07/10/2021 – received Via compliment sent to the Care Quality Commission
We would like to share the comments that have been shared with us regarding the care and support you and your team recently provided to a person and their family. I spoke with the relative who couldn’t praise you enough:
Essential health were appointed to our family after a difficult experience with another company.
Despite the short notice the manager gathered all the information regarding our father in laws needs and current situation. The carers who were appointed had been well briefed by the Manager and attended to out father in law with skill and compassion. If someone had come o the house not knowing they would have thought they had been caring for B for a long time.
As well as caring for B’s needs they also supported the family both practically and emotionally for example ringing the district nurses and sharing observations of B, this support was invaluable.
As a company their ethos is “we will do the caring so you can be the family” and spend some quality time together. This is something they certainly do.
“Anyone who is given this company to care for their loved ones will feel as lucky as we do”
My Thanks to your team for providing such responsive and caring support for all concerned during what was a difficult time.
07/10/2021
Just to say thank you so much for getting your team to step in at short notice. They are amazing and I just what every family needs in what is an emotional, scary and tiring time trying to care for someone you love.
Carol , Mick, Jill, Stan, Rob, Julie and Dave.
Thank you

Dear Essential health
I am writing to thank your wonderful staff who supported my sister and I, in the weeks leading up to the passing of my late father AB
We cannot thank them enough for the outstanding care our father received from the moment Essential health became involved. Nothing was ever too much trouble for your staff, all of whom came into our family home with friendly smiles on their faces and a can-do attitude.
Your fantastic and professional staff guided us through one of the hardest times we have ever faced as a family, allowing our dad to pass away peacefully and with dignity in the home he loved and shared with my late mother.
We will never forget the kindness and compassion, and we take comfort in the fact that you are there to ease the burden for other families, particularly elderly people facing similar difficulties.
Yours Sincerely

I wanted to contact you to discuss the care my dad received from your company and your carers. I want to say what an amazing company you are, the carers are absolutely amazing, all of them, and in particular LP and CC, I have never met such lovely gentle caring and affectionate people. The empathy they showed to my dad was outstanding, they are outstanding carers all of them! I have to also say how lucky we feel to have known dad was cared for so well and nothing was too much to ask, they went above and beyond.

In particular Jan, Niki, Danielle, They made his last days very comfortable and happy with his “little “Title” and bell singing my ” Ding a Ling” they gave myself and the family strength to face what was to come we miss him so so much.
Thank you all once again.

Dear Wendy,
In this word where we come to, almost, expect poor service, may I please take this opportunity to thank you and your amazing staff for the care my dad received at his end of life.
He was treated with the upmost respect by all, especially the team of 2×2 Palliative care staff – they were exemplary! As a family, this was by far the most difficult thing we had ever had to handle and your ladies brought a little light into our dark space – we even had a little chuckle sometimes.
A special Thank you also to Jean who was with us on the final night – which was lovely because she was dad’s favorite.
The nature of Palliative work is that they must move on quickly to the next person in need, and so we do not get the opportunity to give them the thanks – and the hugs – that we would have liked.
And finally – all the admin staff – who try to juggle razor blades whilst standing on a 3-legged stool in quicksand. You have to react so quickly to changing situations and no one ever notices until it all goes wrong. I so appreciate everything you have ever done.
And I hope you remember this email when it is my turn! – the kids are eyeing me up ever more closely!
Best wishes to you all

We would just like to send wholehearted thanks to GB, KB and all staff o the Palliative care team, for their committed and dedicated care of our dad RB in the last few weeks of his life. Both GB and KB were compassionate, empathetic and made some very difficult days brighter. Their bright yet devoted demeanor brightened each and every day. Whilst caring for RB their support for mum was second to none and really helped and comforted her through the difficult days.
Thank you so much, angels in waiting!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Essential Health for the kind, caring , compassionate way they have dealt with mum-in-law, always putting her needs first and becoming friends of the family during the time they have cared for her at home.

CW is always professional, polite and engages in interesting conversation.
DP is professional in her care and everything is always done to the highest ability, she can put rollers in too which helps my daughter in the evening.
I find my carer excellent, understanding and helpful.
MW shows empathy towards my mum which is so important, she really cares for her and about her too.
SL is a top carer who spots any problems and health issues and reacts accordingly. Thank goodness she spotted a health problem when she did.
JC is a very friendly and reliable care giver, she is a credit to Essential health.
As well as her complete professionalism, PC is absolutely, lovely, funny and warm hearted.

We are very pleased as a family with the quality of care provided by JS for our mum. JS is very patient with mum especially when she doesn’t want to get out of bed. We appreciate all that JS does. JS couldn’t do anything better as far as we are concerned, she has a great relationship with mum, always keeps us updated as and when she needs to, she can get mum laughing.
DP is a very competent, kind and caring person, excellent care giver, I wouldn’t change anything.
CW is a really pleasant young lady, always very thorough and excellent Care Giver.

Thank you, for making the training comfortable and easy to follow. And Thank you for the Lunch and snacks. Looking forward to starting and being part of the team.

I never thought care like this existed. I’ve been given the best care for my Mum. I still cannot thank Essential health enough for the way they look after my mum. I feel very lucky.
CW is a lovely caring girl and works with a very mature work ethic. CW looks after my mum very well and they have lots of conversation about all things. I am confident that when she is on duty that my mum will be in safe hands. Mum looks on her as a friend or the granddaughter she never had 😊 she will put herself out to help mum whilst keeping a professional standard.
CA always comes in full of life and positivity. She engages in conversation with mum. She treats mum with dignity and respect and is thoughtful and mum sees her as a friend more than a carer, which for me as her daughter and only child gives me peace of mind.
We feel that DT is a very well established carer who is very thorough in all areas of her role. She is a credit to your company.
