Review from Patricia H (Daughter of Client) published on 24 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
TerraBlu helped support my mother for over five years. Without their outstanding professionalism, endless patience and kindness, Mum would not have been able to live independently for as long as she did. Her carers were wonderful, always accommodating and gentle with Mum, and her quirky ways. I would
recommend them in a heartbeat.

After having an awful and very distressing experience with our mum's previous care providers TerraBlu was recommended to us by a District Nurse. We have found the whole team absolutely professional and caring. We found them genuine and trusted them completely. Their care and understanding have helped
us through a very difficult time. Thank you.

Overall very happy with the care TerraBlu provided for my mother. They provided individualised care for a vulnerable older person with kindness and professionalism. They ensured all decisions were with the client in mind and ensured we were involved and kept well informed. Their experience in the services
available and equipment to make living at home achievable was very much appreciated. In addition, they were thoughtful and supportive in providing additional care to enable attendance to life events and appointments. The staff were caring and trustworthy, providing us with peace of mind that Mum was truly cared for.

I am so impressed by the excellent care that my parents receive from Terrablu. The staff are not only highly skilled and professional but also warm and friendly.
My parents look forward to seeing them on a daily basis, as they have got to know the team of regular carers that make the visits at either
end of their day.
It takes so much pressure off me, their daughter, knowing that they are so well cared for and I can only highly recommend this care service!

We have been hugely impressed with the care Mum has received from TerraBlu. The team in the office do a superb job of managing our needs and the visiting care staff have been lovely with her. The carers have all been so dedicated and kind, enabling Mum to remain in her own home for longer. I’d happily
recommend TerraBlu.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my elderly parents started to need extra help with their care, a friend recommended TerraBlu as she had been and still is very happy with them. The whole team from the carers to the office staff are excellent. Kind, caring and extremely efficient. Without Terrablu’s support, my life would be very
different. They take away any worries and concerns when it comes to looking after older parents. I would not cope without them, my parents certainly wouldn’t.

We have been a client of TerraBlu for approximately a year and from our first contact I have found Terrablu a pleasure to work with. They provide support for my wife who is wheelchair-bound after a major stroke. Our primary carers are so supportive and caring. I have nothing but praise for them.

We have a carer come every morning to wash and dress my husband. They are always cheerful and do a very caring service and ask if there is anything else they can do.

These carers have improved my life. I feel safe with them and enjoy seeing them. I know I can trust them if my needs increase and know I can rely on them to do the job and be on time and treat me with dignity and respect (not all agencies manage this in my experience). The office is approachable and
accommodating with good communication, you are more than just a number to them. Carers are well-supported and well-trained so they are confident in the work and above all, want to be there. It's the best agency I've had and every carer has been great.

TerraBlu provide constant levels of personalised high service to my mother who lives in an assisted living complex. From the outset, the team at TerraBlu were keen to get to know Mum as an individual and establish her particular needs. The team are proactive in dealing with issues that may impact Mum's
well-being and are very effective in keeping the family updated. The team are also able to take Mum to medical appointments with prior arrangement. I recommend TerraBlu in the highest possible terms for their excellent care!

I am extremely happy with the way I am treated by all the staff. The staff are very caring and professional. The staff treat me with great respect and I feel that they go above and beyond when looking after me. I don't know how I would manage without them. It's not just the physical aspect of the care
it's the mental health side because I look forward to seeing them morning and evening. The office staff are also on top of their game, nothing is a problem. All the staff help make my life more enjoyable so thank you very much.

After having several home care companies. I found the best one at last. Three double-handed calls a day. Times are great, they fit around us. All carers have been caring, respectful and manage difficult times brilliantly.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for TerraBlu Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.862 for TerraBlu Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.862
  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 TerraBlu Ltd is based on 9 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 = 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.
