What working parents and carers say...
We judge ourselves by the feedback we receive from you
"Backup Adult & Eldercare provides an easy, reliable way to provide support to elderly relatives, particularly at a distance, that can otherwise be very diffcult and time-consuming to arrange."
"It's been a huge support for myself and my family. I've worked for the company for 16 years and so it isn't often I'm taken aback, but this service certainly did. My mum who lives alone and 30 miles away from me had a serious stroke. It was a terrible, worrying time but she started recovering which was great until I realised how much help she needed at home. Cue the Backup Adult & Eldercare service. The team on the phone were brilliant and the agency staff who've been looking after mum have been great. Thank you isn't enough. This service enabled me to return to work much sooner and relax knowing mum had someone to come in to clean, cook, sort laundry and to keep her company. What peace of mind."

Mark booked a carer
"Backup Adult & Eldercare allows you to feel confident that your elderly parents are being attended to whilst you are working and also relieves some of the additional stress."
Kerry booked a carer
"This was a real life saver. My mother had undergone a major operation and has mild dementia. Like many families, we are spread around the country. This care provided the peace of mind that there was someone going in on a regular basis to keep on top of the basic housework, and also be company for her. It provided some respite for my father. It was comforting to know that the agency had been vetted. This is an invaluable benefit. I know many others who are in the simliar position with young families and ageing parents, who now require more support."
Julia booked a carer
"Gives you peace of mind at a stressful time. Many people now have eldercare responsibilities and this really helped after my mother's operation, especially as she is now on her own. Without this help we would have had to take some time off work - so hugely appreciated."
Jacqueline booked a carer
"Backup Adult & Eldercare has proved to be an extremely valuable benefit for my relative, the family, and myself. Whilst we all hope that we will be able to provide individual care for our relatives as they get old and become limited by sickness, the backup provided by this benefit have been invaluable. There are times when I simply cannot be there to perform these tasks and being registered with the service in advance allowed a friendly familiar face to take my place. Without this backup my Father In Law would find it much harder to remain living in his marital home after his wife died."
