Lovely, friendly staff who have immediately bonded with my daughter. She looks forward to them coming each day, which makes me feel reassured that she's absolutely fine as I leave each day for work. Would happily recommend the agency to other people without hesitation.

Our experience with Essential Health has been very good and consistent.
On the whole, everyone is conscientious and pleasant.
All the girls have my welfare and comfort in mind. They are very aware of my likes and dislikes and I enjoy them visiting and taking care of me.

Essential Health comes into our home and treated my father with such respect and compassion. The carers came four times a day and soon became like family. The care given was amazing. Dad was treated with such dignity and the care received on his last day will be in my heart forever. It was not easy
having to accept help from "outsiders" but it soon became clear that Essential Health is a superb service and without them, Dad's life would not have been as comfortable as it was.

Essential health has been professional, caring and accommodating to mum-in-laws needs and wishes. She has a great relationship with her carers who know her well and have remained with her continually. This has allowed us to keep her at home as she wishes but given us peace of mind that she is exceptionally
well cared for. Any concerns are dealt with swiftly and efficiently with regard to her health. We, as a family are grateful for the care and reassurance that Essential Health gives us and would recommend them to everybody.

Mum's carers treat her as if she was actually a member of their own family. At all times she is cared for with respect and sympathy. The carers go above and beyond what we as a family were expecting, they are such lovely people. We feel very lucky to have them care for mum.

Review from Anne D (Daughter of Client) published on 11 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care and support given to my mum. Mum is registered blind and requires support with everyday living, including personal care, meal preparation, administration of prescribed medication. Despite her problems, she remains a very sociable person who likes to chat and have a laugh,
and her carers to date have been outstanding in meeting her needs.

Review from Jac H (Client) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the whole, staff are very pleasant and appear to be well trained.
At present, there seems to be a high staff turnover which makes for lack of consistency in carers who attend. The staff that do attend are pleasant and friendly. There are a few niggles but these are only minor and tend to stem from
personal preferences.

Thank you for your review. We are grateful for your feedback. Having looked into this, the schedules indicate that you do receive the same regular Care Givers each week. Unfortunately sometimes, especially around holiday periods, we may not be able to fulfil larger care packages using the existing team of Care Givers.
Essential health recently reviewed all feedback questionnaires, along with an audit of continuity. The feedback received very high scores and a Continuity audit of 97%.
We regret that your experience of continuity is not shared, we will do everything we can to minimise this during holiday periods. We are very grateful for your overall feedback.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Essential Health Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.854 for Essential Health Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 89 Ratings = 4.854
  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 Essential Health Ltd 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
  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.
