Enjoy the comfort of your own home with Goldstar Care Services reliable and professional care staff. They are one of the leading care providers in the UK with ever-growing branches offering visiting care – all with family values at heart.

With an experience of home-based care services for more than 10 years in England, they firmly believe that if you want to stay at home to receive care - you can - regardless of your location or condition. You don’t have to move into a residential care home. They support you to maintain your chosen lifestyle and believe that each customer is unique, with their own individual preferences and needs.

So Goldstar Care Services provide you with the home care and support you want, in exactly the way you require. It is your life and your care, so it must be your way. There are many benefits to get care service at your own home. The main advantage is that the person receiving care can stay in the environment they’re most familiar with. They can be around the people and things they know and love best. Getting used to a new and unfamiliar environment is difficult at the best of times. Coupled with the disruption to routines and lifestyles, such a move can cause significant amounts of distress and not just to the individual – it impacts the whole family.

Goldstar Care Services provides you with a fully managed live in or visiting care service. Unlike an introductory agency, they are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. They manage every aspect of your needs for total peace of mind, including regular supervision and ongoing training for their carers.

Their experience, size and scope mean they have an unrivalled network of carers, nurses, social workers and trainers. Every family is different and so this capacity allows Goldstar to be responsive and flexible.

Goldstar has provided a very high standard of care for my mother, and I'm satisfied with their performance. We've had a lot of sudden changes, with hospital trips at short notice and having to take my mother to various specialists, and the manager and her team at Goldstar are always able to accommodate,
no problem is too much for them. They've also got a great network of carers throughout the area, so with other agencies, I had enquired with, they put us on a waiting list while they searched for local carers, but Goldstar had people ready straight away. For a care service provider that offers flexibility, experience and professionalism, I can't fault Goldstar Care Services. Great job!

We find the Goldstar Care Services easy to approach all staff from Management to Administrators. Service provided by them and their care staff is reliable, professional and their carers adjust to the changing needs of my husband as his disability progresses. The manager of Goldstar listens and discusses
any issues that come up and does her best to make adjustments and come to an amicable solution whenever possible.

We have worked with this family for the last two years providing care to the person who got Parkinson's. The wife is very professional and approachable if the carer needs any help or information during their shift. The same carer has been working for the last two years and quite attached to the service user and his family. Feeling grateful to have this service user!

We have used Goldstar for many years and will continue to do so. The management is well-led and responsive to the ever-changing needs of my father who has dementia. The staff are caring and respectful.

The service user is with dementia and my staff are happy to look after him. He treats staff with respect and family has a very good understanding. We are happy to have this family for the last three years now!

All carers are very well mannered and responsive to enquiries and care needs of my parents. They are helpful and polite and respect the dignity of their clients when providing care. They provide daily updates on how my parents are. The management are also always responsive and happy to help with any
queries. We as a family are happy as we know that our parents are in good hands.

Reply from Parita Harrison, Director at Goldstar Care Services Ltd

We feel fortunate to work with this family and provide live-in care services. The family really understands if we raise any concerns and treat all my carers with respect and love. The elderly couple themselves are very co-operative and treat my carers as their own children. Great family to work with!

I would like to say a big thank you to the Goldstar care services and a special thank you to the carer for all you did for my family. I miss my family terribly and because of COVID haven't been able to visit and help them when they needed me the most due to COVID. So thank you for looking after my Dad
for a short period and my family for three weeks. It has to take great strength of character to help people taking care of themselves and to organize their life essentially when you don't know the family. The carer has been our great support as such a difficult time as we lost our Dad to COVID. She was the strength for the family not only making sure they eat and stay hydrated but also prepared meals which she had never made. Carer made sure each visit she would clean and wipe surfaces and provide feedback to assure me how my family is coping during each visit. Thank you again for being there for the family. God bless and keep you safe.

Reply from Parita Harrison, Director at Goldstar Care Services Ltd

We are extremely happy to take this opportunity to provide care to this family who was Covid positive. The carer was treated with respect and recognition for her work. Would like to provide care in the near future if requested.

Great care team with professionalism, empathy, punctuality and experience. In the testing times for our family, Goldstar Care Services Ltd was there for us with tailor-made and focused care. I am particularly impressed with the manager and deputy manager for their prompt and hands-on approach to solving
issues that may arise. Both have been very approachable throughout the time I have been using their services for my parents since 2019. My hats off to them and I thank them with my deepest respect.

Reply from Parita Harrison, Director at Goldstar Care Services Ltd

Very nice family and my trained care team is learning more and more every day from the next of kin. We are quite grateful to this family to appreciate and motivate our team on every occasion. The next of kin is always available to support the carers and resolve the issues.

Goldstar has provided an ideal care package for my mother having discussed her needs in detail beforehand. They have been flexible as the relationship has developed and their communication has been excellent, including a free messaging phone chat group, so that I'm in constant touch with the whole care
team. The carers themselves are reliable and hardworking and my mother has taken to all of them. Goldstar started the care within days of our first meeting and I have been extremely pleased with the whole setup so far.

Reply from Parita Harrison, Director at Goldstar Care Services Ltd

The service user is very friendly, supportive and kind to Goldstar's team. She always appreciates our effort and says, "Thank you for your help" at the end of each call. We are very pleased to provide care to her. Excellent service user!

The carer assigned to my father has been exceptional. To give an example, she does not just feed my dad. She ensures that he is sat properly so that his food can be properly digested. My dad spent weeks in the hospital - often unwilling to eat. This carer was the only person who could encourage him
to eat. She takes the time to have conversations with my dad, keeping his mind active and treating him with dignity. When this carer came to look after my dad in hospital, the hospital staff have greatly respected the carer. However, she was also strong and assertive in protecting my dad when it was needed. Recently, my dad's friends came to visit him in hospital and they were all so impressed by the Goldstar carer. They asked in shock: "Is this provided on the NHS?!" I had to explain "No, if you want this carer, you have to hire them from Goldstar!" As we requested, the Goldstar carer keeps us fully updated via a mobile chat group - which gives so much peace of mind when we are at work.

My family and I have been very happy with this agency, the boss, and all the staff.
The boss has been so helpful from the beginning when she visited mum to assess her in hospital and since then in regards to providing the care help fast and efficiently.
Also by being flexible and most understanding,
with regards to any changes that we requested whilst fine-tuning mum's care package.
The carers have all been time-efficient, most helpful, understanding and kind.
In a nutshell, they have been giving mum the care needed and expected.
So all in all, we are super happy with this agency.

The family is very kind and gives respect to all my care team. We all feel so welcomed to work for them. Carers are quite happy and always ready for their shifts for this family. Feeling proud to have them in our company as service users.

Goldstar Care has been very professional. The live-in carer they provided has empathy, patience, kindness and diligent in caring for my mother-in-law, who is suffering from Dementia as well as Physical Immobility. It gives us every confidence in engaging their services.

Reply from Parita Harrison at Goldstar Care Services Ltd

The family is very kind and supportive. It was an amazing experience to work with this family. Daughter-in-law is an example herself, who is very kind and taking care of her mum-in-law round the clock. Our service user was very good and supportive too. Many thanks for providing us with an opportunity to prove ourselves.

A great service provided. They really care. They really take the time to know me personally. They always smile and are happy to help. They take the time to listen to my needs and wants. They are flexible and always pick up the phone especially when I need them in the hospital. I really like the fact
that I can communicate with them in Gujarati, which makes it easier.

Carers are very punctual, always on time, very polite and kind to my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law is very particular and hardly satisfied but she is very happy with the carers of Goldstar Care Services. Same carers come every day and know their job well. All are highly trained and qualified. In
short, I can say 10 out of 10.

My mum has two amazing Gujarati speaking carers. They care for her beautifully, keep her happy, enable her to enjoy things, cook and feed her Gujarati food and support her to go to the day centre regularly. They also allow her to celebrate all Hindu festivals as well as Christmas and New Year gracefully.
Excellent services at an affordable rate.
