b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Home Care Agency / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Home Care Agency receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 5 for 1 to 1 Care is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 5
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this care provider to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3.00 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3.00, 2nd = 0.50, 3rd = 0.50, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.10, 7th = 0.10, 8th = 0.10, 9th = 0.10, 10th = 0.10) ie an Home Care Agency needs 10 Reviews to receive the maximum score of 5 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 months. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.

Review submitted on 19 March 2018 from a Website Submission by Graham H (Son of Client). on Monday 19 March 2018 . Relates to December 2017.
The service provided to my 92-year-old mother was professional, caring and very efficient. All requests were dealt with quickly and there was always a contact available when required. The carers were friendly and my mother looked upon them as friends. If there was a need to obtain essential food items the cares would attend to this which was a great help as I and my sister live some distance away from mother's house. We were extremely pleased and satisfied with the overall service provided.

From my initial phone call to the agency to gather information to the present day, I have and my mother the highest quality of help and advice from the agency management, clerical staff and most of all the carers. They have been able to meet all of my mothers needs and act quickly when her care needs change suddenly.
All carers are respectful of my mother, my family and my home. They keep good time and let me know if they are help up. They are cheerful, patient and very gentle in the care of my mother.
