I have been with Agincare since 2018 I was with central branch then moved to the North branch no disrespect to central but in my opinion the North branch is by far the best Karen Harding runs that office singled handed and I can't fault her she has supported me and it is heart felt not because she has to as a manager I can talk to her about anything at any time the North is lucky to have her!!!

We felt the assessor understood and listened to my Mother and to us. And there was quick response regarding a live-in carer at short notice. We wait and see.

Welcome at Waterloo Care Home

I found the care home friendly and welcoming and it felt very homely and I was pleased to place my elderly father there for his care. It was a speedy efficient service. My father is settling in well and I would not hesitate to recommend Agincare to anyone else looking for a placement.

St. Peter's Park - Bexhill

We recently moved my mother in law to an Agincare home, St Peter's Park in Bexhill on Sea. The home itself is very good and the advice we received from Ben Paice was excellent throughout. The whole process from seeing the home and choosing her room right through to my mother in law arriving, was extremely smooth and easy. The home is efficiently run, the staff kind and caring and the facilities are very comfortable. My mother in law is very happy there and we are relieved to have her being well cared for. Highly recommend.

Awful Place

My Mum was placed in here for rest bite due to her Alzheimer's via social services. This was supposed to be a secure facility giving family members like me peace of mind.

However, Mum managed to walk out of the building on a couple of occasion undetected and luckily returning to her home. On one occasion the home contacted the police to remove her from her home.

I found the staff very unprofessional; I observed them leaving doors on the latch give residents access to such areas as the kitchen.

At one point they accused my farther of giving my Mum the code to the front door, this dumfounded me as she has Alzheimer's and would never remember. This really upset my Farther and it was at this point he wanted her moving to another home.

Trust me I'd remove this one star if I could. If you want the best for your loved one DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I cannot put into speech how appalling and incompetent they are. The thought that our local council is actually paying them to care within our community gives me goose bumps. I feel sick and extremely sad right now! When we've reached the bottom of their galactic errors I'll give a more detailed reasons as to why this company needs shutting down ASAP!

Caring and helpful people

Had to find a care home for my aunt. Agincare were very helpful on the phone (as i live 200 away). They emailed me everything and kept me informed either by phone or email. When my aunt went into the care home, the care home phone me to say she had arrived and has settled in well.

Appalling!!!

I felt compelled to write this review as I'm absolutely appalled at the so called care my 97 year old father has recently received. I visited my father for the week and during that time we had carers turn up late *twice in one day), medication missed, (one being an important antibiotic due to a chest infection), medication not signed off, conveen being fitted incorrectly (several times) thus causing my poor father to being wet and having to get my father up during the early hours of the morning to strip bed and change pyjamas, and the list goes on. So, I do not recommend this "care" company at all. Beware if you are considering this company.

New resident at Agincare care home

Staff were very welcoming to both my parents on arrival, on different days at the care home. A cup of tea for us all would have been good however.
My father is very poorly. When I visited him yesterday afternoon he didn't seem to be attended by any care staff. Also as he had COVID I would like to have been able to open the windows for my own protection. My mother has been a resident for 11 days but doesn't seem to have had a shower or hair wash. Her skin seemed to be lacking the daily application of prescribed cream. A small niggle that all her washed clothes were stuffed together in one drawer.

Absolutely flawless

From the very first contact Aaron and all the team at Agincare have been extremely kind, caring, professional and responsive. They provided live-in carers for my late mother. Whilst we all know that care of this type is costly, frankly we should have done it sooner. Agincare vastly improved the quality of life for mum in her last few months. Their quality of provision was more than I could have hoped for. I highly and unreservedly recommend their services.

Joanna who came to do the assessment, was sensitive, empathetic, professional and quickly grasped the situation. Every communication I have had with Agincare was answered immediately. So refreshing to make a phone call and have a friendly human (Ben) answer immediately.

Good so far

My mum has only been at Cordelia House for 3 days. So far we have been pleased with the communication. Staff seem friendly and attentive. Was a bit sad that no one has been putting mums glasses on. They were clearly visible on the chest of drawers in her bedroom.

Poor communication between the Care…

Poor communication between the Care Home and their Head Office, phone calls not returned. The activities co-ordinator was off sick with long covid and new care staff led to my husband spending his respite week spending virtually all his time in his room, not the experience I was hoping he would have. No socialising or encouragement, my husband’s mental and physical well-being deteriorated in the space of a week. The respite was to give me a Carers break but I regret my decision to put my husband into this home. I was hoping that as a community village he would interact with others, but there were different allocated dining rooms which also prevented this. Sadly I will be looking elsewhere if my husband agrees to go into respite again.
