My experience as a first time service was very good. I had a one week respite care while my private carer (of eight years) was on holiday. The care manager came and introduced me to the company and then came with the carer on their first day. By the end of the week became to my ways. I have Parkinson's
syndrome with no dementia, I was very pleased to be treated with dignity and I have booked two more separate months later in the year. The carers showed signs of good training. I was very concerned that the accounts department took a repeat payment of my account. This was rectified quickly with an apology.

We're so pleased to hear that your first time using our service was a positive one, and that you felt supported and treated with dignity throughout your respite care. It's lovely to hear that the care team adapted to your routines and that their training came through in the quality of care you received.We're also glad we could quickly resolve the issue with the duplicate payment, and we apologise again for any worry that may have caused.It means a lot that you've chosen to book with us again later in the year - we look forward to supporting you!

All appointments made are assisted by a carer being in attendance by taking my partner to fulfill her appointments and escorted back home. This arrangement is working quite well and satisfactory. Also help is provided when required to carry out ironing, bedmaking and other light household duties such
as light meals, also gentle walks and exercises are carried out including blood pressure checks.

Although my mother is only receiving welfare visits in her care home at the current time these are very satisfying for her. It is reassuring to have issues raised by the carers as I only see what happens in the evenings.

My husband has been receiving support from the staff at the West Bridgford branch for a few months.
Both carers are unfailingly kind, patient and have got to know him well.
Although he is no longer able to anticipate their visits, while they are present he enjoys their conversation and support.
The
staff in the office always quick to respond to my queries and have shown flexibility when I needed to change arrangements.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Carefound Home Care and feel reassured by the professional approach of all staff members I have met.

Very friendly and efficient service. Lots of extra information about further support has been provided and the liason with the GP is very useful. Communication is efficient and straightforward and it is very useful being able to see immediate feedback on the app. The carers provide a friendly and caring

Excellent care for Mum was provided by a number of carers. Always on time, polite and considerate, and act according to Mum's wishes and needs. Work with Mum to maintain independence and mobility and watch health issues carefully. I am always kept informed and called if there are any issues or concerns
noted. Lots of liaison on return from a recent hospital stay and to increase levels of care when needed.
Very considerate of being in someone's home, looking after that as well as Mum.
Slightly more costly than some other options but worth it for peace of mind, professional outlook, and reliability.

We have been using Carefound Homecare since March and couldn't be more pleased. My mother was quite nervous about having a carer visit but she now looks forward to it. Every carer she sees has taken the time to get to know her and the time they spend together makes such a difference to her. They are
always so punctual and manage to get so much done in the time they have! We appreciate how well-informed we are kept as well. Thank you.

I find it hard to review something when I have not been using the service for that long. I feel my carer and myself are now getting to know one another better. There have been rather too many breaks since joining Carefound on an ad-hoc basis, due to unforeseen circumstances, and this has slowed the
'getting to know you' process, but I feel we are there now. My family is in the USA are paying for your service, I don't know how much.

Reply from Danielle Shippam, Central Support Team at Carefound Home Care (West Bridgford)

It's completely understandable to feel uncertain about reviewing a service when you're still in the process of getting to know your carer and adjusting to the new arrangement. We appreciate your honesty and patience as we work to ensure that you receive the best possible care. We apologise for any disruptions caused by unforeseen circumstances that may have affected the continuity of care. Building a rapport and understanding between you and your carer is essential, and we're glad to hear that you feel you're getting there now. Please feel free to reach out to our team if you have any questions or concerns, or if there's anything more we can do to support you during this transition period.

We have been very pleased with the quality of care given to my mother. Carers are friendly and very sensitive to Mum’s needs. The level of service is highly professional and is underpinned by the excellent management by one staff member in particular. She has been immediately available to answer any
questions I may have and highly efficient. Whilst on holiday, I have appreciated being able to look at the app to see how my mum is doing. I am delighted to recommend this service.

Delighted to give a five-star review (would have given you more, if that was possible). We have been receiving two visits per week for many weeks now. It has been a boon to have the continuity of the same person coming out on every visit. This has provided us with the obvious advantages, but also the
reassurance that you operate with long-term staff rather than short-term stand-ins. The caregiving staff have been courteous, considerate and knowledgeable. More importantly, they seem to be dedicated to their role and not simply doing a job.
Your organisational setup is superb. You have provided us with an App to easily access your digital records and see the care plans and the updates after each visit. You have also kept in touch with us through regular emails and telephone calls. All in all, an excellent set-up and wonderful people. Thank you.

Prior to Carefound Home Care supporting us, my mum was admitted to hospital. She had been adamant that she was coping with looking after herself and wouldn't need help when she was discharged. The carers did not rush the visits when my mum got anxious. Slowly, my mum is gaining confidence and is engaging
with them more. We have had to try a variety of different time slots and the Carefound team has been eager to work with me to get a schedule that best suits my mum.
This week, a carer spotted similar symptoms to those that caused my mum to be admitted to hospital. The manager contacted me about her concerns and offered to liaise with our GP. The team worked together to make arrangements for tests and took her down to the pharmacist to be reviewed as well. I was kept informed on progress.
I would highly recommend the team for its caring, professional service. Also, it has provided lovely personal touches - thanks for the coronation cupcake. I couldn't be happier to have found Carefound!

If you are looking for a truly caring and professional yet personal service from a care company, you will not do better than Carefound Home Care. They have surpassed my expectations in all respects and we feel very lucky to have found them for the care of my elderly mother. The management and carers
are always willing to go the extra mile, whether it's to fit in extra visits at short notice, arrange medical appointments directly so that the carers can take my mother to them or to notify me straight away if there are any potential problems. My mother was adamant she didn't want carers but she really seems to enjoy and look forward to their visits. They genuinely seem to care about her well-being and we feel she has improved physically and mentally since they started their visits. We live a long way away so the Carefound app is also very useful as a real-time update on how my mother is doing on a day-to-day basis. Thank you, home care!

When my auntie started needing additional care this was a worrying time. The manager of Carefound Home Care visited my auntie and I in my auntie's home and together we were all able to discuss things as a team and the manager could get to know my auntie. She took time and interest in hearing my auntie
talk about herself and her life, her likes and dislikes and her needs.
The first time I met the manager I instantly felt at ease. I could see that the manager genuinely cares about her job and her role in caring for my auntie. This was such a relief because I live a long way away. I was impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, care and empathy for my auntie and the situation. Nothing is too much trouble. It is a small team and offers a really personal approach.
The manager is approachable and easy to reach on the phone. I have full faith in her ability to meet the changing needs of my auntie as time progresses.

Job Title: Registered Branch Manager

Joined: 2024

I have worked in adult health and social care for over 24 years, during which I have held CQC Registered Manager status on several occasions in both domiciliary care and learning disability and mental health services. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Leadership and Management of Care Services and believe in making every day count for everyone we support, with people being at the heart of everything we do.


I am passionate about co-production and believe that not only does care to need to be person-centred but the people we help should also be empowered to lead their own care and support.


Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, friends, and animals. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining.

Jade Farnsworth

Job Title: Care Manager

Joined: 2020

My experience in healthcare began in 2016 while I was studying an Access to Nursing course. I started to build relationships with the people we were supporting in the community and progressed my career over the years, gaining experience as a registered branch manager and care manager. I joined Carefound in 2020 and have since completed my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.


I have always been passionate about helping others and enabling them to stay in their own homes while living well. Our team at Carefound shares this passion, and it is incredibly rewarding to work with a group so dedicated to supporting those in our local community.


Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my family, enjoying days out and walking with our two dogs. I also like to keep fit through regular jogging and reform Pilates.

Lucia Chovancova

Job Title: Care Manager

Joined: 2021

From a young age, I have always cared for others. My journey in the care sector began early in life. At 16, I became a personal care assistant for young adults with disabilities in my home country, Slovakia. During my university studies in Social Work, I continued supporting various vulnerable groups, including young adults, the elderly, people with mental health issues, and victims of domestic abuse.


In 2010, I moved to the UK, and by 2011, I had started my career in the healthcare sector here. I worked for a large nationwide care company, where I progressed from a live-in carer to an hourly care assistant, then to a field care supervisor, recruitment coordinator, and finally a care coordinator.


When I learned about Carefound Homecare, a company known for its outstanding reputation and strong values, I decided to apply. I was offered a role as a Care Manager, achieved my Level 5 in Health and Social Care, something I had always aspired to and helped grow our West Bridgford team.


I love my job in care. I am passionate about helping others and seeing the difference our team makes in their daily lives. I look forward to each day at work, thriving in a busy and diverse environment alongside our wonderful clients.


In my free time, I enjoy long walks, gardening, watching good sitcoms, and travelling.

I completed my Level 3 Diploma with triple distinction and I am currently pursuing a Level 3 Learning and Development Diploma to prepare for future responsibilities.


Why do I love working in care? For me, it’s not just a job—it’s a passion. I am committed to making a positive impact in people's lives, delivering high-quality, person-centred care, and empowering individuals to maintain their independence as much as possible.


In my senior carer role, I’ve discovered a new passion: supporting carers to be their best and watching them succeed. It’s a major source of motivation for me.


Outside of work, I spend all my time with my little boy, creating memories and enjoying our time together.
