Care Testimonials

Advanced Care Yorkshire provide for me Care in the community, care in my home, the company spent time listening to my care needs and watching the techniques that are needed. A company who provide staff they believe will be suitable for my care as in my case ‘physically disabled’, A company whose PA’s have been given time to be trained with me and my requirements and who at each stage ask me how each PA is getting on and whether or not I am satisfied with their ability and approach and fitting in with my household and with my own team of Carer’s and Nurses etc, A company who knows the importance of my well being, trust, punctuality, expectancy of privacy, confident and with pleasant dispositions. I found this company in March of last year; they trained with me to be accomplished with my specific needs and built up trust with their handling of me with hoists, slings and support braces. I am very happy with their team of three Carer’s that joined my existing Carers and Nurses to form my overall care package.

SH – Student

Thank you for all your help and for putting on a course that has enabled me to find work and for giving us a chance to prove we could do it.

NH – Student

I completed a course with Advanced, called Gateway to Health and Social Care, I found the course to be very informative and thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience, The Course was presented by Sheena Kurring, she was easy to understand and very patient with the class when we had lots of questions. I have now started work in domiciliary care and would be totally lost without the skills gained by completing this course. I have now started my diploma. Overall I am happy with my experience with this company and the staff are great.

SD – Student

I went to my class last Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed being lifted from my seat by one of my colleagues with a hoist. I also wanted to say thanks again for putting the course on, it was really good to learn everything I have and it has also helped to pick up my confidence. Everyone was really friendly and I’ve really enjoyed having the opportunity to attend this course. If you ever need a student to vouch for it being a worthwhile course, I’m happy to show my support.

SG – Student

I really appreciated your help with my job search on completion of your course, I am at present utilising my skills in the USA and Canada and have a job lined up for my return to England in Brighton, The Gateway course was a great opportunity, it allowed me to gain new skills and understanding in how to become a good caregiver which has made me feel more prepared for gaining employment. The teachers and students were all really friendly and made the classroom feel like a place we could really enjoy being in. Taking the course really boosted my confidence, my motivation and my abilities in caregiving and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

SG – Student

Thank you for all your help and guidance, made redundant and from a contracting engineering background, myself belief was at an all time low, with no prior knowledge of the Care Sector and having been outside of formal education for some considerable time, I was naturally anxious how I would perform on the course. I need not have worried. My Tutor showed she had an in depth knowledge and real passion for the subject and soon put everyone in the class at ease. The quality and pace of the tuition provided and the mix of students along with the venue all proved to be first rate, the course was a real boost to my confidence and I cannot wait to get back into work and put my new set of skills into practise. Please keep me informed of any future courses as I now wish to take my training to the next level.

PD – Student

I had a feeling about the course the minute I went for my initial interview. I was met by friendly happy people who went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. They set me up for an intense but very enjoyable five weeks, I mentioned the course was intense but this I am sure sifted out those who were perhaps not suited to this type of work and commitment. We learned a great deal about the care profession, the course covered a huge range of topics too many to mention but all had their importance when I was offered a position in a local care home and I realised how much I’d learned, I felt I was well prepared which proved to be a firm grounding for the job I was doing, this gave me more confidence to carry on, Caring is a hard and not very well paid profession but is rewarding and gives you so much in return. When you realise you have made life more comfortable and enjoyable for a Service User and they respond so gratefully, it is wonderful. I have been reduced near to tears and laughed my head off both in the same hour, What a job, all you lovely people at Advanced, Thank you, you changed my life and made me a better person for the experience.
