Nightingale's could not have been more helpful. Care was arranged very quickly for Mum and all the carers have been very caring and respectful. I am extremely pleased with the service provided and can highly recommend Nightingale's.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you so much for that kind review. We understand at times care is needed immediately, and will always try and set this up straight away. We are so pleased that your mum has benefitted from the service. Thank you Wendy Harvey

Nightingales provide an excellent service and are always available if I need to ask anything. My mother-in-law is receiving very good care and Wendy goes above and beyond and we are extremely grateful.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for those lovely comments. Nightingales try hard to ensure the care a client receives is of the highest standard. We support not only the client ,but the family as well in their time of need.
Thank you Wendy

Carers were very professional and empathetic with mum in the days leading up to her death. She was given excellent personal care and appropriate meals and drinks offered. Mum was very frail and weak in the last weeks of her life and I had every faith in the carers looking after her. She died with dignity
and love. I could not have asked for more.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for that lovely review. From the Nightingales team could we say what a privilege it has been, to have looked after your Mum for the last 16 years. We will fondly remember the trips out for milkshake, and the wonderful way your Mum could brighten the greyest of days with that laugh. Thank you From us all at Nightingales.

We are only a couple of months in with our relationship with Nightingales but so far everything has been professional, caring, tailored to my mother's needs, and in making my life easy in terms of making arrangements. I couldn't have asked for more with all staff we've so far had contact with several
members of staff and mum is building a good relationship with her primary carer.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for your review. We listen to understand and build a care package around each clients needs. So pleased that you feel the benefit for you both already. Kind regards

I was discharged from hospital 19.12. 23 after a major operation unable to bend, wash hair, bath, wash below my waist. I live alone. I contacted Nightingale's (recommendation through a friend) it was wonderful - prompt assessment and a care package set up quickly so that I was looked after for the next
3 1/2 months until I could manage myself. My carer was an angel - words cannot express how much I appreciated the excellent care I received; a boost both mentally and physically. I felt someone cared.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you so much for that lovely review. I know the carer will be so pleased to know what a difference that made.

Since starting with 'Nightingales' in January I have had absolutely no concerns over the care provided to my mother.
Whilst the care mainly involves cleaning and vacuuming the contact and regular 'keeping an eye' on my mother gives me confidence that any possible issues both health wise and property
wise can be dealt with promptly.
My mother now considers her carers as her friends and values there visits.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for that positive review. So pleased to hear that your mother feels so comfortable with the carers.

I contacted Nightingales for personal care assistance following a replacement shoulder operation. The office staff were very supportive in setting up my requirements for assistance washing/showering + dressing a.m and getting ready for bed in the evening. All members of caring team extremely kind and
made the whole experience a good one. Would contact in future if we need of care.

We have had a really good experiennce with Nightingales. The carers are friendly and competant.
Adjustments to cover required have always been accomodated - even one day when we wanted an extra emergency visit!
There is little to fault with their service.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Was pleased with the care my mum (sadly now deceased) received from Nightingales.They were friendly and upbeat and Mum who initially was against any form of care, used to enjoy their visits .
If l ever needed additional last minute care or to change something they were always very obliging.
In Mum's
final days they were so helpful to me and called in even though it was not technically the day they were due .
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for your positive review. I know the care team enjoyed caring for your mum over the years. Such a dignified lady.

I have been using Nightingale care for some time now. I find the service they give is very high standard. My Dad looks forward to the carer coming in to give him his breakfast.
They always spend time to have a chat with him and always ask if they can do anything else before they leave.
I would recommend
Nightingale care to anybody who is looking for Care in the home
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you so much for those kind words. Nightingales try very hard to ensure that a professional and high standard if care is delivered.

My first interaction with Nightingales was around May 2022. My father had recently been discharged from hospital and needed nursing care at home, which was initially 3 visits per day and then increased to 4 from February 24.
The girls took care of my father by dealing with his personal care and preparation
of food. He was primarily bed bound so not an easy task. They were always bubbly and got on with my father extremely well, although sometimes my father could be quite rude at times if he didn't want to be disturbed but they just took it on the chin.
Unfortunately my father passed away at home in May 24 and was found by one of the carers. They dealt with my father in a dignified way and cleansed him and made him look peaceful before my sister and I were able to get to the property. They stayed to console us as long as we wanted for which I am internally grateful.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you so much for those kind words. I know the carers built a good bond with your father and working closely with yourselves.

Nightingale Care were wonderful in helping with care on several occasions in 2024 for both my parents who had complex needs. They bent over backwards to understand and support the situation and I can't praise them highly enough. Thank you.
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you so much for those kind words. Nightingales try very hard to ensure we support the clients in their own homes.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother (well into her 90s) has been using Nightingale's for sometime. She lives alone and is mobile inside the house, and still living in her own home after a heart attack and Covid. But I live and work abroad and can't be home. Nightingale's have provided morning and evening care service for some
years. All that time they have been efficient and responsive, and - most important - my mother finds the carers capable and pleasant. As with any such service, minor glitches arise because of staffing situations, and while carer characters and approaches differ, all have met good standards of care, efficiency, and honesty. Those are all important things when I can't be close by, and are all relayed to me from my mother, who gives me daily updates on which carers did what. I'm not sure how to rate this in stars. Neither I nor my mother have had any real complaints, but we're not looking for nursing "angels", just a reliable, realistic and trustable human response and that is what we've had!
Reply from Wendy Harvey, Registered Manager at Nightingale's Home CareThank you for taking the time to review Nightingales, we very much appreciate your kind words. We have a great pleasure in looking after your mum, such a sunny personality.

The carers are friendly and professional. They listen to the needs of my sister and go at her pace.
The only reason I have marked management down is that we have at times had two carers turn up at different times or they have turned up when my sister has been in respite.
Other than this minor point
I would recommend Nightingales as they are all very helpful, friendly and professional.
I have not been able to rate Value for Money as the council pays for my sister's care.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.769 for Nightingale's Home Care is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.769
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Nightingale's Home Care is based on 16 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4.9
  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.
