Comparing our experience with other agencies we have had, I consider us very lucky to have used Adico.
Because of my mothers dementia I found it crucial that the carers could communicate with my mother in good English and was not disappointed.
The girls were polite, professional and personable. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
I am writing to thank you and your team for the care you provided over the last six years to my father who died a week ago, aged 93.
We chose Adico after much research because it was a small local company and we were impressed by the initial meeting with Sophie. Dad needed help with housework once a week but we always knew Adico could be flexible if his needs changed. In the event Dad continued to look after his personal care until the end, but as he never did any housework it was good to know that someone was keeping the house clean, changing the bedding and looking out for him on a Friday. It meant that when we visited him we could spend quality time with him rather than doing the cleaning.
Last week Alison and Sasha visited to collect the blue folder and it was lovely to talk to them about Dad, learn a bit about them and Adico, and to thank them personally. I had spoken to Alison on the phone many times over the years and it was good to meet for the first time and put a face to the voice. Alison is a great ambassador for Adico. She has always been efficient, reliable, professional and friendly and we could always count on her if anything heeded doing.
We would like to thank all of your team but especially his ‘regulars’, Kay and more recently Tracy. They were both hard working and kind and cared for Dad as a person. They knew how to interact with him which wasn’t always easy due to his poor hearing, anxiety and confusion. I met them several times when visiting Dad and found it valuable to get their observations and thoughts on his condition.
Thanks also for the Christmas and birthday cards over the years, and more recently the condolence card. It’s a nice touch.
Finally I would like to thank you. Although we have never met I know that a company’s culture, values and ways of working come from the top. We wish you and Adico every success in the future.
Please pass on our family’s thanks and best wishes to all of your team.
“You are a wonderful bunch of girls and deserve far more than anyone gives you credit for, maybe one day, someone will wave a “magic wand” over all of you and give you true recognition. Till then keep up the good work and stay well and happy.”
We have been very impressed with the carers, whose attitudes and practical help have been very good indeed.
We have been happy with the care that Mum has received and would like to thank all the team who cared for her over the last month
Working for Adico has allowed me to have a great balance between career and family life. Flexible hours have allowed me to maintain two of the most important things in life, work and family. I love my job and would’t change it for anything.
Carer
I have worked for Adico Care for 8 years now and have never looked back. Initially, I worked in the community as a weekend carer. This role allowed me the flexibility that I required at the time to look after my young family during the week. Adico Care provide excellent training opportunities which has allowed me to progress to Admin and Recruitment Manager having completed my Level 5 in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People Services. I have also obtained Level 4 in Professional Supervision Practices and Level 3 in Training Management. The staff at Adico are a pleasure to work with, we all work well together to ensure that the care we are providing is second to none.

I enjoy working with my client’s, they are easy for me to get to. I’d like to thank Adico Care for taking me on as I don’t drive. Other companies have turned me down because of this in the past.
