Review from Mary F (Daughter of Client) published on 2 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was placed on palliative care at the end of August. He slowly deteriorated and this last month took to his bed. His two main carers were so gentle with him. On his last night with us, they made him comfortable in bed and said goodnight to him, see him in the morning. Unfortunately, Dad passed, but
I believe he felt settled when the boys put him to bed as he went within 15 mins. I will miss their care for Dad, they were brilliant, and it was the right decision to change agency.

Your staff have been excellent in every way. My wife has COPD and is always fighting for breath. The two girls treat her with kindness and gentleness, and my wife really loves them. I cannot "myself" thank them enough for what they do. Thank you.

We are very happy with the service we have and are receiving from Skillcare Ltd. The carers are very caring/supportive to my mother as well as the rest of the family. It is a joy and less stressful to know my mum is receiving the care she well deserves.

Review from Marios L (Son of Client) published on 16 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Month of June, drop in standard, certain care workers refusing simple tasks. My mother is the easiest of all your patient, yet a small request was declined because it's "not on the list". Well, sometimes, they need to think outside of the box, taking all into account.
Reply from Maygan Forbes, Office Manager at Skillcare Ltd

Dear Marios, thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. The care plan has been updated to reflect the tasks that are not being completed, and this will be placed in the home promptly. We have gone through this care plan again with all the allocated care staff. We will be constantly monitoring the situation and progress notes to ensure your mother is receiving a high standard of care.

Skillcare is a very professional care company. The management is exceptional, ensuring that clients feel well looked after. Both management, staff and carers are very respectful, understanding and polite. They know exactly how to make their clients feel special and important. They are very trustworthy,
very intelligent and gentle. Dignity is so important, and they provide that at all times. We feel so happy to be in their care.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.429)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.429) out of 10 for Skillcare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.729 for Skillcare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.729
  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 Skillcare Ltd is based on 7 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 = 4.7
  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.
