I am very pleased with my carers now, you could not wish for any one better. They are so helpful and kind, they look after you and they are always there for you. I recommend them to any one. They are good workers and honest.

Fantastic care. Very understanding staff. Help both with mental health and physical health problems. Staff respect my dignity, too, which is a big thing for me. From helping remind me to wash, to helping with household tasks

I am very happy with the punctuality of regular carers. People that are walkers are generally late and new and it's very annoying. Tasks are undertaken well, however a couple of issues need to be addressed and I'm confident they will get done, a big shout out to 4 staff members in particular.

Since Meritum have been caring for my mother, who is unable to walk and has advanced dementia, I have had no worries. They are so professional and always arrive on time, do everything we ask them to do and are friendly staff. My mum loves them. To get the best from them, good communication is important,
and we have a good relationship with any issues or needs brought up straight away. I absolutely can't recommend them enough.

The carers are excellent, nothing is too much trouble. They are kind, friendly and fun. They respect my husband and always ask him what he wants and how. They are respectful of other members of the family and at home. Times are sometimes out of sync. They can be either very early or late, not the fault
of carers but their workload, the office insisting they book clients in at certain times. This has caused distress to my husband on a number of occasions and to the routine of our household. Please keep to times.

Carers come in to care for my husband. Always willing to help and assist him for whatever he wants. One point I add they always ask if I'm ok - thoughtful and welcome. Always check more than once my husband is ok and safe. Each carer that comes in is always understanding.

Although I have indicated that this review is related to June 2024, it also covers the several years I have been with Meritum. Since first being taken care of by Meritum I have enjoyed their service and professional care. Every one of the carers that attend to me have become friends as they are all
completely relaxed and cheerful and comfortable around me and this has become so natural that I consider them good neighbours who check in on me every day. They always make sure I am in the best of health and always ask what else they can do for me.
Earlier this year my regular carer saved my life as I had a seizure and collapsed. He arrived at my residence, saw what had happened, phoned emergency services and gave me resuscitation. Looking back on this occasion I realised that this was a normal, though not every day, procedure. Such is the professionalism of Meritum carers.

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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.772 for Meritum Integrated Care LLP (Folkestone) is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.772

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Meritum Integrated Care LLP (Folkestone) is based on 10 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
