As we're new to having carers we have managed well with our live-in carer and myself doing this for two and a half years.
Things changed with Mum's condition and sadly after Dad's passing we needed extra help. Alcedo came highly recommended.
I have my own business and hear of problems with some care
companies so I was very worried about bringing carers in. But I'm very happy with my choice of Alcedo as my mum is my priority and I'm confident Mum is in good hands.

Alcedo came out to see us and explained everything to us about what care we would get. They were very nice when we met them, very polite and respectful to us. Since we started, the carers coming to the house are very polite, happy, funny, make conversation with you, respect us and our house. They go
above and beyond for us, they help anytime we need them, Alcedo staff are brilliant.
The office staff are brilliant, always there to help and to answer questions.

I had a holiday in Blackpool and whilst I was there Alcedo Care Blackpool branch took fantastic care of me. They came to my hotel twice every day to assist me, at the times I requested. The carers were friendly caring and very professional and the office staff could not do more for me. I would recommend
Alcedo Care to everyone.

We realise the challenges faced by adult social care providers and had no complaints about the standard of care we received from Alcedo. Even during the pandemic, they were reliable and the care was seamless.

A member of your staff called today to get a signature and while here my husband was in distress and needed the commode and bed. The carer got him sorted and into bed showing kindness and care. We were very impressed as we have been with the carers coming in the first few days

The carers from Alcedo Care Blackpool have been absolutely outstanding even more so as my husband is a 'complex case'. The carers are always on time, they are very efficient and caring towards me also. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my husband and also the help and respect to
me. It is nice to know that my husband is in very good hands and I don't have to worry about his wellbeing. Alcedo carers are beyond outstanding. We are very lucky to have them.

Finally, I just wanted to say a great big thank you for all the care Alcedo carers gave my mum. It was hard the first few weeks to let people who I didn't know come into my mum's home to care for her as no one you think can do it like you. How wrong was I? For 8 months we worked together doing the best
we could helping mum, I got to the point where I trusted them and I stepped back. Alcedo Care were amazing and looked to mum in the best way possible in every situation. They all became part of the family their understanding, tolerance when she was having a bad day, the laughter when she was on form. They always were there for me when I was upset and needed to talk. We got her from not being able to walk to walking with her frame again, it was a long haul but we did it, that's all she wanted. She was determined and a fighter. That dreaded time came for her to be reunited with my dad. So it was time for Alcedo Care to move on and I must honestly say I miss them all. Once again, thank you.

I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone. The carers are of the highest professional standard. The care is consistently high and the attitude towards me has consistently been one of dignity and respect. Each shift brings differently varied challenges for the staff and each member
of the team meets those challenges and deals with each episode appropriately. They are always cheerful and their attitude is upbeat and positive. When they leave I feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed looking forward to their next visit.

My grandmother was looked after by Alcedo, she had MS and was disabled, so she had very specific needs. The Field Care Supervisor and the whole team gave her excellent care and truly went above and beyond to brighten her day with many personal touches. She has sadly passed away now, and some of her
carers even attended her funeral. I am beyond grateful for the care she received in her final few years, thank you!

I have been with Alcedo now for over a month with the complex team who have supported my recovery all the way. The team of carers are amazing and support me with my daily activities and goes above and beyond. It’s great having nurses on hand to support the team with my condition. Myself and my wife
are always treated with dignity and respect. All issues are resolved promptly and professionally.

Alcedo started caring for Mum at short notice after her discharge from an extended stay in hospital due to Covid. I'm really happy with the attention to detail in setting up the care plan and with the way that it's been implemented so far. Mum typically hates change but has quickly become at ease with
the team of carers. The level of detail provided by the carers in the app keeps the family well informed and is very reassuring to us, particularly when we're unable to see Mum for a few days. Now that the initial trial period has come to an end, we are very happy to have confirmed ongoing care with Alcedo for the foreseeable future. Thank you!

What can I say about this company? My elderly Mum (91) was terminally ill and given weeks/months to live in December 2021. Her wishes were to stay in the family home, and subsequently, I made sure this happened. Mum initially didn't want any people coming in, but in the end it was necessary. All the
lovely staff that dealt with my Mum, really are a credit to the company. Their professional manner, and compassion at such a tough time for Mum, was second to none. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Mum took a particular shine to 2 members of staff in particular, who both went above and beyond their duties. Sadly Mum passed in April, but without Alcedo Care, I would have been lost in the end. You provided peace of mind, not just for me, but for all Mum's family. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I would wholeheartedly recommend your company to anyone that is looking for a top-level care company.

Overall, the carers we have had have been second to none, always going above and beyond to help my parents. In fact, one carer actually saved my mum's life on two occasions. The manager appears to have everything running like clockwork.

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 4.891 for Alcedo Care Blackpool is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 138 Ratings = 4.891

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Alcedo Care Blackpool is based on 24 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.
