Overall, the care company is very good. Sometimes I would like different times during the day but because of finances, this is not always available. It is all about money and time in the end. Overall, a very good care company.

Reply from Yoli Tanner, Home Care Manager at St George's Home Care

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that due to your financial situation we are unable to increase your times at the moment but hopefully this can be resolved when your Power of Attorney has sorted this out and look forward to many more years supporting you.

Excellent help. Carers are kind, treat my husband with dignity, help when needed, encourage him to help himself, and have a laugh and joke together. I couldn't ask for better help.

A very reliable and pleasant carer arrives to care for my wife for 4 hours to allow me to go out. She had a stroke so needs help. Reliable of time and very supportive of my wife and helps her with personal care and meals.

My mum returned home from respite care in a care home following a bad fall. St George's Home Care is supporting her to remain in her own home with as much independence as possible. The care she is receiving is nothing short of amazing. The carers are kind, patient, very well-trained and respectful.
The whole operation is professional, open and transparent. Everyone concerned is approachable and competent and my mum so looks forward to their visits. She seems more relaxed, happy and content with life now, they have also brought some fun into her life! I would recommend St George's to anyone.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I know the staff will be delighted to hear that both you and Mum are happy with the care and support they give, they all thoroughly enjoy visiting Mum and are very grateful that she kindly shared her recipe with them as well.

We began using St George's Home Care on weekday mornings a year ago and have been very pleased to have had their support. The carers who visit us are all friendly without being intrusive, understanding, careful and very competent. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are unfailingly cheerful,
even on cold and dark winter days when the rain was pouring down and the roads were flooded and driving to us was difficult. To anyone considering home care we would say 'look no further than St George's'.

I have a carer for an hour, 8-9 am, seven days a week, and also for 30 minutes in the evening to be helped to bed. Ideally, that would be later, but I recognise the rota problems and that the long day shift ends at 9 pm. All the many carers I have had have been efficient and pleasant. Obviously, one
relates better to some people, but I do not object to anyone. They are well trained by St George's.

Were my husband's carers until January 2023, when my husband went into the hospital with pneumonia and is still in the hospital. The carers were excellent for him and became our friends very quickly, and he loved them. Unfortunately, my husband needs 24-hour care now, so will be transferred to a permanent
care home upon discharge from the hospital.

Reply from Yoli Tanner, Home Care Manager at St George's Home Care

Thank you for your lovely review, Barbara. It has been a pleasure helping to support your husband. I know all the carers are going to miss you both tremendously, and we all hope the move to the care home goes well. I will pass on your kind review to all the staff.

Had no complaints from the beginning to update. Really nice all of them are. They are willing to do things you ask for and it's never been a problem. Being a carer is not always as easy as it looks. Well done to you all.

Mum's carer has been excellent in her care of my mother and goes above her job to do things for her. She always keeps her dignity, and Mum looks forward to her visits. She gives me peace of mind that she is in great hands.

St George's Home Care has been very diligent and caring when dealing with my mother. If needs be, they call me whilst visiting to inform me of things which need action - low medicines or power cuts. During the recent storms, one even nipped back home to fill flasks with hot water so that Mum could have
a hot drink. The staff visit regularly, but also different ones have a day so that chat and faces vary. The regular ones are used to the client's ways and manage to sneak in all she needs when all she wants to do is chat. I'm too far away to be able to just pop round and sort things, but I have peace of mind knowing that St George's are going in daily.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for St George's Home Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.667 for St George's Home Care is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 St George's Home Care is based on 11 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.
