Guardian Angels Spelthorne are the best care providers we have ever had. Due to my son's complex needs, we had to be sure the care was the highest level. For over a year, their service has provided him with professionalism kindness patience and humility. Every caregiver without exception is excellent.
We recently had an emergency with a feeding tube and I went into panic mode over the carers remained calm reassuring and professional. I have had other agencies over a number of years that ranged from just about acceptable to Ok. Guardian Angels are in a league of their own where caregiving is concerned. From the extremely helpful office team to the carers providing the care I would highly recommend them.

Thank you so so much for your kind words and review! We all truly love visiting you and your son and are so glad you look forward to seeing us too!

Very pleased with the service and support from Guardian Angels. Mum had a fall and needed care put in place to enable her to return home. Guardian Angels team were great and found a way to help at very short notice. Mum was quite wary about having 'new' people in the house, however, the friendliness,
professionalism and adaptable approach of the carers to meet Mum's needs quickly allayed any worries she had. Mum now looks forward to their visits and speaks very highly about the carers who look after her. We are grateful that we found the Guardian Angels team and would highly recommend them.

Reply from Louise Cobban, Director at Guardian Angel Carers - Spelthorne, Elmbridge and Runnymede

Thank you so much for sharing your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Guardian Angels has been able to support your mum during such a challenging time. It's wonderful to know that the carers' approach helped put her at ease. I know the carers enjoy Mum's visits as she has a great sense of humour. We're also happy to hear that she now looks forward to their visits-it speaks volumes about the care and connection they've built. Thank you again for recommending us; it truly means a lot, and we're so grateful to have been able to help. Wishing your mum continued comfort, support, and care in her own home!

The Guardian Angel team have been a great support and help for Mum and Dad over the last year. Our lovely ladies who visit are always kind, friendly and reassuring, treating our parents in a positive and respectful manner. They arrive happy and engage our parents in jolly and current conversations.
They understand both of our parent's needs and cater to this effect, whilst respecting our parent's house routine. Mum and Dad look forward to their visits and we are so happy this has been a positive experience for them. The office staff are always happy to talk and ensure the care is what we need and quick to help if more/less care is required, making changes quickly and positively. Our family are very grateful for all the help we receive from the whole team.

Thank you so much for your kind words! The CareAngels absolutely love visiting your mum and dad, they're such a warm, happy couple, and it's always a joy to see them. Mum's thoughtful gesture of offering a hot cup of tea is always such a lovely touch and the girls truly look forward to their time together. We're so grateful for the opportunity to care for them!

Guardian Angels has provided care for my father over the last eighteen months.
They have been at all times both professional and caring.
My father has become increasingly disabled over this time.
At each stage, Guardian Angel has provided the extra care he needs.
Simply the best care agency in Surrey.

Thank you for your review, I know the care team are looking forward to seeing Dad more regularly and during the week now not just the weekends while he gets back on his feet, let's get him back to lunch on the balcony in time for summer!

Generally good, sometimes there are changes in my mum's hours. I have noticed that no one has ever notified or communicated with me that there are changes to the times of carers going in. When looking at Mum's notes some of the care has not been achieved as my mum has Alzheimer's disease and is now
refusing care, I feel and wonder whether the care team are properly trained in knowing how to deal with someone with Alzheimer's Disease.

Reply from Louise Cobban, Director at Guardian Angel Carers - Spelthorne, Elmbridge and Runnymede

Thank you for your review, we are pleased that on the whole you are pleased with our service and so grateful for your constructive feedback. We're sorry you don't feel there is communication with your schedule. We do email you a schedule in advance each week, which is opened, however, we are always happy to look for other ways of communicating this and make improvements. Our carers all receive Alzheimer's training. What we do know, is that for people living with Alzheimer's, it really is unique to each person the care they receive and not a 'one size fits all' approach works. Sometimes this can take time, innovation and thinking outside the box to achieve tasks and other activities or sometimes we are unfortunately unsuccessful.

The care providers have transformed my well-being by taking on the arduous daily tasks, and my daughter loves the attention. The staff are excellent time keepers, cheerful and clearly love their job. The company provides effective record keeping, and the care schedule for the following week is sent
promptly and is easy to read.

Right from the outset when Mum first realised she needed some extra help the whole team from Guardian Angels were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The ladies who came in were always punctual, kind and very conscientious. The office team were incredible especially when sorting out extra care
when Mum came out of hospital and needed just 'that bit extra'. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of the team. Mum and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for first-class care.

All the carers that visited Dad were always kind and friendly. They all took time to talk with Dad and added notes on the portal to keep us updated after each call. Sadly Dad passed away so we only had the careers for 8 weeks but they were always caring and did whatever was required of them on each
visit. On the day Dad passed away, they spent time with us at such a difficult time. It always felt that nothing was too much. Thank you for all you did for Dad.

Guardian Angel Care supported my mother over the last 12 months. The entire team at Guardian Angel Care (from my initial contact, the office team and the carers) were exceptional. My mum was initially reticent to have "care" but really came to see the value it brought her, and us (her family) in allowing
her to remain in her own home, with her beloved dog. This was my mum's biggest wish. It also allowed her family to spend quality time with her (not running around doing jobs)! She came to really value the care, attention and social interaction with the carers. She had her regular favourites, of course, but they were all outstanding.
I would not hesitate to recommend Guardian Angel Care to anyone thinking of using their services.

Since my first phone call enquiring about starting care for my mum, Guardian Angels have always been flexible, professional, happy to help and above all caring both to my mum and myself. I have already recommended them to someone else. They have helped ease the load for me as they take Mum to hospital
appointments for me too. They are worth the money for peace of mind.

All the carers were very pleasant and very helpful. They got me through the first month of my recovery from my accident with kindness and cheerfulness. It was most helpful to have a schedule of visits, and everyone came on time. Should I need help again I would not hesitate to contact Guardian Angels.

We moved care for my parents to Guardian Angels from another company. There was a huge difference in the quality of staff, their training and sensitivity to my parents needs. As things have moved on we have gone from day time visits to live in care. We are very happy with our GA carer, they allow my
parents independence but keep them safe and happy.
The team in the office are always on call if I need to discuss anything with them.
I would thoroughly recommend them.

My mother's health deteriorated after a chest infection in March and she was spending most of the day on or in her bed. I was visiting 3 times a day. Guardian Angels stepped in at short notice to provide the care needed. Her schedule has settled down and she generally has the same members of the team
at roughly the same time each day, providing continuity. Being able to see their notes after every visit means I can keep an eye on things.

My real concerns are twofold, to be honest:-
1- several times in weeks gone by, my father has recently had many different carers and this week for instance on the schedule there are 5 different named carers.
2- we originally asked for a slot 09:00 -09:45 but the carers are turning up much much later
at the weekends, usually it is gone 10:15 before anyone shows up and on the schedule this week on Sunday it is showing as an 11:00 start and there is one start at 08:30 which is if no use to Dad at all.
I have emailed complaining but as yet not had a response/reply.

Job Title: Business Owner

Joined: 2018

As a child, I was fortunate enough to grow up with my grandparents having an active role in my childhood. I have fond memories of my grandmother collecting me from school, and many a summer's days with my grandfather helping him with the gardening and in his workshop. Having reached their 90th milestones I can see how it is now my role to give back to them all the love, care and support they gave to me all those years ago.


I admire our elderly community for their bravery and commitment, and strongly believe it is my duty to support them in their time of need; for we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. I, like many others, didn’t leave school with my career path set out in the care industry, but looking back I can’t believe I had never considered it. I feel very lucky to be able to combine a career with my passion for spending time with people and improving their quality of life.


This is echoed in the ethos of Guardian Angel Carers, which is why I wouldn’t have chosen any other company. Our unique, personal and exemplary service is exactly what our loved ones deserve. And together with friends, family and other healthcare professionals, it is our goal to support those in need of a helping hand to live independently at home.

Job Title: Operations Manager

Joined: 2021

I have been part of Guardian Angel Carers for almost two years and have been recently promoted to the role of Operations Manager. I feel that my previous experience in customer-facing roles has hugely informed how I deliver the core values that we pride ourselves on.


The world of care is an ever-changing environment and our commitment and dedication to adapting to the needs of our clients and carers is paramount to ensuring there is no loss of service to our operation.


By focusing on our core values I can help deliver a professional service in a personal way. The client is at the heart of everything we do here at Guardian Angel Carers and this has been recognised in the local community when we were the proud winners of “Franchise of the Year 2022” at the Spelthorne Business Awards.


By offering a heart-centred approach to every element of our service delivery, I believe we will always achieve the optimal outcome for all parties involved.

I have worked in the care industry in various job roles since early 2013. Prior to this I worked in retail; mainly in customer service which gave me a strong skill set to carry forward into the world of care. Nine years later, I am still in the industry and I have worked as a Carer, Care Supervisor, Care Co-ordinator and have gained knowledge and experience in Complex Care.
I like care because of the development and growth that can be achieved; there are always new things to learn. I am currently on my two-year pathway to becoming Registered Manager which will give me valuable experience, knowledge and understanding of the care needs in my community.
