Staff all friendly, but remain professional. Very caring and seem genuinely focused on assisting my daughter while still promoting independence where possible. We asked to receive a rota of which carers would be attending each day as my daughter is very keen on routines and likes to know what is going
on and we have always received these in a timely manner. A very professional caring team.

I was always reluctant to use a care agency, but I have found Radfield extremely professional. The carers are very kind and friendly. They are a very flexible business and always strive to provide the very best care. I am no longer anxious and worried and always look forward to their visits.

Excellent service, 5 months now 3 x 1 hour per week. Carers are happy to share my showering needs for about half an hour, make or change my bed, and do small household tasks eg. putting washing outside empty bins and making my breakfast. Thank you.

The standard of care has been high from my main carer especially. Getting help in with care was a difficult decision, but the carers have made the transition as smooth as possible. We have recommended Radfield to friends who are now also clients.

My personal opinion, Radfield Home Care on the sharp end, are patient and kind in completing their duties. I would like to see more uniformity across the team when it comes to the number of tasks they do on each visit, but overall I am pleased at the care they provide for my friend.
I appreciate it
is a challenging job, and due to the poor health of my friend, any chopping and changing of timings for her care plan, have been swiftly addressed - the Admin and Management staff are efficient - they are approachable and friendly without compromising on their professionalism.

Reply from Julie Scott, Director at Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port

Thank you very much for your review. We do always try to provide a person centred service that is driven by our clients. Professionalism is of the upmost importance and providing a family feel between our client and carer is paramount.

Radfield are professional across the board, always punctual, bringing a sense of actually being cared for. They go above and beyond the call of duty, whether it be the carers or those in the office.
They treat me with respect and dignity at all times, helped by the fact I get the same small team
of carers who have got to know me, and I, them. Which is so important if a relationship is to be fostered between the client and the carer.
What I enjoy most about this company are the personal touches along the way, be it from the staff in the office or those I see daily, and this adds to making me feel cared about and for. From management to care staff, there is always a listening ear, helping me to feel safe and well looked after in my home. There are 3-monthly reviews which affords the opportunity for me to air any concerns should they arise.

I found my care is good and the staff stop me from feeling lonely. No job is too big or small. I have 4 calls a day and I have come to rely on the help and would be lost without it. Everyone has a smile and is kind. The girls in the office, if I ever need anything extra, are always there to help me.

A lovely review from a lovely lady. Your team of care professionals are always happy when they are coming in to see you and I believe you are always having a good laugh with them. You're part of our Radfield family.

Whilst away for 24 days my mother was very well looked after and all her health and well-being needs had been fully met. Upon our return, Mum was healthy, bright and arrangements had been made for extra visits by the district nurse as required. This means we can leave Mum, feeling reassured she will
get all the care and support she needs from people who care, go the extra mile and whose company she enjoys, this has meant a great deal to us.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We really appreciate your feedback and are happy that you are confident to leave your mum in our capable hands. Going above and beyond is always our priority for your mum.

I have great pleasure in leaving a review for this company. They looked after Mum for a few months until she was badly let down by another company. This company did 2 hours a day 7 days a week to cover the day carers break. They engaged with Mum so well helping her with her quiz books she used to light
up when they visited. I’m very happy to recommend them.
They have the patience of a saint. Mum has the start of dementia and can be very challenging at times but all the girls who visited were completely unaffected by this they really are true professionals in every sense of the word. Thank you all so much at Radfield Home Care for your help and understanding and kind words.

Thank you very much for your lovely review it is very much appreciated. It is very important to us that our care professionals all have strong family values and always treat our clients as part of the family. Your mum is a lovely lady and I know that our carers loved going in to spend time with her. I will ensure they all see your review and hopefully, we will get to see your mum again soon.

The staff that look after me, I am extremely satisfied with the service.
They are always prompt, efficient and cheerful, they always ensure they follow my care plan.
The company is always willing, at short notice, to alter my schedule if required.
I feel that the carers are more like friends now
and look forward to their visits, yet very professional in all their duties.

My father has been with Radfield Home Care for a couple of months and is very pleased with the service.
The carer is the same carer each time, which we are really happy about because my dad likes consistency.
He is very friendly, positive, proactive and gets on well with my dad. He performs all the
moving and handling very well and is thorough regarding the personal care. He also keeps the house tidy and has a good balance of doing jobs and being a companion.
Radfield have been very accommodating when we have needed extra care and they are professional.
