Cera; LABS Hawley Lock, 1 Water Lane, NW1 8NZ, London, GB
After a very promising start and much professional reassurance the promised call to my mother to actually speak to and assess her failed to happen. Twice. These calls were scheduled as appointments and my mother was coached and prepared to answer and ask questions; this two time no-show was greatly distressing and unspeakably frustrating having had to spend a great deal of time getting the elder in question to even agree to the concept of live in care. Having agreed, she was badly let down. Obvs, if they can't make a phone call to a prospective client, they are hardly recommending themselves as carers. WHAT WENT WRONG?
I spoke to a lovely person who listened to what I needed. Then we agreed what support I was going to have for my personal hygiene and dressing needs. I am telling my friends about you. Very good.
My cousin is in a wheelchair and is usually treated differently by his care workers, but Cera and their team are the first company to understand he is not just his disability. Very pleased with their live in care for him.
Cera took great care of my mum. They went above and beyond what I expected.
My dad has built a special relationship with his care worker, she is very well treated by the company, which is rare in the industry. This reflects in the work she provides, as she is always very energetic and happy to work with dad.
Cera organized my dad's post-discharge care very quickly. I was worried about not being able to find a decent care provider, which would mean a prolonged stay at the hospital for him. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided.
Cera took care of my dad while I went on holiday. It was the first time I’ve used them, so I was worried about leaving my dad in their care. But their customer service was great and they were happy to update me whenever I called. The carers they provided took great care of my dad.
The staff are very friendly and work hard. Their work goes beyond the hours in which the carers look after my Mom. When she got ill, they were able to arrange medicine to be delivered quickly and the client team kept up constant communication to make sure she was okay. Living abroad it is very helpful to be able to trust the company that is providing her care.
My grandfather needed some extra help after my grandmother passed away. Cera has been a great help ever since. The carers respect that he is still independent, mobile, and wants to live a meaningful life in his own home, but that he does need help with certain things. It is great for me living in Portsmouth that I can check in and see what he and his carers are up to online. Excellent service.
Cera was referred to us through my father's council when he finally let us look for a carer for him. He was very nervous and anxious about the idea. Luckily he really gets along with his carer and its amazing to know someone is there to keep him company!
Cera was great in sorting out my grandmother's care. I was only in the UK for a few days and they came and met the both of us right away. Living so far away, I feel at ease knowing I can trust Cera and their carers. Plus I can always check online to see how things are going which is extremely helpful.
I know the first hand challenge of looking for a good carer, and through Cera I was able to put my mind at ease. The staff that I had spoken to was very knowledgeable and affable. They have helped me out a lot with my situation and I can only say 'Thank you!' It's much more than just paying for a service, they truly empathise with your situation and do the best that they can to help.
I needed to sort out care for my aunt very quickly when she unexpectedly needed surgery and Cera saw her right away in hospital. They not only helped her recover but she even stays in touch with her carer after no longer needing care! A great company that I’m sure we will use again in the future
“ My mum did not want to go into a care home, her care needs kept growing, but we could not take care of her full time. Initially I was reluctant to have a live-in carer for her, as I thought it would be difficult to monitor the carer’s work or the way she interacts with my mum. But Cera gave me access to their care reports, which were very easy to use and contained detailed information. They also allowed us to meet the carer before we agreed to use their service. I have recommended the service to many of my friends, as both the carers and the office team are very reliable. "
Truly recommend the service. I’m very happy with my care worker and the client team is always very kind and helpful.
Initial experience was disappointing. Seemed to be lack of coordination between staff manning the phones and those who take on the handover when shifts change. Sometimes the team mis understood the nature of my requests. the situation is much improved now and the followup with clients is good
Cera found two perfect carers for my Mum, and we are most pleased.
Cera's service was excellent from start to finish. Very professional service and care and website is very easy to use.
Extremely good and competent round the clock care provided for my 97 year old mother in law in her own home while we were on holiday. We have every confidence in Cera and will use them again. Extremely good value too.
Cera have been very attentive and helpful in getting the right companion for my mum. Very professional and dependable in all dealings. The website is user friendly and detailed.
