Hear from our service users

A simple Thank you

As ever, thank you so very much to you and your team. I truly would not be able to cope without your amazing support. Nor would my mum. Only today my mum told me how much your team makes her feel “valued and happy”. Simply THANK YOU to you and your hard working team.

May I also take this opportunity to add that the support my mother, and I, receive from Forest Home Care is absolutely outstanding. I cannot begin to think what my mother’s life would be like without their dedication, professionalism and integrity.

A huge thank you Forest Homecare

May I just say a huge thank you Forest Homecare for the service and care over the past year for Mum Hilda. Mum would have also wished to thank everyone on the team who came to help her and support me.

Many thanks again

You’ve been amazing in the care you’ve provided

The Family have appreciated all your support, you’ve been amazing in the care you’ve provided and coordinating everything. It’s been much appreciated by myself.

ECC Social Services

It made a big difference

To the kind carers at Forest

I would dearly like to write to some of you personally than this note to everyone, but that would risk missing someone that has been especially kind to mum.

Thank you for your care with the help that mum needed in her final years. I especially want to thank those that gave the extra. It made a big difference and mum looked forward to your visits.

Thank you, to you, mums friends.

John

Always professional

I just wanted to send you my gratitude for the care and dignity that all of your staff who looked after Mum over the last seven months, always professional and made Mum’s life that much more comfortable, always having a laugh with her, she loved all of them. A great service by all.
