OUR TESTIMONIALS
EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Viv Burns2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Filcare have been helping me support my mother over the last 2 years, following 2 major strokes, and their input has been invaluable. I have assisted her for many years with complex spinal problems, but when the first stroke happened a complicated situation became impossible to cope with. I contacted Girlee & Jane through hearing of their exceptional standards, but was still blown away by how compassionate and supportive they were. Since their initial involvement Filcare have been incredible and I could not have coped without their devoted staff. The situation has gradually progressed from assisting in an intermittent capacity to 24hr live in care and the current arrangement has required a bespoke team to be created that provided mum with the complex emotional and physical support that she needs. This was an extremely sensitive task and Filcare were more than up to the job. They liaised with me constantly and were meticulous in their efforts to make sure the arrangements were not just OK, but perfect. For all clients this must be a sensitive task but for my mum it was particularly challenging and Filcare have exceeded my expectations. We now have a team who mum trusts and feels comfortable with who are incredibly loyal and devoted. In the twilight years of mum's life I can honestly say that having Filcare around has been a breath of fresh air. The staff display a level of kindness and professionalism that needs to be celebrated because it is extremely rare. I was told by Girlee & Jane at the beginning that Filcare approach their clients as if they were their own family members and this is honestly true. Mum struggles day by day now but everything is made so much easier with the help of Filcare and the amazing team they have put together. I recommend Filcare at every opportunity I get, they are amazing. Tracey Pitt2025-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
