I have been wheelchair-bound for 15 years now. My carer has got me out of the wheelchair and walking again, with help. This must be a miracle!

I have found the service of carers very good. There are some who do more than others (clearing up after lunch etc) but care work I can't fault. They are all very pleasant and arrive on time.

Review from Elaine (Daughter of Client) published on 28 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Civicare looked after my parents for a period of 6 months before they moved to residential care. They were visited once a day during the week if we were at home but if we went away they came twice a day every day. They helped my mother wash and dress but also assisted my father when necessary. If we
were away they did basic shopping and cooking.
All these tasks were carried out with humour and good grace-carers took their time with my parents and got to know them well. Whilst there were a number of carers owing to scheduling constraints most of the time my parents had one or two key carers which they appreciated and everyone was kind, patient and considerate of the family as well as my parents.
I was very pleased with the level of service we had from Civicare - there were a couple of occasions when they needed medical care and Civicare staff contacted district nurses or waited until paramedic staff arrived. I felt that carers were knowledgable and had my parents best interest at heart.

Review from P F (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 21 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Never had a problem with the staff, some are a little more attentive than others.
I don't think the staff have enough time to get from one call to the next, making them 5-10 minutes late most visits.
When dealing with dementia clients I think the same 2-3 carers should be sent to keep the consistency
needed.

After reading the above comments, the Registered Manager contacted PF to discuss the matter and are now looking at ways to improve the service with the allocating team and will review the situation in 3 months.

Civicare helps my husband Mon-Fri each morning to wash and dress etc. Their carers are well trained and very pleasant. They are an excellent company to communicate with and we have recommended them to friends, who are equally pleased.

All the members of staff who attend to my father are thoughtful, considerate, polite and punctual. If ever there is a problem or concern, someone from Civicare (Central) Ltd always phones me. It is very reassuring to have such wonderful people who deal with my father's needs.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.889) out of 10 for Civicare (Central) Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.889 for Civicare (Central) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.889
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Civicare (Central) Ltd is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
