Award-winning Live-in Care

Thank you to all the carers who make my mother feel comfortable and listened to and who look after her so well.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2020, and we thought it wise to seek professional help, mainly in terms of companionship, so that we could build friendly and trusting relationships between our carer and ourselves. Our carer has also got to know our family, neighbours and friends in the community and my wife looks forward to her visits. Our carer is friendly and encouraging and it means that I can have some time on my own, knowing that my wife will be enjoying herself in safe hands. Our carer is happy to take my wife out for a walk, visit a cafe or remain in our home or garden.
Our future is uncertain, but I feel encouraged and supported in difficult times.

Finding care for my father in his locality has been a challenge. 18 months ago he was discharged from a rehab unit and sent home where he lives alone. He had temporary bridging care.
I went through the list of local care companies and I could tell from the way that Chesterford handled the call that they would be the best solution to my father’s needs. They were stretched but were prepared to work him into the already busy schedule. All of the carers have dealt with his denial of the need for care…..he now looks forwards to the visits….they are part of his life.
He is at risk of falling and on more than one occasion, the carers have had to deal with the implications of this which they have done perfectly. It is our intention to keep my father at home, this will only be possible with the continued high level of care and support provided by Chesterford.

I can in no way fault the staff I have met who care for my father-in-law.
They are very caring, kind and have empathy towards their client.
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Chesterford Homecare.

When there was a need to clarify or comment on a particular need concerning my mother’s care this always received immediate attention.
The choice of live-in carer was such that my mother was provided with a new friendship as well as someone who attended to her physical needs.

My mother has received support via 3 times a day visits for nearly a year now. I have been extremely satisfied with the professionalism and caring attitude of both front line staff and the management. It has been very helpful that there is one carer who undertakes the majority of visits and therefore has a deep understanding of, and empathy with, my mother’s needs. But other carers who make more occasional visits also provide excellent and consistent backup. Managers are assiduous in contacting me promptly if the visiting carers identify any issues.
