 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, the entire Cavendish Homecare team was exceptional. Zahrah, Winnie, Bernadette, Danijela, Sarah, and caregiver Kleah were all incredibly attentive, meticulous, patient, and understanding throughout the entire experience. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. A special note of appreciation for Kleah, whose level of care truly stood out. She was not only highly attentive and supportive, but also consistently thoughtful, thorough, and detail-oriented in everything she did. Her communication was excellent, and she made sure we always felt informed, reassured, and confident that everything was being handled with the utmost care. Her genuine kindness and dedication made a real difference, and we are deeply grateful for the comfort and trust she provided. We are truly grateful to have found a trusted partner in London that we can depend on every time we visit. It is rare to find a team that is so consistently accommodating and dedicated to providing such high-quality caregiver services. I would trust no one else with the care of my loved ones besides the outstanding staff at Cavendish Homecare.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Cavendish. I was very nervous about getting a caregiver (as it was my first time and didn’t know what to expect) but I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver provided by Cavendish. Made a huge difference in my day to day. The team genuinely care about you at every step. If you are looking for home care, Cavendish would be your best choice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I required a registered nurse at short notice to support a friend as she approached end of life. I contacted Mairead at Cavendish Homecare Professionals. She was immediately reassuring and responsive to my request and sent a wonderful professional and caring nurse to support my friend and carers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a private nurse from Cavendish Homecare on the day my mum died to stay by her bedside while she was in a side room in Charing Cross hospital I was on my own, exhausted, frightened of what might happen, and had to go home that evening to sleep. From the moment Arrah (nurse) entered my mums room, she brought a calm, gentle presence, explained clearly what was happening, and did everything she could to keep Mum comfortable and dignified I said goodbye to mum and Arrah was with her during her last breaths that evening. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for Mum and for me and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing skilled and compassionate support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea and, to get my driving licence back, need to contol it, and for that, I need a mask. The Professor to whom I was referred issued me with a Fisher & Paykel Simplus mask, which, while I was wearing it, did prevent me from suffering sleep apnoea; but only by preventing me from getting to sleep in the first place - obviously, for sleep apnoea to happen, the patient has to be asleep in the first place!  Supervisor Cathrina from Cavendish (who look after me) decided to send me one of their nurses, Nurse Edna (Pardenas), who confirmed that I was handling the mask correctly; but its shape is totally unsuitable for someone with a nose as large as mine (It isn't that large. Any manufacturer with more of a conscience than F&P would have put the relevant health warning on that particular piece of kit). Cavendish, in general, and in particular Nurse Edna are to be commended for this first step towards my effective treatment (I didn't need her for the subsequent steps that led to identifying the BMC F6 hybrid mask as one that works for me).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cavendish provided exemplary care for my uncle in his final six weeks, allowing him to remain at home and be cared for with the utmost skill and dignity.  Denise was able to put in place 24/7 care within hours of me calling her.  She sent Jonathan and Michael to us. They treated my uncle, in his own words, “like a king,” and he could not have been in better hands as his condition changed and deteriorated.  We are so very grateful to them, Esnart, Denise and the whole team who worked in partnership with the many NHS teams involved in my uncle’s care and were an absolute rock for the family as we navigated the most difficult of times.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cavendish were so helpful when I needed help finding carers for a relative of mine who suddenly fell very ill. Mairead also sent me resources to doctors and other facilities in my area that could help with their treatment. Jeann, Joann and the other carers made a difficult time so much easier and massively helped my relatives recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cavendish Homecare provided truly exceptional care for my Aunty in her end of life care for cancer at home. We contacted them in a crisis, as gaps and stretched capacity within the NHS meant that my Aunty's final days were not proving painfree and dignified. I will always be grateful to Mairead for her efforts to find us someone that very night, despite the late hour of our call. She went to great efforts, and we had a night nurse to our home within hours. The care we received from nurses Clarita, Jean and Gemma was beyond exceptional. They cared for my Aunty with such respect, kindness and expertise, and ensured that her last days were pain-free and dignified. They also made the world of difference to us as a family - the worry and responsibility for care were taken away and we could focus on spending our Aunty's last hours with her. Thank you so much for everything.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter is in London and we are in the U. S. After surgery in London, we needed help for her and contacted Cavendish. The homecare she received from Cavendish was extraordinary and clearly helped us feel more at ease that she was in good hands. The caregivers are special people and we are very grateful for how they have helped our family;

Thank you from me and her children Miranda, Felix and Gabriel.

I cannot fully express my gratitude to Karen and Ara for their kindness and skill in nursing my children's mother through her last week. They did so much to help us all, and more importantly Marjorie, through their consideration and experience. Thank you both from the depths of my heart.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cavendish Home care have allowed me to become more independent and achieve things I never thought possible. This is because I do not have to worry about my care at home such as the organisation of nurses and whether they can meet my complex needs. Any concerns are swiftly dealt with. There is always someone available if any issues arise. As I have such a holistic agency looking after me now, I can concentrate on enjoying life. I would highly recommend to anyone who is needing home care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cavendish provided care to my terminally ill 93 year old mother in her own home and during her last weeks of life. Her carers’ concern for her mental and physical wellbeing was unstinting. They fully respected her need to remain as independent and private as possible whilst ensuring she was safe and comfortable. They anticipated her needs so that we were able to plan ahead and ensure we had all necessary support in place as she declined. They were also very kind to me and kept me constantly updated when I could not be with her myself. I also found that the Cavendish team who dealt with my initial enquiries and ensured appropriate care was put in place were very responsive, efficient and approachable.

I would 100% recommend & use again without hesitation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a nurse to come to my house almost every day for about 6 weeks, to pack and dress a wound under my armpit. This is a very painful procedure: the first time I had it done (by a different nurse) it was so painful I actually cried. But Arrah, the nurse who was provided for me by Cavendish Homecare, was so gentle and kind that she made the whole process much more bearable. She kept up a steady stream of friendly chit-chat, to distract me from the horrible business at hand, and was always very sensitive to my pain levels. She looked after me so well that the wound healed much faster than expected. The whole thing has took a month and a half, instead of the predicted three months. I can wholeheartedly recommend both Arrah and Cavendish Homecare.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

The Difference
We Make...

“A big thanks to all at Cavendish Homecare for all your help, Mum was able to have a lovely stay in London just as she wished.”

“Our carer helped make our week in London for a family event such a wonderful experience. My ageing parents were making the trip over from the US and my father has mobility and cognitive issues. We did not know what to expect and from the moment our carer showed up, she put my parents at ease. She was wonderful and helpful, proactive and warm, and I don’t think we could’ve asked for better help and support for this important event.”

“Your Nurses cared so well for Mum. Small things such as brushing her hair regularly, massaging her feet, hands and head, talking to her and taking her non-verbal cues into account.”
