I cannot speak highly enough of the service and care provided during what was a very challenging period for the terminally ill person who required it. The speed at which Karis Care responded and set up the care required. The carers were exceptional, giving amazing support and building relationship with
the person being cared for. Thanks to the level of care and empathy provided it not only helped the person concerned but us as a family.

Our 24/7 carer was like a knight in shining armour - her arrival was very timely and made the world of difference to me. Unfortunately my father passed away within 9 days of this new care package starting, but even in that short time she brought him great comfort and the whole family adored her. She
was extremely competent and kind and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her at the end. I definitely recommend Karis Care Company to anyone.

Everyone at Karis Care were so helpful and responsive, often at very short notice. Only one tiny glitch in the admin which was quickly sorted. The fact that carers were local made a big difference to how responsive Karis could be to my mum-in-law's needs.

The professionalism and compassion of the manager and her team started from initial discussions and continued through to my father's last trip to the hospital and hospice. Their patience and care for Dad and consideration for his family, as well as their competency, was excellent. Always aware that
they were in my parents' home, they were supportive but not intrusive, and flexible when we needed to change schedules. I would not hesitate to recommend Karis to anyone looking for support.

Exemplary care of my beloved wife from February 2021 until her passing in November 2023. My wife was rendered paraplegic after an operation, and thus seriously disabled. She also suffered from severe PTSD which meant that caring for her was sometimes difficult. Her carers quickly learned to make her
comfortable and serve her needs and my wife grew fond of those she knew well.

Reply from Judith Mazonde, Registered Manager at Karis Care Services

It was truly an honour to care for your beloved wife during such a significant chapter in her life. We deeply appreciate your kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to have been part of her journey!

The support and care which the live-in carers, other support carers and the management team provide to my mother is amazing. The way they manage my mother's difficult and complex medical and personal needs is nothing short of excellent. The relationship and trust they have built with my mother and the
family has enabled what is a very difficult situation to be able to managed so well. They go over and above what you would expect and understand the complexities of dementia so well, enabling them to help with all the challenges such a difficult disease brings.
The carers are compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive, kind, helpful, organised, and experienced.
The care team feel like an extension of our family and we will be forever grateful for everything that they do.
Thank you so much.

After a 3 week hospital stay, my mum came home to the friendly face of a member of staff, who was to become my mum's 24/7 carer for the following weeks. Mum's carer made such a difference for us all. I could immediately relax because it was obvious how capable and kind she was and made a very stressful
time bearable. We will always be so grateful for the care and kindness that Mum received. Thank you.

From the outset, the live-in carer was warm and responsive to my needs and anticipated well. The carer was very well organised and arranged the many items need in labelled draws. The handling of my medication was timely and effective and help shown when needed to my family members in feeding me.

During the final ten days of my Grandmothers life, she was looked after twenty four seven by one of the Karis Care Services Ltd carers. The carer was excellent and put the family's mind at ease knowing that my Nan was being looked after by someone so professional. Nothing was too much trouble and she
kept in touch with me to let me know how things were and she phoned around the family when she felt that there was a change in my Nan that could be indicating the end was near. In those ten days my mum, sister and I developed a strong relationship with her and she became a significant part of our lives. On the night before my Nan passed away, the carer told my Nan that she was going to bed and my Nan asked her not to leave her alone, the wonderful carer sat up into the early hours with my Nan during her last night on earth. To know that she wasn't lonely on that night means the world to my family and I. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Karis Care Services Ltd and thank them for being fantastic at their job.

Karis Care Services are a blessing to the Convent of St Lucy. The quality of service, friendliness of staff and their positive attitude, on-going knowledge of client's needs and involvement in care planning are excellent. Communication for Karis Care Services is key and greatly efficient. Management
are readily available should an unfortunate matter arise and it is then dealt with appropriately.

I have been very happy with my mother's care.
Her live-in carer is very attentive to her needs and is very professional in her practice at all times.
Her manager has kept me informed of things such as changes and problems and we have resolved them together.

It became obvious from the start that the manager of Karis Care was motivated and interested in my father's care. Every aspect of the homecare was managed with a high degree of compassion. The care workers employed were excellent and nothing was left out. My father owes his last few weeks at home to
the staff of Karis Care who provided such an excellent service. Thank you.

My wonderful father died in July 2018 with MND. The care that Karis homecare gave my dad was everything you would want at such hard times. They were professional and understanding people making my dad feel at ease giving him the care and support he needed. I am so thankful to the carer for his support
my dad was able to remain in his own home throughout his illness which meant so much to him.
Thank you so very much.

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 4.854 for Karis Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.854

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Karis Care Services 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
