Mum’s carers have become part of the family, they’ve gotten to know Mum and her needs so well and are exactly what the family were hoping for and more.
We tried other companies first but there were so many changes, and it all became too much for Mum, not knowing who would be there to help her. Since we chose Live in Care, she’s been so much happier.
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.
I am delighted to have found Live in Care, as the service they provide for my father is outstanding. This is evident from all the contact I have had with their manager, office team, and the diligent care and attention provided by their first-class carers. Their online reporting system is second to none, enabling me to know in real time that everything is in order for my father. I thoroughly recommend this company for their entirely efficient, professional, and empathetic service, which has removed all my concerns over my father’s well-being.
Thank you, Live in Care, for enabling Mum to spend her last day at home, where she wanted to be. This has been a great comfort to us all and we couldn’t have asked for better care in the last few weeks.
