Would like my care provided by carers who come on time

"Would like my care provided by carers who come on time"

About: Carewatch (Inverclyde) (Ayrshire) (Dunbartonshire) (Argyll & Bute)

(as a service user),

I’m not happy with my care at home service. I used to have a different company and they were ok but they lost their contract. I find that very few of the carers are nice, and they are not always helpful.

They don’t come when they say they will or do what I think they are meant to. It’s very frustrating. The carers are young, I don't think they don’t know what they’re doing, for example, they are supposed to make sure I take my tablets but they walk away, so I don't think they’re doing their job. If I’m not happy with a carer then I don’t want them coming back to my house.

I would like to have my care provided by carers who come on time.
