    The CareAbout team was thorough and very helpful with matching my dad with the right care provider. They asked a number of questions in relation to my dad and what care he would require moving forward. Would recommend CareAbout if you're looking into a care provider or wanting to change care providers.

    Swapping provider

    Jake was the consultant that initially connected with me after my online query. I found him to be empathetic with his questions, listened to our situation, provided sound advice and suggested a provider that could help us. He connected us to said provider, who too was very helpful. We have since made the decision to swap providers to the company that Jake connected us with. Thanks Jake!

    Great service and quick responses

    I responded online to a questionnaire - and Care About rang me back within an hour on a Sunday. They went through our needs and special requirements and "promised" a call back from a Provider at 3.30 the next day. that all happened and we are blessed with Dulcie Home Care. We had been dealing with Trilogy Care for 12 months and there was nothing but lies and rip off's.

    Michelle was amazing

    Michelle was amazing. I had initially sent an email to inquire about my Mum's care. They took the initiative and rang me. Michelle answered all my questions, addressed all my concerns and organised an at home visit with a provider. I had been incredibly overwhelmed with all the information, but Michelle really helped to navigate me through the process. She was excellent.
