What Our Clients Say

Our whole family are so grateful to The Great Care Company. The service is very good, the girls are fantastic and we never have any issues. It can be really hard to see your loved ones need care and it brings us peace of mind knowing that we can rely on The Great Care Company. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Peter – Client’s Relative

The carers are lovely and really helpful. They all seem really happy and brighten up the day with their visits. Our family would be lost without them. It’s the reassurance that you get from knowing that you can rely on them to attend and provide a really good quality care. We have been so impressed.

Andrew – Client’s Son-In-Law

Our experience with the Great Care Company has been exemplary. The people who visit are lovely and nothing is ever too much for them to do. My father-in-law has received excellent care from each carer, saying quite often that they are kind, caring and professional. We are delighted by the service and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you.

Iris – Client’s Daughter-In-Law

Very pleased with the service. Since my elderly mum started to get visits, it has not only helped with the challenges of daily life but also with her general well-being. Not only do they help with daily chores, but they are always reliable, friendly and take time to chat. The friendly chats are as helpful as the more practical help.
