I was very upset at the (non) service this company provided. I set up for
carers on two separate occasions. The
first had no Covid 19 vaccinations and she was coming to deliver care to a 90 year old man. This fact was never discussed with me, which was outrageous. The person was traveling on public transport and was coming to care for a very frail gentleman who had just come out of hospital following pneumonia. It was only a chance question on my behalf that the discovery was made. The second carer, was a young man who failed to turn up for two days despite contacting me to say he would be arriving

Working for Elder has made me turn pale from embarrassment for continuing with them after the first time, then I faced an unwarrented dismissal. Sent to two dangerous families out of three, and was 'supported' to stay in these situations, not removed safely from them. Not sure if they recognised the red flags from my feedback about the families or ignored them, both neglectful tendencies equally abhorrent.

One family to my knowledge never complained for 6/8/9 months, but when I handed in an unfit for work note (as they impacted my mental health making me unwell) the disgruntled family likely complained

Working with elder was horrible! terrible experience probably one of the worse companies I had ever worked for !!! I had met some really lovely clients through them And a few good experiences only due to the clients/families , but we had 0 support from the office. they dont treat theyre carers well they dont care about us, they dont even give training I wouldnt trust elder company with any of my family members, they literally hire anyone and put you on a platform to book shifts, they dont even go visit theyre clients home for any health and safety measurements they give

Hi, some months ago I was tasked with finding a live-in carer for an elderly friend and neighbour. Quite a task as the that elderly lady was only to be discharged from hospital if we could find 24 hour care for her, due to her frailty short-term memory loss. After Googling several care companies, none of which seemed able to meet the needs I laid out, I tried Elder Care. From the word go Elder listened, sympathised, noted what our needs were and were genuinely concerned to provide a carer to meets the needs I'd outlined for my neighbour. There are many plus factors when Elder come to your aid

Working for Elder has been a wonderful experience. They are very professional and helpful with every call you make. I love that they also ask us, the carers, on advise for any improvements within the company. This shows that they value our opinions and it is a team work rather than employer vs. employee. Thank you for all your kindness Elder!

Generally good service and support so far from Elder. Every effort made to identify my elderly mother's needs and personality at the start of the process. We have had three carers so far, two who have been excellent. The third was not suitable however this was quickly resolved once the problem had been raised. Overall I would recommend.
