The service in friendly, personal and efficient.
Carer Charlene has been fantastic with our mother. Very professional and my mother only smiles when her name is mentioned. I am delighted that helpings hands are looking after our mother cannot speak highly enough about them.
Very Professional
Overall I am very pleased with the care my mum is getting. Mum says all the carers are very nice and they have all kept a very close eye on a bump she has on her leg which I am grateful for. The only reason I did not give a score of 5 is because of the lack on continuity of carers. In the 8 days up to last Saturday (10th August) mum had 8 different carers in as many days. One of the things we were assured when we started with Helping hands was that there would be continuity and that there would probably be 3 different carers (one main one and 2 others to cover holidays, days off etc). Each time someone new comes mum has to keep telling them what to do which is starting to frustrate her as she doesn’t want to keep having to do this. She really wants to see the same team of people so that she can get to know them and they can get to know her. I know Lorraine, her main carer is having an operation shortly which will take her out of action for quite a few weeks. I absolutely know this can’t be helped and I wish her all the best but I know mum will miss her as she has really taken to her and is now worried that there will be even more different people coming. If there is something that can be done to improve the continuity that would be great.
carers are really good, they care ABOUT the person, not just care FOR the person.. The care is however certainly not cheap!
When I first contacted Helping Hands, Lindsey was very helpful over the phone and kept in contact, and Marie Andrews came to meet us at mum and dad’s on Thursday last and she helped and advised us whilst talking to us all about the kind of support we wanted and that could be offered to help. Looking forward to hearing from her this coming week. Regards Bridget Roach
Found them very profesional
The lady who came out was really helpful and friendly and answered all our questions
Myles has been mostly and he has been easy to get on with, friendly & chatty but professional. Our whole experience of Helping Hands is a positive one so far, so thank you. Sandra
I am very pleased with the Service and the Care Helper who visites me every week on a Wednesday thank you
Poppy was very polite and helpful. She understood my request and arranged a meeting with no fuss
Michelle excellent in client relations. Shame no carer available to suit father’s needs
The assessor was patient, understanding and obviously experienced in care.
She was lovely with Mom and so understanding of the need to just say they were just coming to help with cleaning. Mom doesnt want a carer! So this was easier for Mom to accept. We are waiting to here the cleaners name for next Tue but we are happy.
Just perfect info
My Care’s i have are good i do not like two new carer together as i feel they are not trained to a high stranded or confident enough. When their have only been with helping hand a few week. i am not a paid member of staff. i a service user that have to teach carers how to put a six point sling on and also teach them how to put my pads on. I have not got a care plan present in my home so carer can not see what my needs are I would appreciate regular carers or a manager to over see my care.
The caters I have had have been really good
My Uncle is very happy with the service.
