It was really difficult to persuade my parents to accept the outside support they really need. Then we were blessed to have a carer come into our lives. She is a caring professional lady who cares for my parents and they absolutely adore her, and so do we. She has made a massive difference to the family.
Enabling us to continue with our own day jobs knowing and trusting Mum and Dad could not be in any better hands. We would be lost without her. The carer is the reason I have given 5 stars.

The care that was received from Radfield's Homecare was excellent. All the staff were very pleasant, friendly and dedicated to their client. It has been hard on occasions for them to attend as we are quite remote, but they have always made that extra effort, even through snow and ice. I would, and have,
recommended Radfields Home Care to others.

Thank you so much for your kind review Vicky. It has always been a total pleasure to look after your husband.

My mum has Vascular Dementia, and Dad at 91, is getting frail. The support from Radfield has enabled them to keep safe and happy in their own home. The majority of the carers are excellent, but their main carer is exceptional. She has such a good rapport with Mum and always leaves Mum looking a 'million
dollars'. She has a natural ease with Mum, and it is a pleasure to hear them laughing and having fun together. Everywhere is always left clean and tidy, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure that they're safe and well.

We are happy with all the carers at Radfield Derby who help support my mum at home, but one, in particular, has spent time building a trusted relationship with her. She has been a godsend, she cares for my mum with dignity and respect. My mum was a nurse, and although she has dementia, she knows what
and who she likes and how it should be done. The carer meets her standards beautifully.

We have been fortunate to use Radfield Care for 18-months now. The continuity of care has been amazing and makes a massive difference to all our lives as we know Mum’s carers well, and they know her needs very well. The care given is of a really high standard, and carers really take the time to learn
how my mother likes things done. They ensure she does her physio exercises and encourage her. The office staff are equally helpful and reply promptly to any queries we have. All In all, we are very pleased with the service we receive from Radfield, and I don’t know what I would do without them. Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

We have been using Radfield's services for about five months, two visits a day, to support my elderly parents in their own home. They have been able to provide the main carer, with a small number of additional carers to cover days off/holiday/sick days. This has been absolutely key in the support of
my parents, one of whom has dementia, the other having very poor mobility (they are both around 90). The main carer has been exemplary and goes above and beyond anything I would have expected.
Carers keep very detailed records of each visit, which I am able to see.
My only quibble would be with the admin side of things, for example, accuracy of invoicing. However, when I have found mistakes, these have been quickly resolved. It can be hard to get hold of people by phone, emailing is good. I've also had to support new carers to go through the care plan with them, and this may partly be because there are two people to look after. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Radfield Derby.

Reply from Samantha Adie, Director at Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire

Thank you, Katy, for taking the time to send us a review. We take pride in ensuring that our continuity of care is maintained as much as possible and are delighted to hear that your parents main carer is going above and beyond your expectations.
I am also pleased to hear that although we have made the odd admin mistake, I"m glad we were able to rectify it straight away. We always aim to give the highest customer service. I have taken on board your comments regarding the phone and will be ensuring that this isn't a problem going forward.

We're very grateful to Radfield for their responsiveness in stepping in to provide support for our mum at short notice. Mum has always been very independent so accepting help wasn't easy for her. When we had our initial visit mum and I felt reassured and confident that this was the right option for
her. Mum's situation has improved thanks to the Radfield care team - she trusts and likes her carers. They are helping her to regain her independence and I feel confident that we can get the right level of care for her as her circumstances change. Communication is excellent and we feel able to contact them, even about the smallest thing.

From the moment I met the manager and the staff I knew this agency was going to provide the best support to my Dad, Mum and Dad also felt the same. To say Dad’s discharge home was complicated is an understatement but the staff provided more advice and support than I could ever have expected. Their flexibility
and ability to deal with last-minute changes was second to none and they never made it feel like it was a problem. Unfortunately, Dad only received their support for a week as it was deemed he required further rehabilitation to be able to stay at home. Most of my contact was with one staff member who always made me feel she only wanted the best for Dad and Mum too, she is definitely an asset to the company. I really hope Dad is able to try living at home again and we will definitely choose Radfield for the care. Many thanks from Dad and all the family.

Thank you so much for your review. We pride ourselves on always going above and beyond to help not only our clients but their families as well. We understand what a difficult time it can be when a loved one has a life-changing event and this can not only be a worrying time but also a frightening time, as families are thrown into the unknown world of care. We are thrilled that we were able to support you and your family and we really hope that Dad is able to come home soon. Wishing you all the very best for the future.

The lady who helps my sister and I look after our mother which enables her to stay in her own home is excellent, helpful and caring. She is both reliable and will do all sorts of little jobs around mum's home which keep mum clean, warm and cared for. Initially, we had some issues with billing, but since
Christmas 2020 and going over to direct debit, we have had no problems.

I contacted Radfield just prior to Christmas to see if they could help with the day-to-day care of my mum, who has the early stages of dementia. Two ladies met with us (me and mum) and proved to be friendly and knowledgeable: they truly understood my mum's condition and the care she needed. A week into
the new care programme, the change in my mum was noticeable. She was happy and cared for, having previously been very withdrawn, with a dedicated carer seeing her morning and evening who has been wonderful, exceeding all of our expectations. Above all, the one lady cares for my mum as if she is her own family, it's heartwarming to see, and my mum absolutely adores seeing her. Radfield also has an amazing app which provides families with a log of the visit. I would not hesitate to recommend the manager and her team; they truly want to provide the best care possible.

Reply from Samantha Adie, Director at Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire

Thank you Jo, for your kinds words. We are very proud of our team and will always go above and beyond. We truly believe that having a dedicated carer makes such a huge difference to our clients, especially those with dementia as they build up a great relationship and we are able to know if your Mum is having a good or bad day, even without having to ask her. We love being there for your Mum. Thanks again.

Radfield carers have changed my life. I no longer worry 24-hours a day about my father who is suffering from dementia and lives alone. It fills me with confidence (and makes me smile) when I read the logs left by the carers on the app. The carers have my fathers best interests at heart and treat him
with respect and tenderness, which is lovely to watch/hear if I happen to be there at the time. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they flag any issues. Thank you for providing such a great service; keep it up.

Having been in the care industry for over 13 years myself, I have a high expectation on what providing quality care should look like. After a lot of research to find an agency for my grandfather, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, Radfield was who we turned to. They have not been disappointed! They truly
care and provide a person-centred approach. They are genuine and strive to ensure that their clients are well cared for. Not everything has gone swimmingly but Radfield acted on any concerns immediately and reassured us through the entire process. I rate them highly and thank them for all of the support they provide to my grandparents. They provide me with reassurance when I can’t be there and I know that my family are in good hands, especially as I am kept updated on all of the care visits, needs and concerns.

Carers were excellent on the whole, very friendly. Unfortunately, they did not seem to cope well when my husband, who has fairly advanced Alzheimer's dementia, had episodes of bad language and rudeness towards them.

Reply from Sam Adie, Director/Owner at Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire

Thank you for your review and high scores.
It was a privilege to care for your husband in what was clearly difficult and sometimes distressing time for you all. Alzheimer's is a particularly cruel and unrelenting disease, and we realise the period in question would have been particularly hard on you and the family as his deterioration was quite rapid into an advanced stage. As is common in most people at this stage, his behaviours were getting more erratic, abusive and distrusting.
Being a very proud and determined man, his confusion and frustration naturally, more often than not, got the better of him. I believe we did all we can for him whilst he was under our care. That is why we recommended full-time care and now hopefully, he is getting the 24hr care he needs while you can concentrate on spending quality time with your husband.
We wish you both the very best of time together for the future. Please keep in touch and keep us updated on his progress.
