Q10 We always want to improve.  If any, what areas would you suggest?

  • When the accounts team send through reimbursements, I wish they would send through an email notification as well.
  • None comes to mind
  • I am quite happy with the service I am receiving
  • Sorry – no suggestions, I don’t have any improvements to offer
  • Look for companies that offer services like cleaning and gardening
  • Our only issues came when the two caregivers did not agree with each other
  • Very happy – no suggestions
  • When the regular caregiver is away (holidays or sick) it would be really reassuring to have a caregiver already known to mum
  • I have mentioned two who came in the evening, but I cannot recall their names.
  • I can’t think of any at the moment, but if I do I will let you know.
  • We are very happy with what we receive.
  • Overall, we are satisfied
  • One day perhaps a light survey for carers to find mutual interests. I have wide interests, welfare of humans, trees, garden, cooking, reading everything. talking
  • Keep up the good work!
  • We are so satisfied – no suggestions. Margaret says “She didn’t imagine she would be so comfortable with the service”.
  • Can’t think of any
  • Write name tags with carers names. Mums eye sight is poor. She has up to 6 carers so clearly seeing who is in her unit for a service.
  • I have been very happy with the care
  • It’s difficult, sometimes Ivy would talk carers into only eating 1/2 her lunch etc. I found this frustrating as nutrition was important given she was so active. But I understand.
  • More bilingual carers
  • None that I could see. Possibly a quicker implementation of the service? I have used Daughterly Care twice and had to wait about a week until service began. If it could be a quicker process that would help me, yet I understand logistics of organising a service
  • Accounts department – probably fixed with recent appointment
  • Very happy with the service we receive
  • As a private customer: I found it a bit confusing understanding CHSP vs packages, perhaps giving solutions and thought to CHSP would have been helpful. We have ended up continuing with DC through CCNB but it took 2 years for me to realise we could do this.
  • If possible, community day outings. I would be happy to volunteer assistance
  • Not to my knowledge
  • Areas I would suggest that it would be better if one could have carers for longer periods of time, if they have proved to be successful.
  • I have been satisfied for the care I have been given
  • We find both “girls” great in their fields
  • Explain what exceptional means
  • I am happy thank you
  • None at this stage.
  • To pass on progress notes more quickly. To make clear to client and care-giver what is expected in the way of cleaning. To encourage care givers to do things outside of the usual routine. ie. go to a gallery?
  • If progress notes could be forwarded sooner after the visit date, that would be helpful.
  • I have not perceived any areas calling for improvement
  • None in the area in which we know about
  • Not sure how to, but greater quality control to ensure each and every carer does follow protocols and perform specific in-home tasks requested by clients (such as inspecting and managing bathroom conditions and refrigerator past-due contents).
  • I can’t think of anything
  • Overnight fees are excessively expensive.
  • To date I have found they meet my requirements in every respect
  • More than happy
  • None come to mind
  • My only concern is that there seems to be some inconsistency in the care provided by the 2 carers who look after my mother. I don’t see this as an issue that requires fixing, more a result of the different personalities of the 2 carers.
  • There has been some inconsistency in the provision of accounts advice and the timing of payments (from us to you) in relation to direct debits. More consistency with the dates for direct debits would help us with our cashflows.
  • After Virus issues resolved: more community activities for dementia clients. Music, outings., communal activities.
  • Possibly recommended list of service providers for loved ones to use for Third Party helpers.
  • None
  • I would prefer not to have so many different carers
  • Hard to say – keep up the continuous improvement attitude and action
  • A variety of tunes on the call waiting.
  • Carers will not accept any “gifts” when offered to show my gratitude.
  • Better accounts procedures hopefully in the future. We are the ones constantly chasing statements & progress notes.
  • I am very happy with your regular appointees, but did have some reservations with some of those provided for evening positions, which we no longer require.
  • Great assistance no obvious need to improve
  • Nothing at this point in time.
  • Preparation of good meals. spending more time entertaining dad and not putting him in a chair to watch TV all day.
  • Can’t think of one
  • Give more positive approach to outside claims rather than cow towing to the department. In other words, work for the client
  • Can’t think of anything you need to improve. Just keep doing what you do so well.
  • None
  • I can’t answer as I am not based with my Mother whom you provide care for. From what I am told and seen (I have met) the service you provide meets expectations.
  • We are very happy with the overall service so have no suggestions at this stage.
  • Ideally, it would be good if there were less faces visiting my mother. She has 8 different faces each week at the moment. However, I do feel sure you are doing the best you can with this, and lately the mix has been pretty stable which helps. We have gotten used to it!
  • None. The service is fantastic.
  • All OK
  • Information on financial status
  • I really can’t think of anything.
  • I am satisfied with present arrangements.
  • Having the ability to track our account in real time so we know how much of our package is underspent/overspent. Being able to contact our carer quickly (via text) if necessary (while we can go through the office it’s not as fast as direct contact). Knowing more about how and on what the Aged Care package can be spent.
  • Can’t think of any at present.
  • All good
  • Accounts
  • More knowledge of local walking areas
  • Nothing to add
  • Nothing comes to mind
  • The billing was an issue but you may have sorted that now with your new appointment We try to stay on top of things always and when the billing was delayed we get stressed and worry there won’t be enough money in the account etc. anyway be diligent w billing and we will all be win win win
  • Carers following instructions and keeping to all shift times.
  • Weekly reports/progress notes were very patchy and not always well done.
  • Use your accumulated experience to speak up for your clients changing needs with the Government regulators.
  • Better match of carer with client
  • Can’t think of any.
  • No suggestions
  • Nothing comes to mind
  • I felt initially I needed more information and follow up as I was totally ignorant to the processes. I have no complaints presently.

Q12. I plan to keep using Daughterly Care Community Services in the foreseeable future?

89.37% of Daughterly Care Community Services clients Strongly Agree or Agree that they plan to keep using our service in the foreseeable future.

Q13 If you answered Improvements Needed; Unsatisfactory; Disagree or Strongly Disagree please provide your reasons.

  • They appeared indifferent and did not perform to my satisfaction
  • On the contrary, I look forward each week to my service.
  • At the start of covid 19 DC’s policies weren’t communicated. This was addressed however in time and then signage and procedures were clear.
  • Going to nursing home so no longer required
  • We often have carers who weren’t able to stay longer. It could be very good if carers stay longer.
  • I can’t say that all Dads carers are providing exceptional service, but certainly most do. He has had some issues with some of his carers. You have been good at changing carers when requested.
  • The quality of carers has been good. I have canvassed similar organisations and find they provide more flexible programs for dementia clients rather than just ‘babysitting services’. Even Mosman council not for profit activities provide more social opportunities. The DC website is not helpful in planning transition strategies for managed care requirements.
  • I do not always remember to whom I have told what.
  • Admin/Accounting procedures require improvement. Hopefully this will happen now you have new Finance Manager.
  • I no longer have evening appointees and therefore cannot comment on your present evening appointees
  • I can’t answer as I am not based with my Mother whom you provide care for. From what I am told and seen (I have met) the service you provide meets expectations.
  • The accounts team in the past have been inept, but I understand things have changed for the better
  • Uneven care quality
