Poppy's Homecare Ltd - Weston-super-Mare

Sadly, the manager of this company hasn't changed his spots from past reviews! He takes things very personally if you make suggestions or try & have any influence regarding your relatives care. Additionally he can prevent your relative from returning home from hospital whilst bartering with & demanding more money from Social Care. When challenged or angered the Care package is then pulled, with some half hearted excuse & apology, leaving you high & dry. A month is rarely enough time to try & find another care provider, meaning there is then further upheaval having to put your relative in to a Respite home to await one!
The girls who do the care are great & there is very little criticism directed at them. Naturally over the years there has been a few relatively minor issues. Some of the girls we, & particularly our Mum, we give huge thanks to & will really miss, & it has been quite an emotional goodbye.
I can't apologise for the poor rating as
I have been very conservative with my summary due to there being other legal matters currently pending, which can't yet be commented on.

Let first say that the carers who help me daily were great couldn't ask for anything more.

So why I am awarding it 1 star basically treated like a piece of rubbish by the manager.

After 6 weeks of home care they terminated my contract out of the blue over issues which could have been resolved easily if the issues were made aware to me

And to top it off the manager gave me 7 days notice.

7 days notice to find another home care provider or a nursing home to take me on, what a joke

Would just like to say how rubbish this company was for my nan. I have to say that the ladies that went in were lovely, however, the man that spoke on the phone with my grandad and mum was rude. He has now taken away the care and my Nan is going into a nursing home! This is appalling!
Would not recommend them to anyone.

Too expensive

Awful, only cares about money not the client.
