"I have found Radfield Home Care excellent in communicating all aspects of the care of my dad. More importantly, my dad is very happy with the care he is being given. He says nothing is too much trouble for them and cannot praise his carers enough. I am very relieved as he was very unhappy with the previous care he received. It is amazing how well he now looks now he is happy and comfortable with his carers." - son of Radfield Home Care Newcastle upon Tyne client
