Review from A C (Daughter of Client) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the service supplied by Solihull Home Care. It is a very professional and well-run service. The most important initial request we asked was consistency of staff. This was recognised and has always happened which makes such a difference to mom. She has become familiar with the
lovely ladies who visit. They are always friendly, kind and understanding. They often go above and beyond reporting on a concern they have noticed. The app is excellent and very useful for tracking visits.
We really appreciate the flexibility offered too which fits around the care we offer mom as a family.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Solihull Home Care to everyone.

Review from Sarah B (Daughter of Client) published on 29 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been using Solihull Care for over 2 years and I have nothing but praise for the professionalism and care shown to my mom who has severe dementia. Her wish has always been to stay in her own home and I believe without the care provided by this team we would have had no choice but to go against
her wishes. As it is the carers give superb individualised care and treat my mom with respect promoting independence where possible. As a nurse by profession, I can recognise quality care and I have never once questioned their actions. My mom is beautifully clean and always dressed every day. I get a report on my phone after each visit (x 4 a day) and any concerns picked up by the carers are immediately passed to management who contact me. Calls are generally always on time and the carers stay for their allocated time. I really cannot underline how pleased I am with this company and would highly recommend them if you are looking for holistic, quality care for your loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent care, specific to my cousin's needs and willing to review it if it needs changing. Able to give suggestions of other ways of solving a problem. Able to add me to the care app used for each call so we/they can raise any worries immediately. I am able to contact them in office hours via the
phone or email and replies are always quick.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Solihull Care Ltd have provided high-quality care and support for my brother-in-law for the past 6 months. He has benefitted enormously from the support with personal care, diet, medication, companionship, housework etc.
The support workers are very caring and helpful, They always update us as to any
changes. The communication system that can be accessed easily via mobile for every call is very reassuring for the family.
I would highly recommend Solihull Care Ltd They have made such a positive improvement to my brother-in-law's well-being and reduced a lot of stress for the family.

Solihull Care has made my life 1000 times easier! I was hesitant at first to begin receiving home care, but the staff have made it an easy transition. They are so friendly and helpful that it genuinely just feels like friends are popping in quickly to help me out. Timings are not rigid and do not dictate
my life which is what I was most worried about, they are happy to accommodate your needs which is perfect for me. I would absolutely recommend and rate the staff at Solihull Care!

Review from C B (Wife of Client) published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are very pleased with the majority of carers. Most keep us informed of my husband’s condition and any steps we may need to take to inform other agencies, district nurses etc. They are pleasant and friendly as well as caring and professional. We are happy to welcome them into our home. We are concerned
about the number of carers as we have difficulty remembering them all and getting to know them.

We are very happy with the majority of the carers. They are very caring, looking after our mum the best they can. We are very lucky. Appreciate all the support and help they give to our mum. We thank you for all the support they give. Would be lost without them.

I have been using Solihull Care for three years now, and I find most of their staff are ok - some never talk and rush.
I have another agency, but Solihull Care is quite shocking at timekeeping.

Review from D H (Client) published on 12 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
On the whole, the carers are good, some better than others. Some will do things automatically without being asked and go beyond their remit, and others will only do the basic tasks and will not stay the full half an hour. My main grumble is with management. The times of arrival are sometimes rather
erratic. I know carers are in short supply at the moment, but I would appreciate a more definite time of arrival so that I can prepare my meal.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the carers who care for my husband treat him with respect. They listen to what he wants to do and keep him busy and interested. They cope with him well when he demands to go to work and do their best to distract him. He engaged well with all the carers. They also give me support during this difficult
time. I can leave them with my husband and either go out or get on with jobs with confidence. They all treat our home with respect.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.830 for Solihull Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.83
  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 Solihull Care Ltd is based on 8 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 = 4.8
  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.
