Review from Florence B (Client) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband used Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services for sometime, but sadly died in June 2021. I have continued using their services as getting older and living on my own, and another reason being I broke my left shoulder/upper arm in three places two years ago and required help with washing and
dressing.
I do not remember exactly when we first used their services but I would think it must be ten years ago or maybe longer. I hope to continue having their help for the future, but at nearly 84 years old it depends on what the future holds.

I am very happy with the care I am receiving from Brunelcare. I would like to keep the bed I have been given to support my health. I was told to replace 2x beds that I bought myself to help with the assisted bed from Brunelcare. At present I do not use the bed as I am just getting over a hip replacement.

Lovely friendly staff. All regulars so my daughter knows them. A problem with water on the floor being trod over bedroom but not the caers fault. I will try to see if I could get a bigger shower trap. I bought plastic over shoes to help (which they did) until I was old they weren't allowed. Very dissapointing
& I don't know why not!

Thank you for your feedback I have asked the Team Leader to speak to you about the plastic over covers for the shoes and I apologise that this was not communicated to you at the time

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care provided to my dad by your team of carers. following his discharge, all 8 carers have been nothing short of fantastic - we truly could not have asked for more. they immediately adapted to the home routine and made Dad feel at ease
during a difficult transition. once an active, independent 90-year-old (1 month ago!) he now requires support for every aspect of life. Despite this, the carers have approached their role with cheerfulness, respect and unwavering kindness. Also, they've connected on a personal level, taking time to engage about family photos, hobbies etc. Their professionalism and compassion have made an immeasurable difference, and we are so grateful for the dignity and warmth they bring to Dad's care.

From the moment the carers started looking after my mum, I felt that I had made the right choice. They treated her with respect and dignity. Listened to her wishes and also showed great kindness towards her. Everyone that I have dealt with has been approachable and accommodating. I couldn't have asked
for a more professional service to care for my mum.

Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services staff are very kind, thoughtful and helpful.
I couldn't live in my home without them coming. Nothing is ever too much and will always help with whatever.
Amend my calls around all my doctor and hospital appointments (two to three a week, sometimes more at the
moment).
Best care company around, so glad I have them and better than the previous company I had.
Thank you.

Review from Christine F (Daughter of Client) published on 13 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum became ill at the beginning of the year and very quickly lost the capacity to look after herself. Prior to this, she had been extremely independent. I initially attempted to sort a care package with the hospital, who recommended several local care providers, none of which seemed suitable. I found
information about Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services through an internet search and sent a rather desperate message to them at 11 pm one evening. Their response was received by 8 am the next morning, they could not have been more understanding, caring, efficient and informative.
They recommended a half-hour welfare daily package for Mum and met me at her property. They made Mum feel so comfortable and me so reassured that they were the correct choice for us. They are, without exception, kind, considerate and friendly. I cannot thank them enough. Not only do they check on her well-being but they all actively encourage her to take on her daily routine, get out into the garden and now even take short walks.

I have been a client with Brunelcare since 2015 the carers I have had are great. In my opinion the problem is the office it changed when some of the office staff changed a few years ago. I am surprised that nobody has wondered why so many staff leave.

I found the carers to be supportive and encouraging to do as much as possible for yourself. The contract seems complicated and now well explained using too many technical works and abbreviations. Leaving the client and the home carer feeling isolated making a stressful situation worse.

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 4.681 for Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 135 Ratings = 4.681
  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 Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services is based on 23 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.
