Carers are struggling with PPE. So thin and cheap. Office staff don't listen to what you say or seem to care.
A carer broke my brand-new toilet.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

All staff are supplied with PPE that are to government standards. We will call in relation to your toilet as this has not been brought to our attention. We are however pleased you scored the staff and your treatment so highly.

Stressful. Was supposed to take some pressure away but created work with numerous phone calls and emails. Arrival times were not consistent and not policed/flagged when they were out of service time. Standard hygiene basics were not done, for example, wiping the commode seat, so I was wiping traces
of faeces myself after they'd emptied the commode. Didn't always do as asked/paid to do so I ended up doing myself. Took months to get them to change the bed sheets - for some reason, this was too much for the staff to do once a week but we got there in the end after a complaint - however, there is no complaint procedure in place. The company needs better controls in place to ensure best practice is adhered to and complaints are taken seriously and followed up with details of what to do next if you are not happy - eg the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Regulation 16.
A disappointing 9 month's experience.
The staff were ok. One in particular was attentive.

Service has gone downhill. Three days a week it's good when we have regular carers. There are a few really good ones but unfortunately not many. We have had some recently drench the bedroom carpet with urine, then left without saying a word. Others have refused to change his pad saying not dirty enough.
Constantly late which causes him pain, discomfort and exhaustion. He now will not get up unless he knows that it's going to be one of the good ones coming. When I complain to the office I am told they will get back to me but they do not.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

I'm sorry you have felt the need to leave a bad review. I understand it was addressed the incident in the bedroom and the care co reported her findings back to you. There has been vast roadworks in the area for the last 12 months which I agree have caused issues for the staff to get through. Hopefully, this will be rectified soon when they come to a close.

Three carers are good we have found, all others are not, will not do what I've asked at all. When reported to the office, nothing is done, no change, and when reported damage to a new piece of furniture, they fobbed me off, either they don't have liability insurance or think that's acceptable. The only
reason we didn't change is dad is moving soon, thank God.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

We are sorry you have felt that the care has not been adequate. I can assure you that the company does have insurance as stated in the service user guide and statement of purpose. As previously explained at assessment and after you called the office it was your responsibility to inform your insurance that you were receiving care. We wish Dad well when he moves.

Some staff need extra training (making beds, assisting patient). Late on calls up to two hours - could advise by phone if late or short-staffed.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

I'm sorry you feel that the service has not met your expectations. We try to contact all service users if the care worker is late due to sickness or other unavoidable incidents. The training is in the process of a new structure so improvements should be seen.

The majority of carers are good, however the recent new influx of staff have been a mixed group. Some have struggled to do even the basics properly and have resulted in a lack of confidence with the service user.
We miss our regular carers who have moved to different areas and for the first time when
rotas are issued, we do not feel comfortable when certain names appear. I am impressed with certain individuals however I would say the overall service has gone down of late.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

We are glad you are happy with most staff. The new staff have all been on the same training as all staff, however, we have already identified some issues to which we have introduced a day 6 training. We are hoping this will make you feel more comfortable.

I can't fault the carers - they are amazing, but, the organisation above is dire. Morning visits occurred up to 11;45 which clashed with lunchtime care. Absolutely a waste of mum's money as well as their time. An apparent 'System failure' meant no carers turned up 2 days in a row, with no contact or
apology, leaving mum confused and vulnerable after a hospital visit. Personally, I would avoid, unless the organisation gets their act together!

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

We are sorry you have experienced issues. Unfortunately, no contact was made with us about mums discharge resulting in her not receiving care.
Mum had stated that she was happy with any time am as she was purely a shower call with no meds or breakfast. We are very pleased however that mum enjoyed attending our Larry's Club and the Christmas meal last week.

We put in place a care package for my wife who needed end-of-life care. The manager came to our house and carried out a very thorough and professional assessment of her needs. The carer arrived on time as promised, and was smart and charming. She was exceptionally sensitive and caring towards me and
my wife and was gentle and knowledgeable in her care. I was extremely impressed and very grateful.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

My experience with my carers is usually good but sometimes I do have to wait a long time, often in the morning which disorganises the times for my tablets. My food is well done - thank you.

Our mother has been having home care visits from Manorcourt for a couple of months now. Communication with management has been very good and much better than we experienced with her previous provider. Mum says the carers are generally friendly, professional, kind and thorough and although visits can
occasionally feel rushed, she feels that the carers genuinely care about her.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

Thank you. I will pass on to the care team mums comments. We are pleased that all is going well and hope to continue with the same standard.

My carers have been my carers since last November, am I happy? You bet I am, especially with the two boys. They have become more than my carers, they are family. They are kind, supportive, honest and are a complete godsend. When says are tough, they keep me going and for that, I'm truly going.

Tonight’s service for my Grandad was very poor and I’m disgusted with how my nan was treated by your carers tonight. Two carers came in and decided to dictate what was going to happen and how it was going to happen. My nan can’t do everything, she only lends a hand when she can. Her back hurts, she’s
in pain. The carers are paid to do their job, supposed to come in and be respectful and help out my grandad and leave. One of the carers was quite rude towards my nan and when I stepped in and decided to say something, she was very rude towards me as well, which I didn’t like at all and my Nan didn’t appreciate it much either. They both left to do other calls leaving my poor grandad and returned 45 minutes later to finish off the job they were supposed to do earlier. I am disgusted and upset with how my Nan was treated and would appreciate it if it never happens again.

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

I'm sorry you feel that way. Each package is allocated time and unfortunately, on this occasion, grandad's needs went over the time allocated. Hence the team left and then returned. My team will make contact to discuss your concerns.

Overall happy with care my mother has received from all your staff.
Things have been more difficult in November with last minute holidays and general shortage of staff. We felt that some new employees were sent out without full training, also language difficulties

Reply from Anne-Marie Brown, Registered Branch Manager at Manorcourt Homecare (Norwich)

We are glad your are happy overall with the care. All employees have a full weeks induction training then shadow shifts before they start. We will look into your concern and rectify any shortfalls identified through additional supervision if needed.
