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!

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.

Reply from Mandy Curran, Manager at Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services

Thank you very much for this lovely feedback for the Discharge to Assess Team. I'm glad we were able to support your father during this difficult time and make things that little bit easier for him. I will pass this on to the Team, who I know will appreciate reading this.

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.

Thank you so much for this lovely review, I'm so glad that we were given the opportunity to support your mum and it is comforting to read that she was happy with the service we provided. I will ensure that we pass on your comments to the team.

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.

Overall Experience  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.

I enjoy the time I have with my carers, especially the regular carers that look after me each week. They are very kind and considerate and take the time to ensure my needs are well looked after. Their care is to a very high standard and I enjoy their company. They also always try to accommodate my requirements
with timings and will go out of their way to ensure these are met, so thank you for looking after me so well.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.729 for Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.729

  • b) 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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Brunelcare Somerset Home Care Services is based on 22 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

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
