I have been with Assisted Lives for a number of years and yes there have
been ups and downs. More ups than downs. The manager is understanding
and patient and very empathic. Most of his staff are the same.
Circumstances in my husband's care mean leaving the company, but I do
want to thank them for all they have done, I could never have gotten to
this point without them.

This firm was appointed by Social Services to visit 3 times a day for 30
minutes. On too many occasions the carers attended for a lot less than
this - the fastest being 1 minute 40 seconds. The carers would nip in
at unregular times and mix up a shake, then leave without using any
initiative to use the rest of the time they were contracted for to do
chores eg - floors would be unclean, bins overflowing, decaying food in
the kitchen. Even when asked politely to do these things they weren’t
done. The client was charged for 90 minutes to do his shopping and they
would fill his fridge with cheap ready meals which were left to go out
of date. The shopping was not tailored to his needs - rather whatever
was convenient - by week 4 he had four jars of coffee. The 'carers'
clearly weren’t making this service person-centred, it was more based on
their convenience. Most of the carers failed to wear a lanyard with ID.
Extremely poor and fraudulent. Reported to police.
