The 'Good Care Group' have, to date, lived up to all expectations.
"Thank you"

On the whole my experience with the Good Care Group has been very good. I am in particular very satisfied with the two carers who are now looking after my mother in the final stages of Alzheimers disease. One of my mother's carers in particular is exceptional and beyond all reasonable expectations. She offers love and care that is wonderful to witness. She has transformed my mother's life. Her personal care of my mother and her skin ensures that she is comfortable and virtually pain free despite having been bed bound for nearly two years. She is extremely efficient and responds instantly and appropriately to all my mother's needs and with other agencies and carers. Most exceptional is her tender love and care and the respect she has for my mother. She is affectionate and loving towards her and sensitive to her every change of mood. My mother's mood has transformed from wanting to die to being content and happy. My mother, virtually purrs with the sensation of being loved and truly holistically cared for in every sense. I will never be able to thank her enough. I could not have hoped for such wonderful care.

The Agency is quick to respond to changes in my mother's needs and to manage any difficulties that there have been from time to time in the past when carers have been ill or I have not been happy with a particular carer. Most of her emergency fill-in carers have been very good. Management is quick to respond to my requests, including at weekends.

I truly believe that my mother would have been dead by now had it not been for the care that she is currently receiving and I feel confident that she will end her life with dignity and love in a way that she never could have in residential care and I say this in the knowledge of having worked in residential care myself.

The Good Care Group make a real effort to match the carer with the client. We have only experienced excellent carers on a two weekly cycle. When there have been problems (unfortunately caused by the client) they have been quickly sorted out and a new carer put in place.
It is so reassuring to know that my father is in capable hands.

The Good Care Group was by far and away the best, most responsible andmost caring Organisation that we came accross in this field during a four year period of caring for my mum -- who wanted to maintain her independence, personality and integrity during the last years of her life.

They take responsibility for the care and police their carers accordingly. They seem to employ carers with much more personality and wit than others we came accross and the carers were anxious to take on the responsibility necessary.

They're not cheap ( versus others available) but , if you've got the cash , its worth the extra.

Not everything was perfect. During the time we were with them they never fully mastered the concept of organising a regular relief carer when one of the two main carers took time off/ holidays. They need to improve this element of the care package to offer a perfect ( if expensive) service.

My mother had both liver and lung cancer and despite having 2 rounds of chemo therapy did not respond well. She went into a nursing home for a weeks respite care but it was clear she was not going to get better and we needed to put 24hr care in place as soon as possible.

We were recommended to try the Good Care Company and they were outstanding. In less than a week they had checked mum's house, visited mum in the nursing home to assess her and provided a 24hr carer to enable mum to return home for the last few weeks. They took all the stress and strain of organising things and liaising with doctors, district nurses and the hospice team to ensure everything was ready and in place for mum.

The carers they provided were fantastic with mum, they were caring, understanding and nothing was too much trouble making mums last weeks as comfortable and peaceful as possible. They also took the initiative in contacting the doctor and nursing team whenever necessary which also took a lot of weight off me.

My families experience with the Good Care Company could not have been better and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for 24hr care for a sick relative. Thank you Good Care Company for all you have done for mum and us : )
