What a relief to find a company that goes the extra mile. Amanda cared for mum as if she was a family member. So thoughtful and kind. And knowing that there was solid back-up from Elder in case of an emergency while I was out of the country made all difference. I will definitely be using them again. The whole experience was easy.

Excellent Support and Care
With our mum being discharged from hospital and needing someone to be with her 24 hours a day, Elder provided excellent support to ensure she could return to her own home. From the initial contact who helped us choose a suitable carer, through the carer themselves who provided excellent support, professionalism and experience ...

Personal choice of care suited to the individual
Elder gave us lots of information regarding setting up Live In Care, spent time explaining the various contracts applicable to our families care. Really liked the video information guides the carer's themselves gave helping us to choose a carer with the best needs for our parents ...

Thank goodness for Elder
I spoke to Matt who was so caring, understanding and helpful about what we needed in a carer. His empathy was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. He didn't rush me into any decision but made it clear they could help immediately. I was so reassured by him. The carer we had was excellent ...

We have been very impressed with Elder
We have been very impressed with Elder. They have been really good at finding carers. Alll the carers have been very very good, kind, organised and helpful. The liaison with Elder has been excellent right from our initial contact. Our family liaison person - Josie - is so prompt to reply and picks up and deals with any issues quickly, nicely and efficiently. We would recommend Elder highly.

Kindness and advice. From my very first conversation with…
From my very first conversation with Elder I felt I was listened to and advised by people who cared. Every single member of the team gave me time and really understood the complexities of my need for my Mother. I cannot speak highly enough of this organisation

The Angel of the North - Josephine
Elder were able to provide me with a live-in carer to help me care for my disabled husband after I had an operation. The carer, Josephine, was fantastic, she listened carefully to what help was needed and was very capable, efficient, cheerful and carried out her duties with a sense of fun. Would highly recommend both Elder and Josephine.

Elder have been helpful
Elder have been helpful, and easy to deal with from my first enquiry until now. They have continued to keep in touch to assess how the care for my mother is going, and are we happy and satisfied . I also appreciate that the price they give you, is the price you pay. No hidden costs as I’ve found with a previous company.

Kind and Professional Care
From the moment I rang to enquire about Elder, our situation began to improve. Staff were kind and professional and understood the situation with Mum. I couldn't believe that they could find us someone to help in just a few days. Our carer is wonderful and such a huge help for Mum but also for us. They made such a worrying time so much easier.

In home care for my 93 old relative
We needed a quick turnaround for in home care for my 93 year old godfather, to bridge a gap between him leaving a care home and another agency providing him care. I placed a call to Elder on a Wednesday, and by Saturday we had a carer in place. She was amazing, dramatically improving the quality of life for my godfather. The customer service from Elder was first class ...

Fantastic
We used to have Helping Hands to care for our mum with dementia and when we started having problems with them we asked Elder to take over the live in care. What a difference, fantastic staff, great communication and the carer we have is absolutely fantastic!
