Client review
★★★★★
“Really happy with the help and support my dad received from the carers during his time with Elgar Care. From the initial meeting with their care manager, who is absolutely delightful, to
all aspects of looking after my dad’s personal hygiene, Elgar Care made it so easy. I am particularly grateful as Elgar Care stepped in at a very difficult time and were the only company who would consider coming to our rural area when all others said we were too far
away.

“As a family we have been supported by this organisation for over 2 years, and I have no hesitation in saying that the team at Elgar Care are excellent. Throughout my Dad’s battle with motor neurone disease, they provided outstanding and compassionate care- always responsive to changing needs for Dad as well as deeply supportive of our family as a whole. In addition to the day-to-day carers providing front line care, staff in the office were always available to provide advice. Staff supporting Dad liaised closely with Hospice professionals and when needed
undertook additional training to ensure that they were able to provide the highest standard of care at all times. Staff whom we now consider to be friends- continue to care for my Mum and to provide the same support that we
can be certain of. THANK YOU for everything you do.
