The lady reviewer was very pleasant and caring. She took the time to listen to my points of view. She made a few changes as the first review I had was not correct in all areas. However, things are still not entirely correct as I am not a sit-in service client. My carer is needed as a shopping service.
Please can this be rectified.

General care is excellent. Can't fault the regular carer. Sometimes small attention to detail i.e. not taking into account memory failure and eating difficulties when replacement carers are used.

We find our carer is very kind. Willing and cheerful and goes about her work very thoroughly. She is always punctual and keen it's obvious she enjoys her work. We miss her on her days off.

All carers have been very helpful, considerate and pleasant company whilst doing their job. The only problem is when carers call in sick, I was hardly ever contacted about the change and was left waiting, in this cold weather for us tp two house on two occasions before I was dressed.
A phone call to
tell of the new time would have been appreciated.

My carer is always cheerful, caring and thorough in her work. She takes time to ensure that I am happy with her care and always ensures that I am safe whether moving from my bed, chair or walking into the lounge.

Carers that visit my mother are caring, happy and smart. No problems since mother started having care last year. The office keeps us informed of any changes.

Without exception, my carers are people I regard as friends.
Regarding management, I do not feel qualified to comment except to say their occupation is the most difficult.

As it is the same carer most of the time this is good. Need to keep the manager more than it has been in the past.
