Reviews from our clients
My elderly aunt used Country Cousins for about 3 months having been in hospital before. She had 2 different carers both were lovely and my aunt got on well with them. It was quite obvious that they enjoyed their work.
The carers are fantastic. They became part of the family and it is so lovely to have them return... Our carer manager is always there to listen to any concerns and provide a seamless care provision.
We have worked with Country Cousins for two years in their providing care for an elderly relative. The staff are prompt, caring, courteous, efficient - and pleasant when communicating.
So many great things to say about Country Cousins. Professional and friendly service, Kelly was fantastic to work with, always met our requirements. The carers are fantastic people and soon become close friends.
Unfailingly helpful, considerate, and effective; Sylvie has made my task as light as possible. Her ready grasp of my aunt's requirements and character have resulted in two excellent carers now in post back-to-back.
As my sister became too ill to look after herself, Country Cousins organized round-the-clock home care for her... The carers treated my sister with great humanity and did their best to ensure her safety and make her comfortable. I do not think anyone could have done more and I am grateful to them all.

"I was very pleased with the service of Country Cousins. My Carers looked after me well and also cheered me up. My second Carer Zandile was warm and very encouraging. She got me going again after me hip replacement surgery."
