Families have nothing but praise for the way carers look after their loved ones in their own homes.

The wife of one man said: “The carers are all very professional but more importantly, they are friendly and funny and will always to go ‘the extra mile’.”

One daughter said: “Very caring staff who interact well with my dad.

“They have his best interests at heart and are very good about letting the family know if there is anything we should be aware of.”

One granddaughter said: "Every one of the carers loved granny like she is one of their own and she feels the same about them.

"They cared for her with kindness and enthusiasm daily.

"Mum and I came to rely on them as though they were an extension of us.

"Carefound will look after your loved ones well and come to feel like family." 

One woman commended the care her mother-in-law receives.

She said: “My relative was very resistant to the idea of carers before they started but they quickly formed a rapport.

“Their visits now brighten her day, keep her more in touch with reality and make our lives less stressed.”

A man praised staff for the tenderness they gave to his 93-year-old brother-in-law with late-stage dementia.

He said: “The care, compassion and consideration by managers and staff from the initial needs assessment to delivery of care were exemplary and always professional.

“Carers rapidly developed a warm rapport and treated him with respect.

“He welcomed their presence, greeting them as friends”
