I am really pleased with the care provided by Blossom to my Dad.
Blossom has been helping Dad for a few months now and he, and my Mum, have nothing but praise for the carers they have had at the house. They have told me how hard all the carers work.
A few days ago, I arrived partway through a carer
visit and the carer was multitasking as well as chatting to Mum and Dad. It was lovely to see.
The notes on the app are a real help when I don't live nearby.
Thank you to everyone at Blossom, which includes staff arranging rotas/checking notes/responding to phone calls as well as all the carers who help to support Mum and Dad in their own home.

Up until today, I would have said the service was good. The carers are mostly lovely but the directors are very poor. Today they have decided to give 5 days' notice to withdraw care because we won't sign up to a direct debit. We have always paid bills, immediately on receipt, after checking the invoices
and prefer to pay this way. So far there had not been any discrepancies so payment had always been immediate.
They have not given any thought to the well-being of my mother-in-law, or to the effect that the withdrawing of care might have. They have given less notice than they expected from us for any changes. In summary, I would not recommend them.

Blossom provides daily care for my Mother in Law, mainly social visits with housework and general company as family does not live locally. The app is excellent for me to keep up to date with how she is each day. Recently she had a flood and the staff member was amazing throughout. I feel better knowing
Blossom is taking care of my loved one and trust them to do so.

The team at Blossom Home Care Northallerton offer a wonderful service. The care given by every member is superb and this gives my family total peace of mind that our mother is being looked after in a dignified and personal way. The management of the team is outstanding, ensuring high standards are adhered
to, especially throughout the pandemic. I am able to check on their daily visits through a wonderful app which is very reassuring. I am welcomed to contact them with any request and they ring me with any concerns they have straight away. I would highly recommend them.

Wonderful service from Blossom Home Care Northallerton carers. A friendly, efficient and very professional group of people who treated my husband with dignity and humour, and made a difficult situation much easier. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Every visit was uplifting for both of us and I
appreciated their friendship and support at a difficult time. I would highly recommend them.

I would like to thank the manager for doing a wonderful job. Everything was in place when my mum came out of a short stay in hospital. Night carers, four double up carers. They were all so kind and compassionate. As a family, we could not have asked for more. We have been a client with my mum and my
late dad for several years. After several weeks of all these carers and calls daily by district nurses, she still tested negative for covid. Thankyou blossom, we can't thank you enough.

As this was the first time my dad needed carers, we were both unsure how Dad would settle, but all carers have been excellent and very caring. We would definitely recommend Blossom to other friends and family.

Care staff are extremely good at their job. They are very friendly and deliver a good service. My father was unhappy about needing assistance, but now it is the highlight of his day, ensuring he can remain in his own home.
