My brother has had care from continued care for the past 3 years. The care has been incredible. All the carers got to know him well and understood his problems. Management was always easy to contact and helped us out on many occasions. He is now moving into a care home and tells me he will miss his
friends at Continued Care. The care was outstanding and nothing was any bother.

Reply from Amanda Ramsay, Registered Manager at Continued Care from Oakville Ltd - Harrogate

The care I have received over the last month has been consistently kind and attentive. They have helped with my daily morning tasks, such as hair washing, dressing and food preparation, as well as some household tasks such as laundry and hoovering. Their approach is always gentle, making sure I feel
safe and comfortable in every situation. I feel respected at all times and their kindness and professionalism has greatly contributed to my well-being.

Continued Care provide an outstanding service. My mother and I consider that we are very fortunate to be clients.
Just an hour a day over the last 6 months has made such a positive difference to all aspects of Mum's health and well-being. Due to Continued Care's support, she has maintained her independence
in her own home with her dog. Mum is left to get on with the things she enjoys.
Mum looks fwd to the visits from the team. From the social aspect alone they are great value. However, the care is holistic, including nursing aspects, shopping, tidying, keeping on top of prescriptions, appointments, organising varied and nutritious meals, etc.
Despite living 70m away, I feel much more in touch with mum as communications with Continued Care is very good. The app is a great application of IT. Occasionally, I receive a phone call regarding mum but these are infrequent and always justified. I will sometimes need to email Continued Care to pass on information, these are always responded to promptly. Communication within Continued Care is very efficient.

We had 8 visits from Continued Care from Oakville Ltd - Harrogate. These visits were used to shower my husband, after he sustained a broken collar bone and wrist. The carers were friendly and efficient. They introduced themselves and treated my husband with due consideration. Privacy and respect for
my husband, were given at all times. If my husband needs carers in the future, I would not hesitate to contact them again.

All the staff are friendly, kind, very helpful and professional in their work. As I only gave poor in the options on value for money, I, and probably others, only needed 15 minutes per visit but minimum is 30 minutes. I feel the staff could be using their time in more needy cases.

Whenever I see a Continued Care car driving around, a smile reaches my lips. Continued Care (CC) provided immense support to Mum and I. We transitioned to Continued Care after the HHC Arch Team had done their amazing work. CC was flexible to meet my and Mum's changing needs. They came in once or twice
a day to give Mum personal cleansing (I was in charge of meals and meds!) and generally provided Mum with a lift as she was bed-bound. She enjoyed their visits and the quality of engagement from all the team was exceptional. I was freed up to work from home and get other household tasks done. It was fun to stop and have a chat and/or cup of tea with Mum's carers - nothing was rushed, and everything was done with a smile and real consideration for Mum as she became less well. Eventually, with time, Mum moved to the hospice and the process of ending the care visits was seamless and stress-free. At a very difficult time for the family, CC provided an outstanding service and I am truly grateful.

After my dad passed away I was recommended your company to provide care for my mum. I live 250 miles away so knowing that my mum has carers coming in 3 times a day offers me a lot of comfort and eases the worry. The carers are so diligent, polite, great listeners, and good company for my mum. I find
the Birdie App extremely useful as a way to check in and see real-time scenarios.
We are now into month two and to date the service is excellent and highly recommended!

Discussed the importance of monitoring medication dispensing dose and amount that I don't drop any. C/A going to send an email out and add to the task last discussed introducing more carers as sometimes there is a lack of carers who are used to me. The review went well.

Excellent service. Everyone on the team was very responsive and also very patient as we had to navigate through a changing scenario when sometimes help was needed and sometimes not and we managed it remotely. We are very grateful to be able to access such a great service when we could not be there and
it was a huge relief. Mum enjoyed the company and was very happy with the carers.

On behalf of my Mother Continued Care continues to provide a great service. They are reliable, efficient, and kind to Mum. They complete all tasks within amazing times and their App plus regular texts/calls retain close communications. I have no complaints. They drop in to provide occasional evening
care when needed.

Real help following a bad fall in November. My wife is a long-term Parkinson's sufferer. Being able to be at home in familiar surroundings has helped her recovery.
CC ladies were superb! Nothing was too much to ask of them and we learned useful tips e.g. using the stairs, bathing and washing, etc.
Daily visits were like meeting a friend each time!

My regular carer is very good and I am happy when she comes regularly. I do understand though she cannot work 7 days a week and must have her holiday time. We have been together for two years now and I hate the thought of change.
