Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been extremely lucky to have had a very experienced carer call almost daily for the last four years. During this period, my health has seriously deteriorated as has my mobility, but she has supported and guided me through these problems using her expertise and wide knowledge of many methods of
help! I have often asked her not to assist with tasks in the house and garden that I can no longer manage. She has been positive at all times and I shall miss her greatly when she moves shortly to a promotional position.

My father has Parkinsons and dementia. The carers at Nightingale were overall extremely considerate and respectful. They took the utmost care of his needs and kept me, as next of kin, informed of my father's requirements. I would highly recommend Nightingales and am so grateful for all that they have
done for my father.

Mum has had care from Nightingales for the past 14 years.
For many years she had the same carer who she struck up a great relationship with.
Lately, she has had a lovely caring carer.
Overall mum's care has been good.

Mum is looked after on a 24-hour basis at home. She is treated with respect and handled with care. She looks forward to staff visits and enjoys their company and that of her live-in Carer.

Review from Julia L (Daughter of Client) published on 15 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 93-year-old father has been using Nightingales Homecare in Reigate for the past few months and it has improved his quality of life tremendously. He had been loathe to have home care as unfortunately my mother had a different company a few years ago and they proved to be irregular in their time keeping
and always seemed to be too rushed to care. Nightingales’ carers are reliable, professional and extremely caring, often going beyond what is necessary to ensure that Dad is comfortable and happy. He used to say that he had little to get out of bed for but now he is so much more cheerful and looks forward to chatting away to his carers in the mornings. It has been lovely to see him more positive and happy, and it has also been a great relief to the family knowing that Dad has daily care from people that we can depend upon.

My 96-year-old mother-in-law was against having anyone to help her at home, but found all the staff she has met extremely kind and friendly, and is delighted with the weekly visits now. The managers have gone out of their way to accommodate her needs.

The carers were very competent, pleasant and on time. The company arranged the care very professionally and were completely responsive. Their record keeping, with respect to the time the carer was with my mother in law, was precise and completely accurate. We have no complaints and overall the service
was excellent.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has received excellent care over a number of years, at home. Most of the carers have been responsive, caring and diligent. Those who have not met standards are replaced quickly. To put your trust in a complete stranger to look after your parent well is hard. I have been fortunate to have such
dedicated help. My only negative is the communication from the office could be better.

Review from C A (Husband of Client) published on 7 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Before using Nightingales, we used an agency suggested by the local council authority. We were not happy with them, the staff were young and not very experienced. Timekeeping was not good.


The staff at Nightingales were more mature and experienced. They use their own cars and timekeeping was good.

We generally had the same person and staff seemed to stay at Nightingales. A weekly schedule is produced giving times and staff attending. They were significantly more expensive than the previous agency but we thought that it was well worth it.


We stopped using the agency because my wife passed away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother received help once a week over the past 3 years, mainly for shopping and household chores. The same carer always came as requested and when away, a replacement always came - we were never let down. The regular carer was honest, efficient and very caring. My mother was always treated with respect
and kindness. We really couldn't fault the service given.

Nightingales were very kind to my dad right up to the end and 2 carers even took the trouble to come to his funeral and were kind enough to say how they liked looking after my dad. It showed a level of care and kindness you can only hope for - until you know it has happened. The firm was also good at
providing ad hoc important feedback when something unusual happened, either to my dad, his flat or if something needed buying. Overall, a very good experience. Thank you.

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 4.926 for Nightingales HomeCare is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 244 Ratings = 4.926
  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 Nightingales HomeCare is based on 41 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.
