My brother and I found ourselves in a very difficult position last year; Attorneys under our elderly aunt and uncles' power of attorneys, we feel responsible for their care, in the absence of their agreement to go to a care home. We both live over an hour away, enter Blossom Home Care. We couldn't have
found a better home care provider. As well as providing the very best full time care - primarily to our uncle, but increasingly meeting our aunt's needs as well - they have organised physiotherapy and been present during sessions; they accompany either or both to external appointments and ensure their domestic situation is under control. They have even accompanied my aunt to see a residential care home.
We have an excellent relationship with the managers and director, who are careful to consult and report back at all times.
I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Reply from Ben Bushell, Director at Blossom Home Care Poole & Bournemouth

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the wonderful care providers at Blossom Home Care. Over the last few weeks they have supported us hugely as a family and worked with us to find the best care solutions for my Dad. From the management team to all the dedicated carers, they all stepped in to help us when
my Mum, my Dad's main carer, was suddenly admitted to hospital. Our family are all so grateful to everyone's care and dedication that we were able to continue to care for my Dad at home in his own surroundings with your help, and also offering overnight care when needed. My Dad felt comforted knowing we could continue the loving, kind routine my Mum provided. A big thank you to one staff member in particular from Blossom Care who called the ambulance for Mum and cared for her until we arrived. All hugely appreciated! Thank you so much for the wonderful service that you offer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words and thoughtful review. We are honoured to have been able to support your family during such a challenging time and help provide comfort and continuity for your dad in familiar surroundings. We will pass on your special thanks to the staff member who was there for your mum. Thank you again for your kind recommendation.

My mum decided she would rather be at home than a care home and we were recommended to try Blossom Home Care. From the initial meeting to discuss Mum's needs right through to the day she passed away, I can honestly say what an amazing company and team of people. They showed professionalism, compassion
and great care, looking after my mum and she was very happy with the carers who visited her twice daily. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We were so happy we could support your mum to stay in her home until she passed away. I will share your special comments with the team and thank you again for your kind words.

I needed to arrange for extra support for my mother after she had been in hospital following several falls and showing signs of declining memory.
The management team have, throughout, been extremely helpful and efficient at trying to find the best solution in providing care fitting around my mother's
needs and unpredictable moods.
They quickly find ways of resolving practical issues and it has been very reassuring to always have someone available to speak with on the phone when needed.
Having the same team of carers coming home has given my mother stability and has also allowed for build-up of trust.
I'm particularly grateful for the overall flexibility and peace of mind the Blossom Home Care team have been providing the last few months with kindness and understanding.

Reply from Ben Bushell, Director at Blossom Home Care Poole & Bournemouth

Thank you for the fantastic feedback on our service and team. We are so pleased to be able to support your mother, finding solutions to adapt our care around her changing needs. I will pass your lovely comments on to the team.

The carers from Blossom have made such a difference to my mum's overall health and well-being. My mum really enjoys their visits, in spite of being somewhat apprehensive initially about having unknown people visiting the house each day. The admin team at Blossom have been really receptive to any requests
to move visit times or switch carers, always accommodating these where possible. I have been really impressed with the overall professionalism, friendliness and quality of the Blossom team, I know my mum is in safe hands. Many thanks to everyone involved.

I had spent three months in hospital in intensive therapy unit and a coma. Whilst I could walk and talk again when I was discharged, I was a long way from being fully physically recovered.
Blossom Home Care enabled me and empowered me to become independent again.
Their carers gently encouraged me
to gradually regain the ability to fully self care.

Reply from Ben Bushell, Director at Blossom Home Care Poole & Bournemouth

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for such wonderful feedback. Being able to support your reablement and seeing you become independent again, after such a long time, is amazing to see and is exactly why we do what we do!

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