The care provided for my son over five years was exemplary in every way.
He was always treated with dignity and kindness.
His health and well-being were always the most important thing.
His carers became his loved friends and we felt they loved him too.

Reply from Paula Hayes, Registered Manager at CARE4U2DAY Ltd

It has been an absolute pleasure to have supported and become good friends with your son, the carers really miss him and his funny wit, and he will be remembered forever.

My daughter is 23-years-old, I have looked after her all this time, then CARE4U2DAY encouraged me for some help and some rest for me. I know I made the right decision choosing CARE4U2DAY staff, and especially the manager, as we get on very well. All the carers call out hello as they enter my home.

We've been happy since working with Care4U2Day, the carers are attentive and the effort is spent getting to know Mum, what she does/doesn't enjoy and spend the time talking with her as well as caring for her.

This care company is outstanding for all the right reasons. The level of care given and provided to clients and family involved is above and beyond and excellent on all levels. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, to help and support, from top management right through to the office staff. If you're
looking for a care company for yourself or your loved one, I cannot recommend them highly enough. What a diamond they all are. Just fantastic, couldn’t find a better company for my dad. Keep up the amazing work you all do.

We only used CARE4U2DAY for a short while, but they responded to our needs quickly, and the carers were all extremely good and reliable. In addition, they offered good advice and support in getting improved support on equipment provisions and GP services.

As this was the first time we had used this service, I feel it could have been better, some days they were late getting to my mother and once she was forgotten as the main person had to attend, not happy. I feel as we were new, they could have made better effort to gain future visits.

Reply from Katrina Collins, Operations Manager at CARE4U2DAY Ltd

Dear Neal, thank you for taking the time to post a review for Care4u2day Ltd. This is much appreciated. However, I am anxious that your review could be misinterpreted and would like to clarify matters. I can confirm at no time was a Care visit forgotten. Our Registered Manager specifically attended a number of Care calls for your mother as the Care package was for a short duration for respite care to help your family. With regard to your comment on timekeeping, I would ask you to note that there is a 30-minute window either side of each Care appointment in order to accommodate all eventualities for our vulnerable clients. Our records reflect that our Carers attended within the designated time frames for each Care visit. Please forward our best wishes to your mother who was hugely popular with our Care Team.

Our friend has a large package of care including sleepovers. The carers are very aware of her needs and are quick to pass on any concerns. She is very anxious but reassured when the carers are there.

Our family is extremely thankful we found CARE4U2DAY to visit our parents on a daily basis to help with their needs. The team has been extremely responsive, caring, and reliable seven days a week. They arrive promptly and show great care and understanding of the personal help they need, as well as
ensuring their home is kept beautifully clean.

I have a daily visit from the CARE4U2DAY team, they cheer me, up and sometimes do the shopping and do the things I can no longer do for myself. I am ninety-nine now, and I am very dependent on my walking stick indoors.

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
