The carers are caring, and professional and treat one with dignity and are helpful. Our day teams are exceptional. The company bends over backwards if the patient has an early hospital appointment and they arrange for the carers to have the patient really and on time for the transport arrival.

I cannot thank Enabling Care For You Ltd enough for the amazing care they gave my mum. They were kind, caring and treated Mum with dignity all the time. I can't fault their care at all. Even when Mum was end of life, they still came four times a day and chatted and cared for her like they always had.
When they had to call to tell me Mum had died, they were just so lovely, I was so relieved it was them that told me and not anyone else. Mum could be tricky at times but they always showed her nothing but kindness always.

Reply from Philippa Potter, Registered Manager at Enabling Care For You Ltd

What a lovely review. The review brought a tear to our eyes. It was a pleasure looking after mum throughout her illness. She will always have a special place in our hearts. I love it when we hear that Enabling Care For You's mission is achieved and the ethos of the company is achieved.

Ladies and gentlemen that care for me are very good. Very helpful, make sure my DVD player is ready for me to watch before they leave. I cannot grumble as the company always helps and support me in the ways I require. Great routine of carers. Without carers I couldn't do anything. So thank you all.

I have been using Enabling Care For You Ltd for my mother for sixteen months I have been very very happy with the care and support my mother has received in this time. On the whole, except for holidays etc, the same two teams of carers attend every day. I think this is important as they have formed
a good relationship with Mum based on familiarity, trust and good care. Nothing is too much trouble and they take the time to chat with Mum and make her laugh. Alsothe management are very good and I feel I can speak to them about anything and I will be listened to and it will be dealt with. All in all, Enabling Care For You Ltd is a company who genuinely care for their clients need and mental wellbeing.

Reply from Philippa Potter, Registered Manager at Enabling Care For You Ltd

Thank you so much for such an amazing review. Mum is a pleasure to work with and we are always happy to go above and beyond to make the individual happy. I'm so pleased the company ethos is reaching the individuals we care for and their family.

We have had and are having extremely sensitive care from all the carers who continue to look after my husband. He was discharged from hospital almost five months ago for home nursing. His is a complicated case but has been eased by all the wonderful support from Enabling Care For You Ltd carers. Sadly
he has now reached the palliative carestage and I am grateful to have the experienced professionals help and guide me and show so much compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend this agency.
