View Full Details of Tamar HomecareThe carers are always cheerful and put up with my husband's bad jokes. It's nice that we have mostly the same 4 or 5 carers each week, as he does like his routine. They take the time to talk to him as they are completing his personal care, which is good as otherwise it's mostly just myself that chats to him.
Everything fine and going well. Timing of visits are good. Prefer regular carers, but not always possible. Good to be able to chat and build relationships with the carers.
Everybody tries their best to ensure I have a good standard of care. There have been some frustrating things that happen from time to time, for example, there is a lack of consistency due to the high number of carers assigned to me. This is more prevalent when people are on holiday, which is understandable. Overall, I am happy but I think care providers need to understand how it feels to be cared for by someone who lacks experience. Obviously, it’s a collaborative relationship in which I have responsibility towards how I’m cared for but as someone who has fatigue, it’s exhausting having to explain what needs to be done to new carers so often. However, it takes time to get used to being cared for so I am sure things will keep improving.
