From our first contact to the end of the care support provided, Walfinch were faultless. We needed support for my elderly mother-in-law after my daughter's wedding. The Carer was amazing, it was so lovely for us not to have to worry or have any concerns and so we were very grateful. She was even so
kind as to run and buy some bandages for a leg wound and re-dress an injury which really was fantastic. 100% recommend with no hesitation, we would use again in a heartbeat, thank you so much!

Reply from Tanya Santos, Managing Director at Walfinch Chiswick, Hammersmith & Kensington

Dearest Erica. We are so honoured to have been able to support your lovely mother-in-law on such a memorable day for you and your family. We are so grateful for your very kind and generous words. From all the ladies at Walfinch

Walfinch is a very reliable and efficient care agency.
My 97-year-old mother has been having carers in the mornings and they arrive promptly and are always polite and helpful.
Customer services are excellent and they are extremely communicative and understanding if we need to change anything; they
will accommodate our requests and nothing seems too much effort to arrange.
I would not hesitate to recommend this agency.

Reply from Tanya Santos, Managing Director at Walfinch Chiswick, Hammersmith & Kensington

Dearest Jane. Thank you ever so much for your very kind and thoughtful review. We are so privileged and honoured to work with your lovely mother and your very supportive family. This review means so much to us all. With a full heart, Thank you!

Choosing a new care agency for my uncle, diagnosed with Alzheimer's after a bad experience with the previous care agency was daunting. However, Walfinch Care – Hammersmith, Chiswick, and Kensington has proved in the last nine months to be an excellent choice. Their professionalism, compassion and tailored
care impressed me from the start. They match caregivers to clients, ensuring the client's needs are met and emotional support and companionship are offered.
Their proactive approach, effective communication and use of the 'Birdie' App demonstrate their commitment to client well-being. They are happy to liaise directly with me and adult social care to limit my uncle's distress and provide him with the best care. I wholeheartedly recommend Walfinch Care to anyone in need of care services.
Their exceptional staff, personalised approach, and unwavering dedication make them stand out as one of the best care agencies available. I have recommended them to professionals at the Memory Clinic.

Reply from Tanya Foster, Managing Director at Walfinch Chiswick, Hammersmith & Kensington

We are so fortunate to have met you and your lovely uncle, and his carers absolutely love him. He is such a positive and wonderful man, always seeing the good in everything and he is lucky to have you in his life looking out for him. We are so happy you chose us to work with him as we get so much joy from spending time with him. Thank you for your lovely review. It is very kind and thoughtful and his care and management team are all feeling delighted that you have this opinion of our service. Thank you from all of us.

The home care provider is always punctual and spends two hours one day a week with us. He is very kind and looks after my husband in a positive and encouraging way. I feel comfortable leaving my husband in his care. He is knowledgeable about his medical problems and good at communicating with me. He
shows great concern.

My husband has Alzheimer's and dementia which is very complicated. I used Walfinch agency care to take care of him if I had to travel I couldn't be more satisfied and the kindness of the lady who came into our house was beyond what we were expecting! Also at the first call, everybody was so kind and
nice even if the disease makes it difficult sometimes …We are so grateful to have this agency nearby as we live in Chiswick.

I feel we were extremely lucky to have found this company- amazingly the first people I contacted. The management team are exemplary, warm, caring, empathetic and organised. They took so much time to get to know us and our particular needs. The caregiver consequently we have been allocated is perfect
and very much on our wavelength. Thank you, the universe for directing us to you and Walfinch for being exactly what is needed in a care provider.

Lovely Tina. Thank you so much for leaving us such a glowing review. We feel we are the lucky ones, you are both such lovely people and so kind to all of us.

As far as I am concerned, five stars are not enough! Walfinch has added so much pleasure to my life as well as made it easy to cope with my multiple health issues. I am also impressed by the efficiency with which they manage my schedules (which often change) and with which they handle the accounting
side. I would not dream of replacing them as my care organisation. Unsurprisingly, there is a marvellous esprit de corps amongst the carers and the office staff.

I registered with Walfinch in May 2023 for companionship for my mother who has Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, my mother’s dementia declined and her needs dramatically changed, all the staff at Walfinch were a constant support at this very stressful time, and most importantly carers who were invaluable
in meeting mum’s complex physiological needs. Mum's care was to a high standard, gentle, affectionate, stimulated and at her pace.


Dealing with mum’s dementia has been very challenging for me and Walfinch have definitely helped me feel less anxious, they’ve helped me navigate the very daunting adult social care system by writing detailed care reviews. Carers also write detailed daily diaries on an app so I’m always updated.


I can recommend Walfinch.


Reply from Tanya Santos, Managing Director at Walfinch Chiswick, Hammersmith & Kensington

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful review. It is lovely to hear that the service we give your mum has had such a positive impact. It is such a pleasure to work with you in supporting your mum.

I am exceedingly fond of my carer, we share the same standards and going out with her is fun! I call her speedy gonzales (when we use a borrowed wheelchair) but I have a state-of-the-art shopping trolly when my carer has gone on to her next client I am now sufficiently confident. I wish she was my granddaughter.

Walfinch continues to go above and beyond to supply carers for my dad. Dad has Alzheimer's and is quite fussy but the carers continue to supply and fill Dad's demands.
I hope to continue to have a reliable, smart, confident and experienced care team for my dad.

At now 87 years of age, I was aware I needed help in the home. My neighbour claimed to have previous experience with her father and offered advice - soon the first care home company were making their presentation, and a "match" was suggested. It was somewhat overwhelming but overall, sounded good enough,
and I engaged with them.
After a trial period, they were not always very organised. I gave notice and looked for another.
The second, also approved by my neighbour, was soon giving their complex presentation. Their caring turned out to e a misnomer, and in no way was their "match" appropriate.
Third time lucky? The lovely CEO of Walfinch arrived on time, and following the usual presentation, I/we had a very lengthy, interesting conversation.
Promptly, she presented me with her idea of a "match"; a more mature gent who fitted the bill perfectly. We happen to have an affinity and work comfortably in ways that are comfortable.
Furthermore, with my future and with the potential difficulties in mind, it is clear that Walfinch will be adaptable to my needs. Accordingly, come what may be the feeling of being comfortable, which is all one could hope for.
