Innovations have gone above and beyond with the care they have given my mother. She can be very difficult and time consuming. They have endless patience and understanding with her. Often staying longer than they should or popping into check she is ok. They are a wonderful care company and I recommend
them to everyone.

The Deputy Manager and team do a wonderful job taking care of my elderly mother who has dementia. We live abroad and so the virtual partnership with the team at Innovations Wiltshire is particularly important. I have found them to be caring, flexible and thoughtful. They show great respect and patience
with my mum and seek to preserve her dignity whilst ensuring she is safe and looked after. The app is a game changer and allows me to get ahead of problems and also get a daily sense of how mum is doing. I cannot speak highly enough about the entire team. Their care has transformed my mum's life for the better. For me and our family who are living with this disease for the first time, the Deputy Manager always takes the time to guide and advise when asked - she's a great educator and ally as we go along this journey. I'm so thankful for her.

Reply from Sally Young, Manager at Innovations Wiltshire Ltd

Thank you so much for your comments. It is so important to know that we are doing a good job. My deputy is very committed to her role and very professional. She is an asset to our team. We work hard to make sure that those who make the choice to stay at home have the best possible experience.

Innovations provide a valuable service for my mother, who has dementia. The carers who visit her are very helpful and willing, and deal with her sympathetically and professionally. Of particular note is how flexible they are if we need to change dates or times for carer visits. They have also been happy
to send someone to collect her if we have taken her out to a family event (twice to a family wedding). Happy to recommend this company.

Innovations have provided a great, reliable service when looking after my father who has dementia. He has mood swings yet they always do their best to accommodate them and at the same time deal sympathetically and professionally with his care needs. They are also good at keeping me informed of any new
health concerns, even contacting medical staff if required. These lovely people have enabled my father, to carry out his wish, tp stay in his own home during his final days.

Thank you so much, for your lovely comments. Both your father and the family are a pleasure to know.

I have been using Innovations carers to help me to look after my wife for the last six months. The quality of their support has been excellent. They show wonderful courtesy, kindness and understanding on each visit. Their manager is businesslike and accessible and very obliging. I recommend them as
outstanding carers.

I have used Innovations for seven years now and I can't fault them on any aspect of the service. This starts with the management. The manager and her deputy are superb. I have carers four times a day and if any problems arise they can be contacted at any time. They are a happy and committed team of
carers who perform their work in a friendly and efficient manner to a very high standard. The manager and her deputy have formed a good relationship between themselves and the community nurses and the GP surgery so that medical help is soon available if required.

Innovations have made it possible for my mother to remain living in her own home which has always been her preference.
Over the years the care team have built good relationships with her and she mostly enjoys their daily visits.
They keep her safe. They report concerns or changes in her health to
her doctor who is contacted so that the correct medication can be administered when required.
My sister and I also support her care and we work well with Innovations to make sure that Innovations have what they need to provide her care.
If problems arise (which they can because we are all human) the senior team can be contacted easily. They provide every opportunity to discuss any concerns which I am pleased to say are always acted upon promptly.
We have established a good dialogue with Innovations which is important as my mother's care has changed and evolved over the years.

Innovations are providing excellent care for my relative, consistently dealing with and resolving often complex situations with great efficiency and empathy. All the care staff have taken the time to get to know my relation and understand her specific needs. They are very efficient, friendly and frequently
deal with sudden crises. In particular, the manager of Innovations provides exceptional support, constantly monitoring my relative, allocating extra care support as required, and keeping me fully and regularly up to date. I can clearly say Innovations has transformed my relation's quality of life, enabling her to have a better quality of life. Our family is grateful. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Innovations.

Innovations have provided care for my father for over a year. The management is very professional, friendly and very accessible. All of the carers, including the management, have developed an excellent relationship with our family; this has helped immensely with the provision of care that is carried
out. We feel very confident in what they do in supporting not only my father by also my mother. They have struck up a relationship with our family which has been invaluable, they go above and beyond what is expected. The friendly, patient and supportive attitude that they adopt towards my father is very reassuring. We know that dad is in the best of hands and the support that they also give mum is outstanding. This is a very caring, care company. We do not hesitate to recommend Innovations, the best care provision that we have experienced.

Innovations are a wonderful care company. They go out of their way to make sure the clients are comfortable and happy in their homes. Often working very late to make sure clients are cared for, taking them to appointments etc. Any problems, they get in contact with me straight away to sort things out.
My mum loves all her carers and looks forward to them going every day. She tells me how much she loves them going and the company they give.

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 4.756 for Innovations Wiltshire Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.756

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Innovations Wiltshire Ltd is based on 13 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

  • 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.
