They look after me well and I enjoy their visits. They are always cheerful and the care is appropriate and well delivered and my husband says it's very good value for the money. Many thanks and I look forward to a full recovery when I no longer need the excellent care provided.

Having decided to use Acqua Doria Ltd following a visit by the red. I was impressed with their approach; it was what was required. I have 3 visits a week, and they are both friendly and caring in their roles. All the staff are very helpful!

First class care, every member of staff cannot do enough for you. Always cheerful. I had a trip to hospital with a member of staff, only one driver in charge of hospital transport. Member of staff sorted everything out and did great care to me.

I cannot thank Acqua Doria enough for their care for my father. It is early days in his care provision, but so far the whole team have been friendly, professional and informative and are providing excellent care. Above all for me as his daughter is the knowledge (at last) that he is being cared for
compassionately and being offered respect and friendship. Surely we all deserve that in our old age?

Mum was given excellent care, the carers were both friendly and professional. They got to know mum really well and participated in some friendly banter. As mum loved a bit of banter.
They gave the whole family peace of mind that mum was in safe hands and well cared for.
They went above the expected
levels of care and were aware of any changes in mums condition and took appropriate action. They also kept the family well informed.

The girls at Acqua Doria who have looked after me for 3 years or so are just as if my own family walk in the door. It is a pleasure to have their company, advice, help with everything. Always happily assisting me to do tasks I now find too much.
Nothing is too much trouble even changing hours or days.
Organising medications and collecting them which is proving more and more time consuming. Seeing me through a stressful move, making a fuss of me on my birthday.
At the risk of embarrassing them they have been and continue to be first class..

Acqua Doria cared for my grandad for 2 years, they also cared for him at home once he became end of life. The care and compassion given to my grandad was heart warming, the staff looked after my grandad like he was their own. Thank you so much to the whole team.

Acqua Doria has been looking after for several years now. My mum and I have found them to be very reliable, very flexible and very professional. It is always easy to get some advice and make contact with someone who knows what they are talking about.

We have been using Acqua Doria to care for my mother in her own home for the past year. The standard of care has been excellent: carers are friendly and professional and are genuinely concerned about the well-being of the client. They are prompt to inform me (client's son) of any issues and are proactive
in taking the necessary action to resolve them. The senior staff are quick to suggest ways of making Mum's life more satisfying and interesting for her. Overall we are delighted with the service provided.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My late parents both received excellent care for around 15 years between them, Acqua Doria where known to Mum as her Angels, providing excellent person-centred care at all times, very professional, showed respect and dignity, nothing was too much trouble for them, mum had Parkinson's and remained in
bed for quite a few years and dad developed dementia, all cares were well trained and always had a smile and kind word. I know if it had not been for their care mum and dad would not have been able to stay in the family home to the end of their lives, we as a family cannot thank them enough.

Review from Beverley L (Daughter of Client) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault the palliative care that the wonderful staff from Acqua Doria provided during my father's short spell at home before his death in February 2024. We had two carers four times a day and they were never less than 100% reliable, always keeping us informed as to who and when the next carers
would be. It was immensely reassuring to us to have such knowledgeable carers; they knew exactly what care and equipment Dad needed and were able to quickly and efficiently source exactly what they needed. They made sure that Dad always maintained his dignity and always kept us informed as to what was happening, leaving us to get on with making sure that Dad was able to take his leave of friends and family without us having to worry about his health care.
We were very moved by the fact that Dad's two main carers asked to come to the funeral.

Beyond excellent! It is not possible to recommend Acqua Doria highly enough. From our first point of contact with the company has given us first-class service, care and support. Every member of the team is wonderful. They put their client and the family first and make sure they are cared for with complete
dignity and respect. The company put the care into caring at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had to start having carers because of her dementia, she would often forget to take her medication. She could be quite stubborn sometimes, refusing to have a wash or get dressed but most of the carers had a way of getting around this with a bit of gentle persuasion. I was always kept informed if
mum wasn't feeling right or if she'd had a fall, she got on with all of the carers, she was quite happy to have a chat rather than get washed or dressed sometimes so the carers would just sit and have a chat with her instead.

well within requirements. Thank you everyone at the company!

Review from Neil L (Son of Client) published on 23 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Acqua Doria home carers took such good care of my father for well over two years. Every home visit was an event he could look forward to, as the care team brought him daily comfort and kindness when he had so little else to enjoy, being housebound and then bedbound. The carers provided a wide range
of services from personal care to meals to laundry to prescription medicines. Super professional, the family have nothing but praise for the care that dad received. Highly recommended.
Reply from Angela Withey, Registered Manager at Acqua Doria LtdThank you for your kind words, Neil. Your dad was a pleasure to care for, we will all miss him. Take care. From all the team at Acqua Doria.

After Dad returned home, the way the care team have treated him has been excellent. It is reassuring that the care team are looking in on him and making sure he is ok. My dad is gaining confidence as a result which has seen him venture out to the communal room and socialise more.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.826 for Acqua Doria Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.826
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Acqua Doria Ltd is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4.8
  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.
