The agency provided care for my father between March 23 to December 23. The carers treated him with dignity and respect during a distressing time when he was suddenly diagnosed with end-stage cancer. We would like to give particular thanks to the carers who went above and beyond to make his time as
comfortable as possible. The family feel so lucky to have had such genuinely kind carers. Lastly, we had regular contact with the Manager both on the phone and home visits. She made it very clear she was there to help and provided her mobile in case of any issues. It was very reassuring to know she was there for support and easily contactable.

Reply from Yvonne Brown, Manager at Flexserve Home Care

We are grateful we could all help in such a difficult situation. Thanks to you and the family for working with Flexserve carers and the Management Team, as an effective team to support your father comfortably during those challenging times. Thanks for your review.

Generally speaking, my experience has been okay with the service provider. I have a good relationship with my carer, and the communication is great, but the time is the only issue as I would prefer it to be early, but the carer comes in at about 11 a.m.

Overall, I am happy with the care services provided to my father. The carers are helpful and professional. Due to my father’s dementia, too many different carers can sometimes be difficult to his routine, but it is great to have our regular carers as often as possible. Thanks.

I have liaised with Flexserve for several years now as they provide support for an elderly relative of mine. The carers visit 3 times a day and the level of care is very comprehensive. Morning involves getting the client out of bed, washing, providing breakfast and issuing the medication. Lunchtime
is providing a meal and issuing medication. Evening is providing a meal, issuing medication and putting the client to bed. The client totally relies on the carers, they always turn up on time whatever the weather. The relationship between the client and each of the carers is excellent which is of utmost importance.
The carers and the management office always get in touch with myself when the need arises. They are readily available when contacted at whatever time of day and are very professional.
Summing up. I would thoroughly recommend FlexServe in every respect.

From our experience with the carers, they have been good so far they have done a great job in taking care of my dad everyday. As me and my mum are the primary caregivers, it has been much easier with the help of the carers.

The carers helped me to care for my husband in the final four weeks of his life. He had terminal cancer. They afforded him dignity and autonomy in the final month of his life. Their support meant I could revert to being his wife again, not consumed by caring duties, and gave me some respite. They were
compassionate and helpful- kind to our five-year-old son. They were never intrusive and always respectful of my husband’s needs and wishes. I am extremely grateful to both of them for enabling my husband to die with dignity, pain-free and in a clean comfortable bed.

At the end of last year, my brother passed away, leaving Mum on her own as he was looking after her.
I was left trying to find care for her. Mum is awaiting a hip replacement and is in so much pain that she is now in a wheelchair.
The carers come three times a day (this can be increased after the
operation) to help get her out of bed to wash her, shower her, dress her and to make her breakfast, dinner and tea.
My mum often phones me in the day and says that she's had a lovely dinner or shower.
It gives me great peace of mind knowing that she is well looked after.
The care and support my mum has received has been invaluable especially at this sad time.
I have found the carers to be compassionate and comforting to Mum and Mum looks forward to their visits
If Mum is unwell or if I have a query they are just a phone call away and are always ready to help in any way they can.

Flexserve provided three times daily care to my mother-in-law for more than three years and live-in care for the last 6 months or so of her life. My mother-in-law and the family were always treated with the utmost consideration, patience, kindness, dignity and professionalism. The manager was accessible
and responsive: she succeeded under sometimes difficult circumstances in providing continuity of both care and carer as far as possible, which made a huge difference to my mother-in-law's wellbeing and to our peace of mind.
Strong and lasting relationships were forged with several of the carers and we have been happy to recommend Flexserve to a number of friends and neighbours who have had need of care, sometimes at very short notice.
As a GP, I am well aware of the challenges facing care agencies in providing this essential service to vulnerable patients and their families. I feel Flexserve has risen to these challenges better than I could possibly have wished for.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.673 for Flexserve Home Care is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 55 Ratings = 4.673

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Flexserve Home Care is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
