Premier Care Services have been so helpful and kind during a very difficult time. The carers provided have quickly built a rapport and therapeutic relationships. The office staff have been very helpful, always willing to answer questions and discuss the care provided.

Premier has provided services for two members of my family over a period of almost 15 years. I have always found them to be polite and friendly, and I can honestly say that I couldn't have coped without them. Highly recommended.

Premier stepped in to provide Dad support at home once he was released from hospital and quickly built a relationship with him. By and large, the carers are usually timely and always professional. My Dad is grateful for their help and doesn't feel bad about asking for support when he needs it. I would
recommend them for anyone requiring support for a loved one. During COVID, they have been reliable and Dad has stated that they have been helpful.

I would like to leave this review to express how impressed I was over the care from this agency of my father.
The carers were very good and understanding with my dad who is in his later life of cancer with dementia.
They cared for him very gently and professionally with his complex needs.
The office
was always very accommodating when I called.
I was so impressed with a lady (Supervisor in the South Croydon branch). She was so lovely and empathetic towards me and nothing seemed to much trouble.
It was lovely to be able to talk to somebody who understood what I was going through and went out of her way to try and reassure me and help in any way the agency could and they did!
Thank you Premier for the outstanding care and carers!


Kind regards!
Keep up the good work!

Carers are good; if only the same could be said about the office.
Only just found out from my social worker they intend to stop my care.
No communication to me about this - from them to me.
Called to complain only to be told I am rude!
Since when's a complaint being rude?

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Premier Care Services Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.870 for Premier Care Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 77 Ratings = 4.87

  • 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 Premier Care Services 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.

I joined Premier Care Services this year 2019 as a Manager. So far I have completed so much training and I have had meetings with Brokerage re- Quality meetings on improving our services at Premier Care Services. I have met with families/ service users during assessments, spot checks and also worked closely with our staff in order we continue to provide high-quality service to service users and promote Equality and Diversity for all.


I have managed crisis, complaints and emergencies with successful outcomes. I have always notified CQC and Brokerage (Croydon) of any missed call and death that arises within the organisation. I have ensured that all carers/staff get their training up to date, carrying out staff meetings and worked closely with the directors aiming to provide high-quality services towards service users and staff at large.


I have also worked closely on medication monitoring ensuring that staff do record all medication being administered to service users and also ensuring that all medications are in a blister pack or doesn't box as this will prevent the error from carers when prompting or supervising medication.


I have continued to be diligent and focused in the delivery of care and support of the team. I am committed to ensuring that we aim at delivering high-quality care and support to service users and carers. I follow the policies and procedures under The Health and social care Act 2008 as (amended), The Health and social care act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.


I have worked closely to ensure that we follow CQC recommendations and improve the services being provided.


I support the team by carrying out Telephone Monitoring to service Users as this helps us to know how we are doing and any concerns that are reported are always resolved as soon as possible. At present, all service users are happy with the services being received. Carers’ timekeeping has improved massively and worked closely with carers educating them on the importance of communication has improved and reduced complaints from service users.


Services user’s preferences and wishes are always taken into account and this is always done during assessments.


I have also carried out person-centred Care plans for all service users as this is important due to service user’s different needs.
