Testimonials

“Rebecca, Honora, Daniela and Angela made it possible for Flor to experience home as a very safe environment over the last 10 days. They were totally dedicated and so supportive. I am indebted to Rebecca in particular as she carried the major burden of care. She worked so hard in an incredibly focussed way to give him the best care possible. She brought him back to full strength after his hospitalisation. She has been really remarkable and impressive.”

'I’ve never looked back since joining the Co-op, it’s the best thing I ever did. I now have a voice. We work with clients and their family to co create care plans. Nothing is hidden, we have a say in everything. We support, encourage and learn from each other. We are valued for what we do and treated with respect and dignity. None of this was possible with my previous employers.”

“I’ve honestly never been happier in my job as a Carer since I started working for The Great Care Co-op. Working in this model has allowed me to fully utilise my skills as a Carer. I’m no longer stressed, I’m paid really well with a travel expense contribution and I have a pension (which I never would have considered if not encouraged here) with a 5% contribution from the company. Being a part of a co-operative and working in a self-managed team means that I get to accept the hours that suit my life with the full support of my team and my clients get the best quality of care as a result. I can see this model of care being followed by all other care companies in the future. It really is how care should be and how Carer’s should be treated!!! I’m so proud to be a part of such an innovative and inclusive social enterprise. I really look forward to watching it grow and being a part of making that happen.”

“I wanted to thank you and your fabulous team for the kind and expert care that you are providing for my Mum. Nothing is too much trouble, from gentle and professional personal care, to having a laugh, supporting my Dad with tricky jobs or just giving him a break. Having consistent carers who know us and who we can get to know is a real bonus and your back office and management team are always friendly and responsive. I was expecting this stage in our family life to be fraught and stressful, but it has been a much more positive experience than I could have hoped for– thank you!”

“I consider the GCC to be a most excellent organisation which treats their Carers in a proper manner which means the Carers are happy in their work and  this is evidenced by how they treat their clients - with kindness, compassion & dedication.”

“GCC were carers for us for 16 months. I liked how the team worked so if a regular carer was away, you’d already have met the team member who provided cover that day. The carers are very well trained, confident to use initiative and make suggestions.”
