I can't say enough to show my appreciation of the unlimited care shown by the carer for mum. She is very proactive to the point that I don't have to worry about mum's needs because I know her carer will actually be looking for thing that need doing and not just be robotic on the basis.

Reply from Philip Maundrill, Director at Unique Senior Care Solihull

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear how much confidence you have in your mum's caregiver and the proactive support she provides. That's exactly what good visiting care should feel like - knowing your loved one is in safe hands without you having to worry. We really appreciate you sharing your experience.

I have used Unique Care twice, the first time for a week of "live in care" and recently to help my husband in the last week of his life. On both occasions the response of management cannot be faulted and the carers have all been prompt, efficient, respectful and caring. He was compassionately cared
for and everyone made sure that I was supported at a difficult time. I wholeheartedly would recommend this company to anyone needing support.

Reply from Philip Maundrill, Director at Unique Senior Care Solihull

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so sorry for your loss and truly appreciate your kind words. It means a lot to know that both our live-in and visiting care teams could support you and your husband when you needed it most. Making sure families feel cared for is so important to us, and we're grateful we could be there for you.

Set up care for elderly neighbour who was not very mobile and needed help with daily care.
Unique Senior Care Solihull provided exactly the kind of care that she needed and she couldn't be happier.
The carers are excellent and tend to her needs with 2 visits a day.
It's only been one week but the
difference it has made to my neighbors care and her mental well being is totally worth it.
Highly recommend their services.

I've found the office and care staff at Unique to be brilliant over the last 6 months or so, which is what makes them stand out. Arranging care for loved ones can be stressful, but each person I've dealt with has been efficient, reassuring and helpful. I can't really thank the carers enough for the
practical and emotional assistance and reassurance they currently bring to my elderly dad. The quality of care provided is high, and office and care staff seem to take such pride in their work. Thank you Unique.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We know how overwhelming finding and arranging the right care can be, so I'm glad we've been able to help you throughout this process.

We decided to use the services of Unique for my wife just over 3 months ago as I was struggling to look after her at the beginning and end of each day and Unique came highly recommended. From the moment we contacted them and met our manager we were confident we had made the right choice and this has
been confirmed by the excellent level of care my wife has received since. Unique's carers are very professional, keen to help and most of all they are very friendly and personable and have become part of our daily 'family' as we look forward to their visits. Nothing is too much trouble and they are reliable and trustworthy. So a big thank you to all the team from myself and my wife for helping us maintain a good standard of living.

From the moment I made the initial enquiry, through to the day-to-day care provided for my mother, I have found Unique Care to be very professional in their approach, they communicate effectively and have provided carers that have bonded brilliantly with my mother. This has provided me with peace of

The staff at Unique Senior Care have been excellent throughout everything. The carers have been outstanding and sensitive to our needs, and having care in place with Unique has been a big relief to the family. The care needs we require changed suddenly, and Unique was able to accommodate a request made
at a weekend for changes to care starting straight away. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We received outstanding care from Unique Senio Care for my mother over several months earlier this year. Unique employ carers that really care and we felt comfortable that Mom was in good hands.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Unique from the initial visit by Management, so friendly, personable
and also moving forward we had to make a few changes which were done over the phone effortlessly.
Thank you Unique.

I was very impressed with Unique Senior Care from the outset when I saw a video on their site setting out clearly their support packages with prices. After my initial phone call I was quickly put in touch with the new client manager and arrangements made for her to visit my father. Lots of details were
taken at this visit then I was sent videos of potential caregivers who seemed a very good match. On 9th September the caregiver arrived and a registered manager called in shortly after to check that everything was in place. A placement manager is due to visit next week to ensure that all continues to go well. I have felt supported throughout the process and very happy with the choice of caregiver. My father has been treated with respect and kindness by everyone concerned.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that the process has been smooth and that you've felt supported throughout - that's exactly what we aim for. We're so glad the Caregiver feels like a good match for your father too, as that's such an important aspect of great care. Thanks again and I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team.

The two live-in carers looking after my mum were amazing! They were professional but fun and knew how to care for Mum but still make her laugh.
All her needs were met and in fact, the carers went above and beyond in terms of pressure care management, swallow problem management, and end-of-life care.
They
were supportive both to my mum and me, especially during the last week of her life. Mouth care and skin care were done with such kindness.
External professionals coming in from the doctor's surgery, district nursing and hospice care all commented on how well Mum was being cared for, and that she was the best cared-for client they'd seen.
They fit into the house/family very well and worked so well as a team. It made the experience so nice, when in fact it can be difficult to open up your home to people you've never met, during a time that can be very stressful and upsetting.
I cannot thank them enough for the support they showed both to my mum and me.

Reply from Philip Maundrill, Director at Unique Senior Care Solihull

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad to hear that our Caregivers provided the care and support your mum needed and were able to bring some comfort and joy during her final days.

I cannot thank Unique Senior Care enough for basically enabling me to be a daughter again and not my father's carer.
From the very first meeting with the area manager, we felt she really understood what we needed for my father to enable him to stay in his own home. The company has matched him brilliantly
with 2 lovely ladies, at 90 my dad is quite set in his ways and the ladies very quickly adapted to meet his needs in a way which helped him maintain some control, he can be stubborn and sometimes needs persuading that he needs to let someone assist him to avoid further accidents. The two carers have become part of the family so quickly and they always update me daily either by text or a call. I have been under enormous strain working all hours, worrying about Dad when I wasn't visiting him and now I have peace of mind and can actually spend quality time with him rather than rushing around the flat organising things. Thank you.

We used Unique to assist my wife with personal care from June 2023 until the end of May 2024, initially in the mornings, but ultimately for care in the evening too.
We found the care staff to be reliable and professional.
They were generally punctual, but we were always forewarned if they were going
to be late, or could not attend.

Within a week of contacting Unique Care a manager had assessed my mum's needs in hospital, I had spoken to the carer on the phone to reassure myself and live-in care had started at home following discharge from hospital. This was particularly impressive as there was a bank holiday weekend within that
week. The carers have been very kind and flexible to Mum's needs with a super sense of humour which really helps when settling into a new routine. The office ensures I am contacted about arrangements and the carers appear well supported with online care and medication plans and visits from two care managers within the first week of the service.
