We are very happy with Silver Assist care. The communication is very good. Carers are efficient, friendly and caring. They are chatty and well liked by my father. They show a real interest in his well being and his life and family.
The management is approachable and effective.

All the caters that attend to my mother-in-law do so with the utmost care and attention. They treat her with respect and carry out their duties efficiently and thoroughly. They are friendly and professional at all times and complete the care plans clearly.

Outstanding care that is holistic and extremely well organised. I feel that the staff make the time to get to know not just the client but the family as well. We have a really supportive team around us who give my grandmother the best care. They support us in making sure she is comfortable and safe
in her own home, and most importantly allowing her to maintain her independence.

I've been really happy with the level of care that Mum's received since she started using Silver Assist. We are all new to receiving support from a homecare provider and I was initially unsure of how to source the right level of support and how it would help. However, the initial set-up was very simple
and Mum has a lovely support worker who helps in the kitchen and takes her out, as well as providing companionship.

We are absolutely delighted with Silver Assist.
From beginning to end Sam and the team have been outstanding, we feel so lucky to have found them.
Assessing my mother/father's needs was conducted via an initial visit. Followed by a subsequent meet-the-carer session, which then led to a very comfortable
transition to regular carer visits. The whole process was very simple and communicative.
We now have regular carer visits and this is working absolutely perfectly for us. Thank you to the manager and the team.

I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Silver Assist Homecare when I had a new hip. I had a live-in assistant for a week who dressed and helped me with all my needs. She cooked delicious meals for the two of us and lived as part of my family becoming good friends.

To begin with, I was a bit embarrassed because I had not had care before. I soon got used to my carer who put me at ease. It is lovely to feel clean and refreshed. I feel supported and reassured so now I am able to stand holding onto the handrails in my bathroom. I could not use my bathroom before because
I could not stand even to use the toilet.

From the first introduction meeting, Silver Assist listened to everything that we had to share about Dad. Once the care plan was in place, the first month there was a lot of communication, and this communication has continued to a high level since the start date. All staff and management are very conscientious
and both parties we feel very well for the needs of Dad as a priority.

My experience with Silver Assist has been outstanding in every respect from management advice to the very personal care given to my father.
The personnel go over and above to ensure the best possible outcomes for their clients. This includes those they care for and the support given to family members.
Communication between the company and the client is exceptional. Even with a couple of months, it felt like an extended family where my father was listened to and valued.

I have found all the carers at Silver Assist to be professional, caring, and friendly. I would say they go beyond what is expected of them and provide a very personal service. They have been visiting my Mother for quite a few months now and the more they get to know her they provide those little touches
with things they know she likes. She enjoys their company and likes all of them.
The manager and all of the staff are very accommodating.

Despite only being involved with Silver Assist for just over a month, all those associated with the company whom we have met, have made us feel very welcome into a new family. As we try to settle into a new lifestyle and routine, the care company manager could not have done more to ease this process,
taking over items of admin, advising and ordering items to make life more comfortable and convenient for my husband and also guiding me to access organisations that may offer various forms of help. Every carer who has visited us has been very polite, showing a genuine respectful interest in caring. They chat with a sense of humour and my husband reacts positively with a smile.

Silver Assist is a very good company. My carer is a very good companion and we have loads of fun. I always look forward to seeing her, she brightens up my day. We always have a good laugh and I like the things we do like going out for walks amongst other things.

Silver Assist has enabled my aunt to return to her own home after a fall which broke her hip. The team of carers that look after her provide daily assistance and companionship. They are professional, punctual and caring. The same team visit my aunt 3 times a day so the continuity is excellent. My aunt
feels looked after but still has her independence and this has allowed her to stay in her own home. The help with medical appointments is really useful as I live so far away. Every visit is logged on the app and communication with me is excellent. I highly recommend Silver Assist.

My mum has had carers from Silver Assist for over six months now, initially just a few hours a week, but this has increased to daily assistance as her needs have become more complex. Staff are incredibly professional but also warm, friendly, so patient and kind. It’s very reassuring that, although my
mum is the client, they also advocate for my dad who is Mum’s full time carer in his mid-seventies.

Mum and Dad have dementia but want to keep their independence. They are very private and have declined having carers for several years. The registered manager came and did an excellent, thorough initial assessment and filled them with confidence. She quickly and accurately picked up on their care needs
and on what was important to them i.e. being able to go out at all times with their dog! She then introduced her two carers to them with two further visits. They have two different carers coming for two hours twice per week. Both carers are lovely, chatty and treat them with respect and listen to what they want to do. Both carers drive, so Mum and Dad love going out with them, and are dog friendly. In all initial meetings and the subsequent care visits, the registered manager and her team have been punctual and professional. They are all approachable, kind and patient. Communication is great via an app, email or phone. They have excellent safeguarding policies and the carers are clearly well trained. I really recommend them.

My Mum who was 90 years old this year and who lives on her own in a supported living complex was finding it hard to cope on a daily basis and primarily needed help at the start of her day. Mainly with showering, washing and dressing in the morning plus help with breakfast. We decided to get some carers
in to help Mum and we had a recommendation from my mum's brother who was already using Silver Assist Homecare. We arranged to meet the manager of the care company and one of the carers that would be coming to Mum, they could check on the facilities in my mum's room and meet my Mum plus discuss with us our requirements. We set up initially 2 evenings per week for a shower after a few visits we reviewed things with the manager and decided to move the visits to each weekday morning this has now been running for about 2 weeks and we are very happy with the service provided and my Mum is delighted, we can see an improvement in her health and well being.

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Silver Assist Homecare is based on 26 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Managing Director / Registered Manager

Joined: 2023

Hi, my name is Sam and I started Silver Assist back in 2023 because we recognised there was little to no care available to people living in rural communities, and we believe everyone should have the choice to retain their independence and quality of life in their own home.


I started my career in care 16 years ago and haven't looked back since! Silver Assist was built on a foundation of compassion, professionalism and transparency and this remains one of our priorities as we continue to grow.


We were delighted to be recognised by homecare.co.uk as one of the top care providers in Wales for 2024 and receive an "Outstanding" rating by the CIW in February 2024.


Should you wish to find out more information about our service, you can call us or email us and one of our friendly team will be happy to help.
