Overall Experience

My mother has been supported by Kirsten's Care since the summer of 2022. The team have supported her to live at home for as long as possible, only moving into nursing care when the time was right for her, and for us as a family. I cannot thank the team enough. The ladies were always professional and

responsive, and above all, kind (to us all). Their tenderness and support has meant so much to us all. I would not hesitate to recommend the care provided to others. Thank you!

Reply from Kirsten Ryland, Director at Kirsten's Care Ltd

All the team have enjoyed working with your family and especially your mother very much, we hope she has the happiest time in the home and we wish the whole family well for the future.

Very reliable, friendly, adaptable, pleasant, chatty and sympathetic. These are qualities were, and still are, so appreciated especially as I was facing the loss of my husband a few months earlier.

Overall Experience

Mum has used Kirsten's Care for the last two years, primarily to visit each morning to dispense medication and for companionship, but also as eyes and ears for us to provide us with the assurance that a professional is keeping a look out for her, as we don't live locally enough to pop in as regularly

as we'd like.
The service we have been given has been great, with regular updates and feedback whenever necessary.
The support given to Mum on the day my father died was excellent, and above and beyond what would be expected of a carer in the circumstances.
The support from management has been excellent throughout, and I would thoroughly recommend Kirsten's Care. Thank you, ladies!

Overall Experience

All the morning carers are well-trained. They are friendly, polite and helpful. I know that they are short-staffed and sometimes arrive late. But they are worth waiting for, always positive and cheerful. They get the day off to a good start for both of us. I would definitely recommend Kirsten's Care.
Recently

a live-in carer looked after my husband for a week while I had a respite holiday. She was lovely. She kept to a routine and cooked nice meals, but I'm not doing her justice. She was so friendly, cheerful and organised. My husband enjoyed her company, and the house was immaculate. It's the first time I've seen a beautifully folded and ironed fitted sheet! I was sorry to see her go.

Reply from Kirsten Ryland, Director at Kirsten's Care Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words, we will pass these on to our carers. It's always a complete pleasure to work with you and we were so pleased you had a wonderful week away.
Kind Regards

Overall Experience

We have found Kirsten's Care very understanding and helpful in meeting our needs and aspirations; sometimes we feel we were not the easiest of clients but Kirsten's Care responded always with care, consideration and where needed compromise. Lovely staff, always responsive, always caring and cheerful

and whilst there may have been the occasional hiccup this was more likely due to a misunderstanding by the Client. The response from Kirsten's Care has always been constructive to any problems. Overall, we rate your service very highly and would not hesitate to recommend Kirsten's Care; should we need help and advice at some further point in the future we will look to you for your proposals and a care plan.

Many thanks, R S, we have enjoyed working with both of you.

The wonderful team at Kirsten's Care have been providing home care and support to my aunt for the past five years. During that time, the care and attention that they have provided has been highly professional, kind and compassionate. This has ensured that my aunt could maintain her independence and

dignity in her own home. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Overall Experience

Having MS and after a small operation on my hand I needed help with getting in and out of bed and dressing. So I approached Kirsten’s Care of Woolpit, Bury St Edmunds and I am so glad I did. I can’t speak highly enough of the help and care I received. All their carers who helped me while I was recovering

from my operation were wonderful. They were so considerate and helpful and knew what I wanted before I even asked for it. My carers became my friends and I looked forward to seeing them every day.

Thank you, it was a pleasure caring for you while you were recovering, all our carers loved working with you very much.

Kirsten's cared for Dad for nearly a year during which time we found them to be very professional and reliable. They were always friendly and caring to Dad who did not think that he needed any help but they saw to all his needs without making any fuss. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kirsten's

Care to anyone, thank you for all you done.

We’ve been using Kirsten's Care on and off for a few years but have recently increased care needs. Kirsten's Care have stepped up in every way possible. Having used a number of local agencies this is the one I’d recommend. They are so professional yet friendly, supportive and caring at the same time.

I feel totally at ease leaving my husband in their care. I know he will be cared for and have fun.

Overall Experience

Kirsten's Care provided care for my mum for two years which allowed her to stay in her own home right up until she passed away age 90. I can highly recommend the company. The team were caring, dedicated and above all very kind to my mum, as well as treating her with dignity and respect. As an only child

living 80 miles away and working full-time but visiting every Saturday, I knew my mum was in safe hands! Nothing was too much trouble for the team, carer's and office staff and they were always available to talk things through when things needed to be changed and care increased. The words 'thank you' just doesn't cover it!

Reply from Kirsten Ryland, Director at Kirsten's Care Ltd

What a lovely family to work alongside, thank you so much for your kind comments. We enjoyed Mum's company so very much and were so happy caring for her. Always a pleasure!

We have become very confident with the care provided by Kirsten's for our dear friend since engaging their services in June 2020. Despite the challenges arising from the Covid crisis, the carers have continued to visit our friend 3 times every day. They have always shown kindness and a sensitivity to

her condition.

The care and support my mother receives from Kirsten's Care is exemplary in every way. The girls are always on time, which means a lot. They are dependable and always cheerful. Lovely supervisor, who is always helpful. They take much of the worry out of my days and I could only manage with them. The

carers are rostered for continuity of care. Having experienced other agencies I would not change again. Thank you to the carers and management alike for keeping my mother independent.
