    What our clients have to say 

    Don’t just take our word for it. We’ve received countless testimonials from our clients and their families over the years:

    “From initially speaking to this company about the possibility of them supplying a carer for my elderly partner I had total confidence that all would be well due to the professional approach and the way they listened to our requirements and acted on them. The carer they provided was incredibly good – caring, professional and full of empathy – I could not recommend them highly enough.”

    “The Ashridge Companion has shown not only kindness and consideration but also considerable resilience and imagination in building a relationship with our friend and showing in what ways she can help her. Ashridge Home Care are very well networked into other support mechanisms and have been instrumental in getting our friend into a local Day Centre once a week and arranging a team of neighbours to provide transport. Highly recommended.”

    “I just wanted to say how delighted we are with Anca – she is a real delight!”

    “Rita is doing a great job in our eyes and our mother is so happy and relaxed, they have so much in common and seem to have built a lovely relationship.”

    “The carer is superb and she is exactly what we wanted. At least we know mum has someone there overnight if she needs anything.”
