Review from Margaret B (Client) published on 3 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have used this service since May 2018. Because of my condition and treatment, my needs have fluctuated over the months and the agency staff have always been very adaptable.
All the carers have been pleasant, willing, cheerful and helpful when visiting.
The office staff I have dealt with have also
been helpful and courteous.
As I expect my needs to increase with the passage of time, I have complete confidence in the ability of all agency staff to take care of me compassionately.

Ascot Care is very reliable and if my regular carer is not available, they always provide a substitute. All the staff are friendly and efficient. I would be happier with greater consistency.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having used Ascot Care for a number of years I simply cannot fault them. Their commitment and dedication to my nephew and us as a family has, at times, been well and above the call of duty. We as a family have been through some very difficult and frustrating times and Ascot Care have always been there
for us. The staff are pleasant, friendly, approachable, always have time to listen and have just been our lifeline over the years. They provide an excellent, high standard and professional service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ascot Care to anyone who needs this service and cannot thank them enough for their past and continued help to us.

Ascot Care looked after my dad for four and a half years until his death in December 2017. We have always been extremely happy with the care he has received. Everybody in Ascot Care has always been kind, helpful, caring and professional. We have built up a good relationship with them over the years.
We would recommend them without hesitation.

Googled Care Companies based in Horsham and struck lucky with Ascot Care. My husband was discharged from hospital after seven weeks as a patient. Three weeks with Ascot Care has made a huge difference to my husband's recovery. The Carers are punctual, friendly, kind and helpful and adjust to clients
needs. Management keep a close eye on standard of carers and can be easily contacted by phone or email.

Ascot Care Ltd consistently send friendly, professional carers who even go beyond the call of duty on occasion. I usually use them to fill in for my disabled daughter's Pa's (direct payments) when on holiday/sick leave and they support her at her day centre. My daughter loves the carers Ascot Care Ltd
send and they all seem to be natural at relating to persons with learning disabilities too. I highly recommend Ascot Care Ltd.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum is able to stay in her own home because of the care supplied by Ascot Care Ltd. She sees/has seen several different staff who are always pleasant, patient, cheerful and helpful. They are good timekeepers but will not leave a client in distress. A particularly valuable quality is initiative. The
staff are very good at noticing what needs doing and also extra ways in which the client could benefit. A valuable extra service involves taking clients to appointments, staying with them and keeping track of appointments.

Ascot care provides a carer/companion for my dementia-suffering wife for 6 hours per week. The initial assessment process was thorough and professional and the carer provided is well matched to my wife's requirements and is well trained.
The management of the agency is approachable and appears to be
both effective and efficient.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.773)

Overview of Review Score

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.773 for Ascot Care is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.773
  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 Ascot Care is based on 11 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  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.
