A terrible company, with poor management. I've been with Hales Group
Newcastle since May 2024 and definitely wouldn't recommend them to
anyone remotely vulnerable or unwell. Their carers are poorly trained,
don't always complete tasks and are not at all empathetic or caring (as
carers are supposed to be!). If you report issues to management, they
will ignore you for months. When you finally get exasperated enough to
formally complain, the company will attempt to discredit you, deny any
wrongdoing and carers will suddenly start writing untrue statements
about you in their care notes. Management also lie constantly. For
example: Hales Group are supposed to be fulfilling a care package paid
for by the Council, consisting of 1 hour domestic duties and 1 hour of
personal care. Only, for the first six months they refused to provide
any personal care, claiming "We don't do that". They're now
attempting to claim I refused any personal care and it wasn't in my care plan.
