Excellent service overseen by the manager who I can't speak highly enough of. Carers are on time, no rush and make my father comfortable and at ease.
Highly recommended.

Samfos Health has been very good for my Mum. They are reliable and have treated her with dignity. They are the best health care provider that we have had. My mother thought that we were going to have to change to another provider and this made her very nervous. We have no complaints about Samfos Health
and we would like to carry on using them. They are a trustworthy organisation.

Samfos Health provides a very good service. I am pleased that my mum gets regular carers and not lots of different people calling as this can be unsettling for some folks. They are always reliable and cheerful. Nothing is too much trouble for them and if I ever need any advice, I know I can always contact
them at any time.

The care my mother has received for Samfos Health is exceptional. My mother is so pleased and she thinks her carers are a great delight. The empathy and understanding shown to my mother has also helped the rest of our family. The constant communication with Samfos Health is next to none. I would recommend
Samfos Health 100% to anyone in my mother's situation. A big thank you to Samfos Health!

I can't speak highly enough of the service provided by Samfos when we approached them for support for Dad. They were understanding of our needs and sympathetic and professional in their dealings with Dad. They invested time in getting to know Dad and what he liked and delivered first class care and
support. Clearly, time has been invested in staff training as this shines through in all our dealings. From our experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the manager and his team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.622) out of 10 for Samfos Health is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.622 for Samfos Health is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 90 Ratings = 4.622

  • 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 Samfos Health is based on 15 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.
