My mother (101) had a fall and couldn't get up from the floor. I called Ethos Care Services Ltd, and a carer was there in 30 minutes on an unscheduled visit to get her on her feet again. The carer stayed with her for an hour to make sure that she was okay. A fantastic service!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined the Ethos Anytime Care Service ( ACS/ their 24/7 Falls Service) in June. My 94yro mum still lives in her own flat & has regular carers & homehelps coming in several times a day but it is the nightime in particular that I worry if she should have a fall.
I am going to Australia early September
for several months as my daughter is having twins & so I needed to find this extra support for Mum especially while I am away.
Within 2-3 weeks of subscribing we had to call out ACS. Mum had slipped off her seat & I had popped over & then called ACS. Within a very short time a carer arrived with the equipment & on checking Mum over, felt she was ok to get up. The carer set up & explained everything she was going to do & reassured Mum through each stage of using the Manga Riser Seat & then mobilising her to bed. It was such a relief to know she was in safe hands. I go away without the worry & stress knowing ACS will take care of Mum when needed. THANK YOU

I needed a carer to help to my mom with her personal needs while she was away from home. Ethos were extremely helpful in setting this up. We had the same carer each day and had access to a portal which provided information about moms care each day. The level of care given was brilliant.

Although my sister was reluctant, once the carers were visiting, she really enjoyed the interaction and could not praise them enough. The care administrators were easy to talk to and were always available for advice and updated on her condition.

The carer for my mother was absolutely wonderful! My niece and I were exhausted before we had help, and then this fantastic person arrived and was so capable, practical and extremely kind. My mother took to her immediately, and they were soon great friends. Cannot praise her more highly. We are
so grateful for all her help and advice.

The Ethos team were contacted and request was made for urgent support for my stepfather. The team came to the home and met with us all at short notice. A very clear, and honest presentation was given which was easy to understand. This was also done with compassion and understanding.
Throughout the
involvement with Ethos the team were very open and transparent and gave great advice. This service provider has been such a blessing to us all as a family. Would highly recommend.

Review from Anthony G (Son of Client) published on 25 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad has been benefitting from 'waking nights care' provided by Ethos for a while now - following some 'night-time issues'.


We have been very happy with the carers, who have been able to 'fit in' with Dad following some initial reservations.


I believe we were 'guinea-pigs' for the Waking Nights

Service - which wasn't previously offered but I hope the company consider expanding to include this as part of their regular offerings. If this does happen I would strongly encourage others to see this as a good route for their loved ones to remain in their own houses, compared with the alternative.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ethos Care was recommended to us by the daughter of a previous client. It was an excellent recommendation - we are extremely pleased. The management are proactive and very keen to help and will always try to make and succeed in making any adjustment I request to the care calendar. For example, they
will accommodate requests for one-off extra support if required. I don't envy the people arranging the carer's calendar - they do an excellent job. We normally see the same two carers but have others because of days off etc. Each one has been excellent in assisting my wife who required full assistance with her activities of daily living. Each has been empathetic, caring, cheerful and hard-working. I particularly like the app used by Ethos. From a client's perspective, it has an up-to-date calendar so you know exactly when a carer is due to arrive. The timetabling is extremely accurate - normally the carers arrive exactly on time or on very rare occasions never more than 5 minutes late. This provides certainty for the client and excellent customer-focused care.

Ethos have been providing my elderly father with care in his home for several weeks. He has dementia and other health issues. I am very happy with the work their team has done for him and he has also expressed his gratitude for their work.
They provide helpful notes from each care visit through a secure
online system and contact me whenever something requiring discussion or a decision arises. All their staff I have met or contacted have been professional, friendly and approachable.

I have had Ethos providing my care for over 12 months now, and in all that time, they have been efficient, reliable and extremely pleasant, always on time, and on the rare occurrence that they have been late, it has been when there has been an emergency elsewhere. I have an unpleasant skin condition
which they have been extremely sympathetic with and managed very well.

Since engaging Ethos Care we have been delighted with the office staff and all the carers who visit my aunt. They all appreciate my aunt's needs and are sympathetic to the challenges of her dementia. The carers are always kind and understanding and my aunt looks forward to their visits.

When I thought I had to have carers I thought, Oh No! Since I have been with Ethos Carers I have changed my mind as they are excellent carers. They really look after me and I would recommend them. Always reliable and on time.

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 4.750 for Ethos Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Ethos Care Services is based on 18 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
  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.
