Care provided outside standard working hours requires special consideration:
- Early morning and evening visits help maintain daily routines, but require staff to work unsociable hours
- Overnight care disrupts normal sleep patterns and requires heightened vigilance
- Weekend and bank holiday care means our carers work when most people are with their families
Our pricing structure recognises that:
- Care workers providing evening, weekend, and holiday coverage sacrifice personal time
- Overnight shifts, whether waking or sleeping, require staff to be away from home
- Unsociable hours can impact work-life balance and require additional compensation
- Quality care depends on attracting and retaining skilled, dedicated professionals
This structured approach ensures:
- Consistent Staff Availability: Competitive rates for unsociable hours mean reliable coverage when you need it most
- Service Flexibility: Choose the level of support that matches your needs and budget
- Quality Assurance: Fair wages attract experienced carers who provide exceptional service
- Predictable Costs: Clear rate structures help you plan and budget effectively
By transparently reflecting the true cost of providing round-the-clock professional care, we maintain a stable, skilled workforce committed to delivering the highest standards of support whenever you need it.

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.083) out of 10 for Celtic Care Services Ltd (Chippenham) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.583 for Celtic Care Services Ltd (Chippenham) is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.583
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 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 Celtic Care Services Ltd (Chippenham) is based on 2 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 = 3.5
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
