Below are a few selections of kind words from clients and their families.
“I cannot thank everyone at Broomfield enough for the care and compassion they showed my friend who wanted to stay in her own home, rather than move into a nursing home. Not only did they provide personal care, give her medication and make meals, they also ensured her dog had his meals too. The final couple of weeks of my friend's life were extremely difficult, but there was always someone at Broomfield available to come and help with palliative care, or be on the end of the phone providing support. Thank you!”
Jen C (Friend of Client)
“Excellent service. All the staff were very kind and respectful. We would definitely use them again in the future if needed. We only used them for a few weeks while Dad recovered from a hip replacement, but we would highly recommend them.”
Karen B (Daughter of Client)
“Absolutely the best care and attention, and I would go as far as saying above and beyond. The carers were fantastic, and nothing was too much trouble. The care my late father received was wonderful, the support that I received must be mentioned, and the priceless help and advice were very welcome. I can honestly recommend them wholeheartedly.”
Judy J (Daughter of Client)
“Mum has carers that visit her four times per day and always find them helpful, friendly and professional. The same applies to my dealings with the management. I feel we were very fortunate to choose Broomfield and be one of their clients. Thoroughly recommended.”
David B (Son of Client)
“I am writing to say how much we have appreciated the kindness and professionalism shown towards my wife during the time we have used your services. Their work ethic has been beyond reproach. This applies to every member of your staff. We would have no hesitation if, hopefully not, to call upon you again. Although I was not a part of the deal they also treated me with consideration after my discharge from hospital.”
Mr G B Love
“The staff have been excellent always friendly, calm and caring and compassionate. We could never thank you enough for all the love and support you gave mum, you all brightened her day and she felt you were all her extended family.”
“The staff always treated mum with respect, and made mum feel very special and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Broomfield Care it gave us peace of mind knowing mum was well cared for.”
Mrs S Yerby
“The whole service was amazing – it is patient centered and takes a holistic view of the situation not just ‘patching things up’. Cannot praise the company highly enough and made sure they knew when a couple of carers went the extra mile too, I just felt my mother was in safe hands.”
Karen Eaton (daughter of a client)
“Most excellent, caring and professional. Importantly, my Mother looked forward to her “friends” coming to see her!”
J Brown
“My sister and I want to thank all of those involved in Mum’s care over the past months for their cheerful approach and interest in Mum’s well-being. Although she was resistant to having ‘these people’ coming into her home she quickly welcomed the Broomfield carer as her friend and helper. This was great reassurance to us and Kath’s son and daughter and could not have been achieved without the Broomfield team’s support, we are grateful to everyone. Thank you all again for everything you did to make mum’s life in her own home this year as comfortable as possible.”
Rob Carruthers (son of a client)
“Thank you for looking after mum, I can’t believe that it’s a year in July that she died, still lost without her. All she wanted was to go home and for her girls to look after her.”
Pat (daughter of a client)
“One of the best decisions I have made.” “Very supportive and encouraging – in both my health and wellbeing”
Linda Tait
“Thank you for taking such good care of Joe and Lillian and for the support you offered myself and Paul. You are a credit to your company. May I thank Broomfield for an excellent professional service during a very difficult and turbulent time for our family, I will not hesitate to recommend your company for home care services to others if asked in the future.”
Julie and Paul Collinson (children of a client)
“You are, without exception, all stars and long may you twinkle! – thank you all so much”
Bill Frape
“Please thank everyone involved for looking after Joan whilst Jan and I had a much needed break. We were able to relax knowing she was in good hands.”
Bob Kilmister
“I cannot speak too highly of all aspects of the care my husband received; always on time, wonderful care and the same carers that he knew and felt extremely comfortable with. The dignity shown is also a very important point as he was never made to feel as if he was just a job to be done. They were so caring and thoughtful to his needs, which is very important. Also they were a pleasure to have in the house and the fun and laughter made my husband’s day.”

Mrs B (client’s wife)
“Can I extend my thanks to your carers. Dad has taken to them quickly and we are very happy with their service.”
Peter Stone (son of a client)
“You’ve been my rock – what are we going to do without you?? Thank you sooo much for everything you’ve done for Katherine (and me!) over the last 4 1/2 years – she could never have come this far without you!”
Meg Sugrue
“Broomfield Care came out to assess my needs in the first instance. We felt that the organisation understood my requirements. The staff have always been reliable, on time, staff friendly, helpful, nothing too much trouble. I feel a burden has been removed from my life; they are such a caring company.”
Beryl W
“My elderly Aunt, who lived in Shurdington, was very independent. She loved her home in which she had lived for about 40 years. She had had a healthy life, but at the age of 92 she started to decline rapidly, and could no longer look after herself. She was determined to stay in her own home. I discovered Broomfield on this website and talked to the Care Manager – an excellent decision. Broomfield put in place a care plan, and we adjusted this as my Aunt’s needs grew steadily greater.
The Broomfield carers were superb – friendly, supportive, efficient, thoughtful, reliable, and supremely professional. They communicated exceptionally well with my Aunt who grew very fond of them, with the NHS staff involved, and with me as Next of Kin. They were with her at her very end, and I am eternally grateful to them.
My only regret is that my Aunt and I didn’t talk to Broomfield a couple of years before her decline set in. I’m sure she would have benefited hugely from their service.”
David Webb
“My Aunt aged 98 was a very independent, determined lady and it took a lot of persuasion to convince her the time had come to benefit from professional home care. Living in Australia it was necessary for us to make numerous internet enquiries and telephone calls to seek the appropriate care. Fortunately, we came across Broomfield who impressed us at being professional, caring and extremely helpful. Despite being in Australia, Broomfield dealt competently with every aspect of the care needed and kept us fully informed of all developments. In view of my Aunt’s very poor health, it was necessary to phone almost daily for updates and Broomfield were always available to talk things through. Broomfield made early morning visits to my Aunt and she often mentioned the friendly chats she had with her carers which quickly became the highlight of her day.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in stating that Broomfield should be considered everyone’s ‘Carer of Choice’.”
