad so if they are a bit late it's ok and they have called to let us know. We see a few different people and they are all lovely. They are definitely a good agency.

Care provided by SureCare is such a welcome relief after two years nightmarish experience of care for mother (who has an age-related dementia) with another care agency. On the initial visit, the Director noted in detail the needs of my mother. The next day the team leader introduced herself and one
of the carers who will work with mother. The main carer is brilliant. She is very professional, softly spoken and punctual. She has been dealing with mother compassionately and with lots of patience. I have nothing but praise for the company and their carers. They have relieved me of great stress and anxiety of not knowing who was coming and at what time.

SureCare came to our aid swiftly after we were let down by another agency. They were recommended by the local mental health team and they have not disappointed. My siblings and I do not live locally to our parents who require care; SureCare have taken all of the stress away from us worrying about
our parents and I cannot fault the professionalism, service and most importantly - quality of care.


Thank you to the team, outstanding.

We have been delighted with the carers who were chosen to attend to our needs. Our needs never seem to be too much and we're usually asked what other tasks we would like done, no job is too much. All carers are friendly and we really enjoy their company. They are our friends and totally trustworthy.
Support from the office is always first class.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.890 for SureCare Oxfordshire is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 100 Ratings = 4.89

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for SureCare Oxfordshire is based on 17 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • 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.

Kim

Kim Johnson

Job Title: Operation's Manager

Joined: 2019

Kim was recruited to transform our business. Kim is an experienced care manager and has worked across the country managing multiple sites. She joined SureCare to stay closer to home and was keen to get stuck into driving an agency that puts the client first. Kim was charged with ensuring compliance was excellent and her diligence and attention to detail were rewarded within her first 6 months in charge with a great CQC inspection report.


Kim's working hard to ensure all of our team makes a real difference in people's lives. One example is when she found that a family needed some additional support. Kim met with the family and spent many hours with Social Workers to release extra funding to enable vital work to be spent on their home to make it a safe place to live. Later, she gave the family the confidence to go on a day trip to the seaside by hiring a minibus and care workers and taking them on her weekend off. The children and Mother had not been out of the house together for many years. It was a memorable experience for them all.


A great example of going the extra mile and leading by example. Kim's kept our Service Users and team safe and well during the pandemic and we are really lucky to have an expert in care leading our team.

Emillie

Emillie Blackwell

Job Title: Compliance Manager

Joined: 2023

My first job was companionship care which I absolutely loved and knew that I wanted to stay in care from there, so then I applied to be a domiciliary carer and loved that even more, helping my clients daily made me feel so full.


When the opportunity at SureCare came up I thought that it was the perfect job for me as I am so passionate about care being delivered correctly and for our clients to be cared for and as happy and safe as they could possibly feel.


I am really enjoying this role, and have never felt so valued and appreciated in a place of work before.

Uzie

Uzie Paul-Ado

Job Title: Compliance Officer

Joined: 2023

Uzie joined SureCare in 2023 and has recently been promoted to be our Compliance Officer. She is of West African descent and has a background in HR and education, she is proud to bring that same compassion and dedication to her role in our team.


In her own words:
Joining the team as a carer, supporting clients one-on-one and gaining firsthand experience in their joys and challenges while providing person-centered care, all taught me the importance of trust, empathy, consistency and commitment of going over and beyond. I know that every small gesture—be it a comforting smile or a reassuring word/touch—contributes to a person’s sense of dignity and well-being.
Now, I draw on those experiences every day to ensure that our team upholds the highest standards of safety, respect, and quality in every aspect of our service.


My journey from carer to compliance reflects my commitment to creating an environment where clients feel secure and valued, and where carers have the support and training they need to excel.
I work closely with our team to monitor and refine our practices, making sure we are always meeting or exceeding regulatory standards while preserving our values - the commitment to supporting people through all stages of life's journey.


“At Surecare, compliance isn’t just about rules—it’s about trust.”


I believe that true compliance builds confidence, allowing families to know their loved ones are in safe, capable hands.


I consider it a huge privilege to support our clients and carers through both a heart for care and a passion for quality, which helps us deliver the safe and compassionate services our clients deserve.
