My 96 year old aunt was discharged home from hospital 4 weeks ago. She is very frail and we do not live nearby. Radfield carers visit four times a day and provide all of my aunt's care needs.
Without exception, the carers are friendly, respectful, punctual and efficient. I have experience of working
in adult social care and know this is not always the case. As a family we are just grateful to feel reassured that she is being well cared for and that the service is totally reliable. In addition the manager frequently supports us with additional tasks such as liaising with district nurses and GP as well as supporting us when we are transporting her to hospital appointments.
We want to thank Radfield staff and carers for the excellent service you all provide and I would not hesitate to recommend your agency.

Reply from Samuel Holmes, Director at Radfield Home Care Bexhill, Hastings & Battle

I just wanted to say thank you from the whole team for writing such a lovely review. I'm so glad we have been able to support your aunt in so many ways and that the services has met your needs and expectations. Thank you once again, I will share your kind words with the team.

My experience with Radfield has always been positive. Care received by the client has been excellent and staff have always appeared courteous and caring. Nothing appears to be too much trouble. If a problem arises it is dealt with quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Radfield to anyone looking
for home care.

The care provided for our mother by Radfield Home Care was of the highest quality for care, attention to detail, kindness, cleanliness and everything! The staff used their own initiative, checking Mum’s skin and if needed, would moisturise and many other small gestures that made a big difference. They
were very good at writing in the book we left out for communicating if we weren’t there and their manner with our mother was respectful and friendly, always finding time to have a chat with and showing an interest in her garden and family. They packed a lot into their allotted time but never seemed rushed. All very reassuring that our mother was in the best hands.

I have found all the carers very kind and helpful. They are so willing to do whatever I need at all times. My two regular carers have become very good friends of mine and we enjoy a short chat at the end of their visits about items of interest that we have in common. They come just in the early mornings.
I am 95 years old and still living at home alone. I could not manage without their daily visits.

At the start of my sister's illness, when we were doing our best to cope at home, your help was invaluable when you were called several times urgently at unsociable hours of the day. Don't think I thanked you before, but do so now with many thanks and gratitude.
Where my carers are concerned, one is
exceptional in showing lots of initiative and caring. Others vary but must be pretty good, but feel some need more training.

Very happy with the service from Radfield Home Care. All the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. No problems with punctuality and the team is small enough to ensure my mum sees the same faces regularly. Would highly recommend if you are looking for care for elderly parents.

Radfield have been extremely helpful in supporting my mother and father at home. They had been struggling for a while and once we gave them a call, the assessment was arranged quickly and (very helpful when dealing with parents who keep changing their minds about having help!), and the service started
within a few days. The team have respected my parent's wishes whilst also encouraging them to have help where needed. I don’t think many elderly people want to accept they need help or that their children might not be the best people to provide it. Radfield have been very understanding of how delicate the situation is and I have been very impressed with all the little touches to help smooth the way. Thank you everyone for what you have done.

This was the first time I have ever asked for help and I was unsure what to expect, I must say, I was more than pleased with my time with these lovely people. They always came on time with smiles on their faces willing to help in any way they could. If I needed help again, I would go to Radfield and
would tell my friends to do so too.

Radfield Home Care really looked after my mother had a fall and broke her arm. It was easy to get the support setup so that Mum had some help preparing meals, washing up and changing her bed sheets. The staff have been very friendly and helpful when I've met them.

Radfield looked after my grandmother. She had visits every day to wash, dress and go out for drives. Our family could see what they had got up to on the app which was a real peace of mind as she has dementia and would often not remember! I would recommend Radfield to anyone looking for care for their
family.

Following surgery on my left shoulder and a broken clavicle on the right, I was in desperate need of help. As soon as I contacted Radfield, I knew I would be looked after. The office staff are understanding and helpful, and the carers are amazing. Although I no longer need personal care, I maintain
contact with one hour a week for cleaning and company.
