They believe that with the right care in place, every person, young or old can live with dignity, security and companionship in the comfort of their own homes.

I don't live close by and constantly worried about my relative. It was hard to know which Home Care service to choose as I was unfamiliar with any of them. I am so pleased I went with Rest Assured. They provide a very reliable and responsive service. I read updates on the app and feel at peace. I highly
recommend this company.

One member of staff in particular has been helpful, pleasant and willing to undertake tasks as they arise. I am hoping to extend my time away to make use of the full respite care period as my wife gets accustomed to the visits and I am sure that will happen successfully in time.

I am so glad we chose to use Rest Assured. In order to return home rather than going into a care home, Mum needed 2 carers 4 times a day but from 1st contact with the agency, her needs have been assessed and dealt with in a professional and caring manner both by the managers and the care team
The
carers themselves are exemplay, treating Mum with care, compassion, dignity and humour - it is lovely to hear them all laughing with Mum on their visits, and she regards them all as friends.This has made a very difficult period of her life so much better. As my sister and I don't live locally, the app enables us to be fully informed of the daily visits which is very readjusting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this agency.

Following my Fathers 3 week Spell in hospital we had to engage with a Care Company on his release. From the moment I contacted Rest Assured they took the lead in the process and helped us get our Father home. The carers are amazing, respectful, prompt, and take the time to make sure my Father and his
wife have everything they need. Rest Assured also uses an "app" that allows us to see which visits are planned, and what happened on the visits including medication taken and any concerns during the visit, this is a great comfort to have in place giving us full visibility.
A Huge thank you to the Rest assured team.

My dad, who is 92, was very pleased with his friendly daily visits and this allowed myself and my wife to have a week away without worrying about him if he was to have a fall or a problem with his diabetes. We will be using the service again in a few months. Very reasonable charges too.

I have been using Rest Assured Home Care for a few months now for my father. Every carer I have met have appeared friendly and caring. My father speaks highly of the care he has received and has told me that the carers treat him with respect and are always kind. Nothing seems too much trouble. On the
odd occasion I have asked for extra visits this was never a problem. I have no hesitation in recommending Rest Assured Homecare.

I have been using Rest Assured Home Care for the last 6 months to care for my auntie. My auntie required 4 x care visits per day, this was not a problem at all for Rest Assured and the planning and execution of the service has gone very smoothly. I can honestly recommend the company to anyone looking
for at-home care for a loved one.

I have been using Rest Assured Home Care for some time to care for my Mum. Recently I had to increase the level of care visits she receives. This was not a problem at all and everything has gone very smoothly, I have personally met several of the carers and they are performing a great and very professional
service and they genuinely care about my Mum which is very reassuring.
Any change of requirements, concerns or issues are dealt with quickly by an email or phone call to their office.
An added bonus is that they now use a health care professional online site, this allows me to see each carer's notes along with their concerns and observations, it also allows me to see in advance what time each visit will be and the name of the carer, this has been an enormous help.
I can honestly recommend the company to anyone looking for at-home care for a loved one.

We've had an excellent experience with Rest Assured. I met with the manager initially and we then had a home visit to meet with Mum and work out what support she needed and which carer would be best to support her. The carer who is supporting her is brilliant and perfectly suited. She has a fantastic
approach and is able to encourage Mum to do things in a really supportive way.

After only a week of having carers come in at tea time, my mother seems to have settled into this routine quite well. She was resistant at first as she is trying to hold onto her independence, but likes all the carers and enjoys their company.
I am hopeful that this will work well for both her and
us (her daughters).

Administrators and supervisors are responsive to requests to service provision and changes needed. They seem to have a ‘we can do that’ attitude and they generally make things work.
There are some excellent carers. Those who do a good job really seem to care about the client and enhancing the client's
life. They go above and beyond what’s asked and work very hard during their visits.
The carers have made helpful suggestions, such as waterproof bedding or food the client might like. They mostly respond appropriately to the client when they are rude and aggressive which diffuses the situation.
There are a few carers that do not seem to understand dementia and particularly Alzheimer’s. At times I feel some (particularly new) need more training. The company are quick to respond to any problems and they try to match the carer to the client.
About 1-2 times a week visits are too close together and not at/or near enough to agreed times.

Reply from Lara Kingswell, Registered Manager at Rest Assured Homecare (UK) Ltd

Thank you for your review. We have a dementia training session booked as I agree with your feedback regarding understanding, but also feel that it is difficult to train for all individuals and the differing behaviours that come with these conditions.

I made contact on Monday the 16th of October looking to discuss putting some tailored support in place for my mum.
I spoke to a staff member who was incredibly understanding and helpful toward understanding our unique needs. Very quickly solutions and options were provided to allow care to be in place
by Wednesday 18th.
This speed and quality of service has already helped my mum and given her the focus, support and progress she needs. She is the happiest she has been for a number of weeks and is excited for her next support visit.
The customer experience I have had here has delivered beyond my expectations and I am already very grateful for the expertise and approach I have seen.
Thank you.

Rest Assured Homecare have provided support for my mother for the past 15 months, with a morning and evening visit. During this time the care has been very good throughout and has enabled my mother to continue to enjoy the independence of living at home. Accompanied by a carer, she continues to make
her weekly visit to the local hairdressers and whilst she is there, carers carry out a small grocery shop. As a widow, companionship is particularly important and my mother often mentions when carers have stayed to chat with her within the allocated time slot. This should certainly be encouraged. As I live in Cornwall, I find the app particularly useful, where I can observe the carers notes following visits.

My sister in law looks forward to seeing the ladies who arrive to help her shower three mornings per week. The ladies are nearly always prompt, clean and tidy. She is pleased with the help, especially when they clear up afterwards. They are always willing to help with other tasks, if required.

Compared to other companies we have previously used for my father, Rest Assured Homecare has been very efficient and given personal care of a good standard to my father. They have taken more time and care with him and shown personal interest which is so important for the elderly who are often lovely
and scared. So far very pleased.

I imagine you are a bit like me, a busy person who is always trying to juggle family and work. This gets especially challenging when relatives begin to rely on you for their care, and you want to give them that care, but you have your own children to look after and job to attend to.


Whilst working within a family business, I was caring for my grandparents at the same time. When I visited my grandparents, I wanted to be there as a granddaughter. To spend time with them, laugh with them and create new memories with them. Not do the washing up and make sure they had had their daily medicine. So, inspired by my experiences, I started Rest Assured Homecare in February 2019 with the aim of providing the same standard of care and dignity, both in terms of physical and mental well-being, to all my service users as I would expect to give my grandparents.


I understand that getting care needs right for families ultimately starts with creating and nurturing an exemplary culture within the business. It is, therefore, my desire that every single member of the team, no matter their role, is able to play to their strengths every day, continually learn, grow and better themselves within an organisation where they feel valued and part of a family.


When you place your care or the care of your relative with us, then I am confident that you will not be disappointed.

The most important thing about care is knowing that you have done your job properly by going into a client's home and caring for their needs putting a smile on their face and also welcoming new clients and getting to know them and their families. The hours suit my home life support from management.
