Family Homecare has been coming to help me for about 2 years now. The carers are friendly and well-trained. It is nice knowing I will see regular carers who quickly learn your routines and needs. No visit is rushed and they ensure they spend any extra time assisting in any way they can!
They are adaptable
to my changing needs on a daily basis. Whether it be personal care, food preparation, housework or even having a chat when I feel lonely and sad, they are happy to adjust it to what I require at every visit.
The office have always been approachable to discuss changes to my care package. I have never felt rushed or like they want to get off the phone urgently!
They are very understanding when it comes to my nutty rescue dogs and always make sure to give them cuddles and ensure their needs are met too!
After a bad experience with a previous company, I honestly couldn't ask for anything more from Family Homecare.

Reply from Ruth Knowles, Registered Manager at Family Homecare Ltd

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Family Homecare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.823 for Family Homecare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 124 Ratings = 4.823

  • 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 Family Homecare Ltd is based on 20 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.

Job Title: Care Support Worker

Joined: 2011

I started work at Family Homecare in 2011, for what was a small team of dedicated carers.


In the twelve years I have been here the company has grown and flourished.


Led by a caring Manager the office staff and carers are all so helpful, considerate and really do care.


We treat our Service users as we ourselves and our families would wish to be treated.


I enjoy my role as a Carer, whether it be household duties, personal care or just a chat when I close their door I know I've made a difference to our Service user's lives.
