Carol
Home & Domiciliary Care
My mother of 92 has Alzheimer’s so I wanted some time to spend with friends and family so I got walfinch in to help. They have been great very caring nothing is to much trouble for them and my mother is very happy.
Jane and Rose take her out for coffee and cake they also can deal with her medication and look after her overnight if needed.
I would highly recommend them.

Chris Duncalf
Home & Domiciliary Care
I have had a first class experience from Walfinch Home Care Guildford and Woking.
From my initial telephone contact with Jane White, her assessments for the home environment and separate individual assessment (at a local hospital) she was very thoughtful in assessing our caring needs.
These assessments were subsequently backed up with Jane doing the initial caring at home herself to ensure she had the correct grasp of the caring requirements.
The lady that has subsequently been providing care always arrives on time, is very thoughtful and efficiently provides care with compassion.
Jane has subsequently provided excellent feedback from observations made with the care provided.
In summary, I am delighted with Walfinch Home Care Guildford and Woking - the communication and care services from Jane and team are exemplary.

Reply from Walfinch Home Care Guildford and Woking
Thank you for this lovely review, Chris. We look forward to being of continued service to you and your family.
What do you love most about your job?
The absolute privilege of helping vulnerable people to thrive in their own homes. Identifying where limitations have been put into place and providing the support to remove those limitations.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always been a business owner and the home care space is an extremely rewarding one. My own grandparents and parents have received care at home. We also have a very high incidence of dementia which has become a special interest of mine.

Multiple Sclerosis Care
Multiple sclerosis is a condition that affects individuals in many different ways. These can include fatigue, bladder and bowel problems, pain, cognitive and mood changes including depression, muscular changes and visual changes. As a result of these numerous symptoms, it might be time to consider offering your loved one the best multiple sclerosis care.
When you opt for multiple sclerosis care assistance at home, you are truly ensuring that your loved one is in the best hands. Not only will they continue living in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own homes, but they will also be extremely well taken care of with all their needs taken into account.
Although you may think of home care in the UK as something that’s only for elderly citizens who would like to age with dignity, we also offer considerate and attentive multiple sclerosis care so that your loved one’s condition is managed in the best possible way. Our carers are well trained and experienced and they’ll be matched to your loved one’s needs and wants. This will ensure that they get the best possible service and care that they require and will help them manage their condition better.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Dealing and recovering from a stroke can be an emotional, stressful and difficult time both for the patient and for their loved ones. When returning to their homes, some patients may not be able to cope with the added challenges that come with the recovery process. And after stroke care at home may be the perfect solution. Elderly home care that sees carers deal with and help stroke patients on their journey to recovery can be one of the most peaceful ways for everyone involved to see the process through.
Stroke patient care at home is possibly the ideal solution for this medical issue because it ensures the comfort, serenity and peace of mind of the stroke patient who can recover in their own home. This is because this type of care addresses multiple needs of the patient – from toileting and dressing, bathing and eating, taking medication, shopping and doctors’ visits and so much more. As a result, after stroke care at home could be considered the perfect way of helping a stroke patient recover in a much more comfortable environment that ensures all their needs are taken care of by trained and qualified professionals.
Parkinson's Care
Parkinson’s disease is known as a brain disorder. As a result of this, it can cause unintended or uncontrollable movements such as shaking, stiffness and difficulty with balance and coordination. It is a degenerative disease which means that the symptoms tend to worsen over time and it usually affects people who are aged 50 and older although it can also affect people younger than this. If your loved one has Parkinson’s disease, you may feel anxious and worried about what the best way of taking care of them is. Luckily, we offer specialised Parkinson care as part of our elderly home care range of services.
One of the main things to keep in mind when a patient has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease is that they need to be as comfortable and supported as possible. The chances of this are low in a nursing or residential home whereas if care is provided in the patient’s own home, chances are greater that they’ll feel more secure, have a higher quality of life and will get round-the-clock assistance as part of our Parkinson disease treatment and care offering. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for specialist Parkinson care.
Dementia & Alzheimers Care
Considering the differences in the types of dementia, you will need a qualified carer for your loved one to provide dementia care at home. Not only is this possibly one of the best ways of dealing with such a deteriorating illness, it also gives your loved ones more peace and stability as a result of being in familiar surroundings and not being taken out of their comfort zone when this could cause them more stress and discomfort. We understand the stresses and pressure that dealing with a dementia patient can cause and are ready to assist in every way possible.
Our elderly home care, which includes Alzheimer care services that address the patient’s difficulties in functioning optimally and independently, is perfectly tailored to your loved one’s needs. We have home carers who have specialist dementia care training to provide these sensitive services and as a result, your loved one will always be in good hands. As more and more people increasingly look for ways to give their elder family members more comfort in terms of lifestyle, dementia care at home is the right answer for you.
Respite Care
Looking after an elderly person can come with its challenges. In some cases, they need extra care and attention not only to ensure that they live a balanced life but also to ensure that they face no harm from slips, falls and associated ills. We understand that when you are taking care of your loved one, the responsibility of your efforts can take their toll on you. They can take a significant portion of your time and also lead to exhaustion and draining your energy levels so that you can continue providing the right type of support needed. This is why we at Walfinch offer elderly respite care in the UK to help relieve you in times of need.
In home respite care takes place in the comfort of the person’s own home. This already improves their levels of comfort due to the familiar environment that they are in. But we can also help with aspects such as dementia respite care as our trained and professional carers are well prepared for any scenario and are able to provide thorough and diligent elderly respite care in the UK.
Cerebral Palsy Care
Cerebral palsy care requires a thoughtful and delicate approach for your loved one in order to provide them with the most comfort and care possible. Such individuals have a wide variety of needs ranging from physical, emotional, psychological and more. Extra delicate care must be exercised when attending to them and this may mean helping them with bathing, dressing, movement, eating, taking medication and more. This is why cerebral palsy home care is possibly one of the best options you have in order to provide the most home care support.
In-home cerebral palsy care is considerate of each patient’s individual needs and ensures that their comfort levels are always optimal. If physical assistance is needed, home carers that are specially trained will provide a service of a high quality standard. The same is true for cases where other forms of care and support are required. All you need to do is get in touch with us to talk about your loved one’s unique needs. We are sensitive to all requirements and have trained staff ready and on-hand to offer you the support you need.
Quick Start Care
Life happens to all of us. Emergencies crop up and they need to be dealt with. But when you’re dealing with an elderly parent or loved one, it means that your attention and care efforts may not be as thorough as you want them to as you deal with other issues in your life. With our urgent home care service, you can finally relax. We’re a home care service provider and our urgent care services mean you can reach out to us at short notice and tell us all about your loved one’s needs and requirements to ensure that their well-being is taken care of optimally.
Urgent care in the UK is not a common service but it is a much needed service nonetheless. It requires a quick response time and the adaptability to your loved one’s circumstances by the carer to ensure they continue receiving the full levels of support they need. When you need quick care, you can always rely on us to help you out in your time of need. Choose Walfinch for your urgent home care needs today!
Night Time Care
Every senior citizen has different requirements for comfortable living and each case is absolutely unique. Some may deal with illnesses or injuries while others may be dealing with a postoperative condition. Yet others are those who may just need a helping hand to ensure their lives run as smoothly as possible. With Walfinch’s night-time care for the elderly service, we completely understand that your loved one’s needs at night time are just as pressing as those during the day. Whatever these needs may be, our night home care is provided by a competent and able night care worker who specifically works during the night to ensure your loved one is in good hands and that accidents are avoided and prevented for greater peace of mind.
With our night-time care for the elderly service, you can rely on trusted professionals who are all background checked and vetted, who work with integrity and who ensure that your elderly loved one is secure and comfortable in their own home. Yes, accidents may happen but ensuring someone is there at these crucial times to help prevent them means greater security for all involved while resting assured in the knowledge that your loved one is in capable hands.
Live In Care
At Walfinch, we completely understand that a loved one who may need extra care, such as post-operative care or another type of care, requires support that you sometimes cannot provide yourself. It is only natural that you’re unable to meet all your loved one’s needs all the time. And this is why you can rely on our attentive and caring live in care services. The personal assistants we assign to your loved one will ensure that they get the best form of care while you take some time out to recuperate. This service is intended to last for a lengthier period of time and it means that this creates the perfect opportunity for strong bonds and relationships to be built between your loved one and their carer.
Our live in care services are thorough and comprehensive and you can take advantage of a multitude of ways in which our carers can help. These include aspects ranging from toileting and bathing to grooming and dressing, administration of medication, meal preparation, household chores, taking your loved one to medical appointments, offering companionship and so much more.
End of Life Care
We will all approach the end of our lives at one point or another but seeing someone we love and care go through this period can be heartbreaking and challenging. You need to be fully supported when your loved one enters this period in their life and this is why we provide end of life care in the UK. Carried out in a professional, caring, attentive way that secures the dignity of your loved one, our services ensure that all care provided is done to the highest possible standards of quality to ensure that your loved one is as comfortable as possible.
End of life care at home is possibly the best way to achieve levels of comfort that no other place can offer – neither a hospital nor a nursing home. As a result, our home care services for patients nearing the end of their lives are completely tailored to meet their needs. Perhaps more importantly, you’ll be assured that they’re in good hands even if you can’t be there for them 24/7.
