"I have sourced PA's on several occasions and have always found them to be professional, respectful and great value for money. They have a flexible approach and are adaptable to changing client needs. I would recommend this service provider to any of my clients who need a more tailored support then traditional providers are able to offer in todays market."

"We are a couple, both in our seventies. Our daughter was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the young age of 38. She is married and at the time, her daughter was just five years old. She has reached the stage when she needs help with things that, due to our age, we are no longer able to provide. We were lucky, beyond our hopes, to find the amazing support of Calibre Quality Care for our daughter, which in turn makes life so much better for all of the family."

"I cannot recommend Calibre highly enough. From my very first enquiry, they were professional, understanding and incredibly efficient. They listened carefully to what my dad needed and found a suitable PA much more quickly than I expected. My dad can be quite a difficult person to win over, however, he absolutely loves Leanne and genuinely looks forward to her visits. My dad's home is noticeably cleaner and tidier, allowing me to spend more quality time with him instead of catching up on household jobs. Thank you to Leanne and everyone at Calibre for providing such a caring, reliable and professional service."

"Nothing but positive reviews for Calibre Quality Care. I approached them to provide some social support for my mum. We were introduced to Suzanne who is absolutely lovely, helpful, trustworthy and reliable. Suzanne has some similar interests to mum and they enjoy outings together. This gives me peace of mind that mum is having some social interaction whilst I am at work. I have no hesitation in recommending the company and Suzanne."

"Sarah is a wonderful carer to my elderly mum who, with Sarah's support, still lives in her own home at nearly 90. From the moment we met Sarah there was instant rapport. My mum is treated with dignity and respect at all times and communication with myself and my two siblings is great too. I feel very lucky (every day in fact) that we met her."

"Calibre is an excellent company. It's obvious how much care they take in recruiting the right people. They make direct payments so simple, with weekly invoices and care notes. My PA Sam is beyond excellent. She motivates, problem solves, organises and supports me so much. Sam brightens up my day and always brings the fun!"
