Just as Covid-19 lockdown began, we were introduced to Constantia Care by Social Services for our first experience of live-in carers. I have been very impressed with the support given to my husband, aged 59 years, who has a chronic neurological disease plus autism. The agency is run efficiently by
people who are enthusiastic about their jobs, work as a team and who communicate well. They genuinely listen and have provided carers who have been ‘a good fit’ for us. We have received a reassuring daily policy update email from Constantia Care, plus a couple of “how are things going?” phone calls. As the carers work full time, seven days a week, they have come to us on six-week contracts, but I know the agency will do its best to rotate staff so that longer-term client/carer relationships can grow in time. The charges are fair – certainly good value in the context of the care industry as a whole - especially given the good level of training and knowledge the carers have. Recommended!

We have been using Constantia for over 2 ½ years for the care of friends. One had Vascular Dementia and was supported until the end of his life. Now Constantia continues to provide us with Live-in Care for his partner. Constantia focuses strongly on its customers and their care workers, supporting both
the client and their carer. The entire team will always go the extra mile efficiently and with the needed emotional support. This is valuable because care is a very demanding service and needs to be adapted for each client’s needs. They provide a holistic approach to care, taking care of our friend’s physical hygiene daily routine, as well as providing an emotional stimulus and balance. Constantia understands the needs of this household and is providing us with the required high-level service. In this time of the Covid-19 we are so very pleased to be a client of a company that has informed us daily and has a Zero-Case report of any related casualties nor infected cases. We highly recommend.

From making the first contact with Constantia Care, I have been impressed by the professionalism, efficiency, compassion and humility of all the staff involved in providing the care to my mother.


The information provided form each carer has been succinct and whenever there have been queries, these

have been dealt with expediently.


We have had no complaints whatsoever about the level of care my mother receives, and she is exceedingly happy with her present carer.

We have used Constantia Care for 18-months for our mother, who now has advanced dementia. We have been very grateful to have the same excellent carer all this time. Constantia Care staff have always been approachable and helpful with their advice as dementia progresses and changes have had to be made
in the home.

My mum had care for approximately 3-4 months. Constantia Care kept in contact with you, updated with information and did checks for progress along the way. They were available by phone/email easily and were always courteous, upbeat and polite. The carers were also excellent. Treated my mum with kindness,
compassion and patience which was what she really needed. They helped encourage her with her rehabilitation exercises and getting her moving again. They were more than just people who came in and washed and cooked for you. We had one career that hadn't done anything wrong but my mum just didn't take to her. Constantia Care had no problem whatever with changing and got a replacement immediately. They really do seem to have an eye for employing good careers.

The care provided for my mother over the last 2.5 years has been exceptional. The carer was very professional, extremely caring and always put my mother’s needs above anyone else's. The patience and undeniable devotion meant my mother enjoyed life as best she possibly could and she and the carer formed
a very strong bond despite my mother’s severe dementia. Constantia have always been very responsive to our needs and we would have no hesitation in recommending them for providing a care service.

We recently used Constantia Care to provide a live-in carer for our father whilst our mum was away for a few days. The care he received during this time was outstanding. The compassion, attention to detail and level of general care given was explempery and surpassed our experiences with all other care
providers used previously. The fact that our dad was being cared for to such a high standard gave my siblings and I great reassurance in our mum's absence.

We have used Constantia Care a few times now for our father who has advanced dementia, and we have always been extremely pleased with the high level of service we have received. The carer was amazing with dad - very caring and professional and went over and above to ensure our dad was well looked after.
Our dad is at a very vulnerable stage in his life, but he constantly gave us reassuring updates and maintained the highest level of care throughout. We would recommend this company to anyone seeking a live-in carer for their loved one - and after having a few mishaps with other companies in the past, we finally feel our dad is in the safest possible hands.
Thanks, Constantia Care!

We employed the agency for 6 months during 2018. We made it clear at the initial interview that long term care was required and that consistency (ie same carer) was essential.
Carers sent were generally very good indeed but instead of remaining long term they changed every few weeks as were either
going back to South Africa for holidays or had other commitments. We subsequently learned that the carers working for this agency are self-employed and the longest contract they can be given is for 6 weeks at a time. ..also that they often work for several different agencies as well as doing private work.
Despite many promises, we never did achieve consistency of care (even after agreeing to have a rotation of 2-3 carers who would be permanent).
The constant changes were incredibly unsettling and time-consuming. In addition, we were sent accounts intended for other clients on 2 occasions as well as being sent incorrect accounts.
We eventually gave up and opted for employing privately.

Constantia Care provided a carer for my mother in December 2018. We have been delighted with the quality of service provided by both the staff and carers. Not only is the care provided exceptional, the carer is always very polite, professional and caring at all times. She has become a great companion
and my mother is very comfortable and happy with her and the care provided.

The carer provided by Constantia Care Ltd for my husband was amazing. She was kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. Our domiciliary carers have even commented on how thorough she was! I will continue to use Constantia Care Ltd as they have given me the confidence to be able to leave my husband and know
he is safe and well looked after in his own home.

We have had a live-in carer since early 2018 and what a real difference this has made to all our life’s. My grandmother's mobility has definitely improved and knowing that all her care needs are being met daily, is such a real weight of all our minds. The carers are all well trained and it’s more like
having an extra family member living with you. My grandmother is a changed woman and definitely enjoys the companionship the carers provide.

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 4.733 for Constantia Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.733

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Constantia Care Ltd 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.
