The service is professional, efficient, friendly, and respectful. Nothing appears too much trouble. They made a prompt and accurate assessment of my mother’s needs and quickly identified a fantastic carer. When they had concerns about my mother’s health the service manager made a personal visit to check that everything was being done that needed to be done.
It’s not just the everyday care that makes such a difference to Mum’s life; it’s the little things that are always thought of. Mum has been out of her home more in the last 6 months than she has in the last 6 years. Seeing photos of her smiling face, full of laughter, tells us how much she has enjoyed the company, activities, and outings. We definitely picked the right live in care provider.
How thoughtful it was for you to send the templates of Van Gogh’s masterpieces for my wife to paint. It was so kind of you and whilst my wife can no longer create her own masterpieces, I know she’ll enjoy these, and they will provide some stimulation.
Moving to live-in care at home was such a big decision for the family and we wanted to make sure we got it right for Mum and Dad. From the first instance when we made the call to Live in Care it felt right, their understanding and empathy was evident, and they gave great advice too. We’re so pleased we made the right decision, and our parents are the happiest they’ve ever been, safe at home with wonderful care.
Live In Care has been brilliant. My mother had a fall and could no longer manage on her own. From the first assessment appointment, all the members of staff have been both super friendly and professional, they are always responsive, and their work is focused clearly on ensuring that Mum is happy. The carers have been extremely conscientious, and Mum now has a longer-term carer whom she feels thoroughly spoilt by. I still can’t quite believe that Mum is being taken care of so well. It has been a huge relief, and I am so glad and grateful that I found Live In Care.
