The regular carers are very good and they look after me very well and the management keeps in touch to make sure that all is well.
I think after having the care system I have improved greatly.
They are always on time and caring.

What can I say other than the service is absolutely fantastic, so caring and competent with mom. Mom's eyes light up when the carers come. The client and carer are so well matched. Would recommend the company to friends and family.

My elderly and very infirm mother has been under the care of the wonderful Carefour Home Care team since February 2024. From my first contact with the local manager who conducted the initial assessment, I have been impressed with the high level of professionalism and total dedication to clients exhibited
by all Carefour staff involved in the care of my Mother. The carers who directly look after my mother are brilliant with all the tasks they carry out, but more importantly they are all authentic individuals who genuinely care about their work and their clients - I have total peace of mind I know my mother is in very safe and caring hands!

My wife receives an excellent service from all her carers. They are caring, sensitive and treat her with dignity. Her confidence has grown thanks to the way they are supportive of her. She looks forward to them arriving as she relaxes as they make her feel calm. I feel supported by them as it gives
me time to go shopping and do other errands.

Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care started with my mother twice a day about two months ago and I've got to say there has been a noticeable improvement with her general mood and also her ability to maintain her independence. Mum thoroughly enjoys the company of the carers that visit and in her words,
'enjoys the company, a laugh and a giggle!'. The carers are reliable and friendly and all extra help they give is definitely appreciated.
Carefour staff really do make the world of difference! Highly recommended!

We contacted Carefour Home Care and Live-in Care to arrange care for my elderly mother. The communication from start to finish was amazing. The manager talked through all the details and explained the process making sure everything was handled to our liking. She answered all the queries I had promptly
and made sure we were happy with everything. I felt it was about putting my mother as a priority, something that was very important to us as a family. The care that has been provided has been excellent and offers us comfort that all is well with our mother when we can't be near her. She has commented on how much she enjoys the ladies' company and support. Thank you very much Carefour.

I’m not usually one for writing online reviews but I just wanted to show my appreciation for everything that Carefour Home Care have done for us, dad really has become fond of all the care team. I can’t thank the office staff enough for all their help and organisation; the level of care provided can’t
be faulted in any way and I have already recommended you to others.

After having a poor experience with another provider I was recommended Carefour Home Care by a family friend when looking for a care package for my elderly aunt. Throughout the whole process, and from my initial contact, the Carefour team could not have been any more helpful, answering all my (sometimes
trivial) questions and putting my mind totally at ease and as a result, I am now confident that a dear family member is receiving the valuable care that she deserves and needs. Thank you Carefour, I will definitely be recommending you.

I started using Carefour Home Care when I wanted to visit friends for 4 nights. My daughters 'found' Carefour and a charming lady was provided to look after my husband who suffers from dementia and very poor mobility. I could not have been more pleased with the service provided by the carer and all
the admin staff. I will definitely be using Carefour in the future.

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

    The Average Rating of 4.900 for Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.9

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Carefour Home Care & Live-in Care is based on 10 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 + 0.1 = 5

  • 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.

I am proud to have been with Carefour from the beginning and I instantly shared the vision of the owners to create a caring, compassionate and safe business, which would look after clients and staff alike.
