I started using Diamond in September and can honestly say it has changed the quality of my life. I am currently housebound, severely obese and disabled. Life before Diamond was hard just doing normal daily tasks like making coffee, dinner and doing washing etc was nearly impossible. Diamond has taken
over these tasks and also helped with my mental health by listening to and supporting me on a daily basis. I am so happy I found them and look forward to a better life ahead.

Great friendly service in the people you can trust. Diamond helped me in having respite and taking my Mum out on trips to the cafe to socialise. Diamond and her carers are warm people, which is refreshing to see. Can recommend them. Keep up the great work.

Reply from Emma Hurry, Registered Manager at Diamond Home Assist LLP

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We have really enjoyed the short time we have supported mum and look forward to continuing the service, providing you with the required respite and helping mum further socialise in the community.

The carers from this company look after my Mother’s social care needs as well as keeping the house clean. Mum will be 100 in August and the care she receives allows her to remain in her own home. The ladies are all very kind and flexible allowing for her needs to be met as she requires and not in a
rigid way. It allows her to feel she has an element of control over her life. The reports are informative and allow me to react to any issues promptly.

Reply from Emma Hurry, Registered Manager at Diamond Home Assist LLP

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review regarding your mum's support. It is so great to hear Mum's needs are being met and we are delighted to have her as a client! For nearly 100 years old, she is so incredibly independent and we love being able to be a part of her support system enabling her to remain this way. We look forward to continuing service with your mum and celebrating her 100th birthday with her.

Diamond looked after my aunt until a few weeks ago when she, unfortunately, went into 24/7 care. Living so far away it was amazing to know the girls were going in daily to ensure she was OK and had eaten. Once home from work, I checked the app and instantly got updated on how she had been. I do not
think she would have stayed at home this long without them.

Hi Barbara, thank you for taking the time to submit such a lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to support your aunt. We wish her all the best in her new surroundings.

My support worker is so supportive and she understands me so well. She kept me going mentally for months until my health got gradually better. I’m now going through new challenges and she’s been by my side again. Nothing is too much for her. She’s more than a diamond to me.

Reply from Emma Hurry, Manager at Diamond Home Assist LLP

Was really lovely to meet you at the coffee morning last October. Hopefully, we can see you again at our next event.

I like all the people from Diamond Home Assist who help me. I trust them and I rely on them. If a home support person cannot come to my flat when they said they would they always let me know. I feel that I can talk to the staff about personal things which are important to me and they have my best interests
at heart.

The management team are easy to approach and supportive. I have been with Diamond Home Assist for a number of years and the support workers are all very supportive. I look forward to the support worker coming each week to support me with household tasks and a chat. I could not do without their support
keeping myself as independent as possible. Diamond Home Assist have good support workers and management team with regular reviews.

Very good. Good support staff.

Reply from Yvonne Hurry, Partner at Diamond Home Assist LLP

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to submit a review. We are delighted that you are happy with your overall support and your support workers, as this is what is most important to us.
In regards to value for money, we completely understand money is a tough issue right now and wish more than anything we could reduce these costs for all of our clients. However, as we, unfortunately, have no control over the contributions the council requests clients to make towards the service, we regretfully cannot make amendments to the cost of service.
Nonetheless, we are always looking to make improvements where possible and if it is believed there is something more we could do to increase your value for money, we would be more than happy to discuss this with you, to ensure you are getting the most out of your service.

Very supportive management and top-quality support workers, two of which have been constantly supporting my partner for four years. As I live fifty miles away from my partner, it is very reassuring for me and my partner to get the level of support that we get from Diamond Home Assist. We are both very
happy with Diamond's role in my partner's support package.

I worked for many years within the print industry, however, after starting up in the social care sector, I soon found my love for the role and for the work we were doing.

For 30 years I worked in the print industry for a variety of different companies. I loved my time in the industry however after starting up Diamond Home Assist I now feel I have found a role that I thoroughly enjoy.


We started up Diamond Home Assist after seeing the additional support our families needed, that at the time, was not available to them. We wanted to create a service that would of benefited our parents through their elderly years. This soon developed into a desire to help more people, such as those with disabilities, learning difficulties and complex needs.


We have been operating for over 8 years and I have enjoyed every minute.
