I Would definitely recommend them, they go out of their way to help, even though they have other clients to go and see, and in an emergency they have always tried to get to my mum to help out, Mum stayed in her own home much longer than we ever thought possible thats thanks to THC. ( added 13/3/26 ) Mum (Pat) received such good care from all the carers that went in to her home and looked after her, she even had to have a live in carer from THC before she had to go into a home. It is such a brilliant idea to try and let the person stay in their own home as long as possible. Thank you to Rodgers who made all this possible. Unfortunately mum has now passed away Rodgers even called to give his condolences. I wouldn’t hesitate to have these wonderful carers nothing is too much trouble. 🩷

My Mum received care from Thirdhand Care for many years, starting with help in the morning and evening. It increased over the years until live in care was needed and Mum was looked after by wonderful carers until she passed. We would recommend Thirdhand without hesitation.
