I can hardly believe it is coming up to a year that you have been coming here. It has made such a difference, having your help.
I have nothing but praise for all your carers, they are so caring and patient, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The office also is a good backup, nothing seems a
trouble to them, they are also very supportive, no matter what the problem.

I have received care from Heritage for 14 years. They are reliable and keep in touch with me regarding any changes. My carers are friendly and efficient. They help with all my needs and talk in a friendly, caring way, giving me companionship. They are first-rate.

Heritage Healthcare provides a first-class service. The care workers are excellent and go out of their way to provide care of the highest quality. We appreciate the fact that we have had the same carers for a long time who give their utmost support and nothing ever seems too much trouble. Our daughter's
needs are very well known to them. All these things give her an enormous sense of security. The leadership and office team are very supportive and we appreciate the efforts that are made to meet our care requests each month. We were recently extremely impressed with the induction programme for a new care worker. The company wholeheartedly supported her by giving as much time as she needed to shadow so when she came to work independently, the change was absolutely seamless and we acquired another excellent team member. We cannot rate the service that is provided by Heritage highly enough, thank you to everyone.

When looking for support and care I had concerns about being with an agency. I was concerned as to how well my carers would know me, whether would I feel comfortable, would I know from one day or another who would be coming. How on earth would I sort it all out with an agency?
The answer was a great
agency! Which I believe I have found in Heritage Healthcare North East (Darlington).
On my first phone call with a particular member of staff I was so overwhelmed with worry about it but also with joy and excitement of all the change. She listened, was friendly, had patience and gave me confidence. I have found that the small team of people who work in the office to sort out hours, sort the payments, sort out what care I need and iron out wrinkles are just as fantastic.
All my carers are skilled, professional and just super lovely. I now have a team of 2 carers and I look forward to their visits so much. Both know me well.
My life is just so much better with carers and Heritage have made it easy. Thanks.

I find the staff all caring and respectful. The only problem is the lunch visit at 2 pm is too late 1 pm-1.30 pm better. As a family, we are very happy with Heritage Healthcare.

We have experienced some teething problems in the past regarding putting to bed too early 6.20pm (too early does not like these times) after 7pm she is fine with. A couple of occasions lunch staff come at 10.50/11.10am, to give lunch but this has not happened since. A couple of times rotas have not
been sent, she likes to know who is coming. Overall my mum is happy with all the staff that comes and thinks they are all lovely and chatty. Can staff when emptying the commode at the side of the bed spray round it. That's all kept in the bathroom. Just keeps it fresh, thank you.

I have always talked any problems over with my carers so that I don't have to bother the "establishment". There have been few during my nine-plus years in "care" and I have no complaints. Everything is fine.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.746)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.746) out of 10 for Heritage Healthcare (North East) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.746 for Heritage Healthcare (North East) is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.746

  • 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 Heritage Healthcare (North East) is based on 12 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.
