Review from P B (Daughter of Client) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are exemplary in behaviour and empathy. I get feedback constantly and calls with questions on how best to proceed with certain circumstances.
I have noticed on the days that mum has her carer in she starts the day content and happy, and this continues throughout the day.
At the start of
the care we created a care plan, myself and the supervisor. This has been adhered to and has been reflected in mums personality and appearance, the upkeep of the home leading to a healthy happy living.
Also may I add, the carer does not just do the chores she has a chat and social which in my opinion is as important.

We have used a few care agencies in the area but have found this company to be the best.
They are easily contactable and always strive to help and sort any problems that may have arisen. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Review from S C (Granddaughter of Client) published on 28 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This company is not professional at all. A care company has a duty of care to all their clients regardless of their needs. Some of the carers that cared for my grandad were amazing although some would come in and say “what does your sling go on”. My grandad would reply I don’t know, so then the carers
would put it on anyway and say “let’s hope for the best”. This is disgusting then when my nannan called the office about this the reply was “if you don’t like it you know what to do”. This is disgusting and I will be reporting this company to the CQC. Also stopped my grandad's care with no notice and caused high anxieties and worries for my family. Would not recommend their service at all.
Reply from Cheryl Thorne, Manager at Lifetime Home Care Ltd

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. To clear up a few of your concerns, 7 days' notice was served to the local authority which was done due to a lack of carers in your Grandfathers area and in line with the signed service agreement. We actually extended it to 14 days to support your grandfather at the social service's request which they terminated early. Nobody at our office has said "if you don't like it you know what to do" this is simply not true. We have delivered care for your Grandfather for many years and did not take terminating his care lightly, we can't comment on the "let's hope for the best" comment you made but based on the fact all other things you have pointed out are incorrect I will not respond to this. Please note all information and the actual facts regarding your comments are submitted to CQC including the Termination records given.

Review from Karen H (Daughter of Client) published on 7 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The carers really cared and that's so refreshing. My dad passed away at Christmas after being looked after at home by lovely carers; so patient, so kind. My dad loved singing and they made every effort to sing along with him and lift his spirits as his health and mobility spiralled downwards. I saw
the care and concern on their faces and with their actions. They made his last few months so much more bearable and pleasant and mine too. A lovely team.
Thank you.
Reply from Cheryl Thorne, Manager at Lifetime Home Care Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know that the team truly thought a lot of your dad. I shall be sure to pass on your comments.

My mum is very comfortable with her carers. They take very good care of her personal needs, and are always very chatty, and even though my mum can't speak they always involve her in conversations. This often makes her laugh which we enjoy watching.

I am very happy with the care I receive. They are a very caring team. I don't know what to expect when they said I had to have carers coming in to help me with my personal care, but I didn't need to worry about them. I am very glad with the team I am with. I say a big thank you to them all in this pandemic.

I am really pleased with the team of girls I have that care for me. They do the jobs that are asked of them perfectly and are a credit to your company. I have already recommended your company to a friend of mine who is looking into changing over to you. Please keep up the good work. Thank you for your
excellent service.

Since needing help I find that Lifetime Home Care Ltd has met my needs with carers of a good standard, efficient and respond well to my needs and arriving very well to the times selected by me. Always cheerful on arrival and often time to chat for a few minutes. I can recommend the agency.

Review from J S (Sister-in-law of Client) published on 18 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother-in-law seems happy with the care he receives which is only making a microwave dinner, toast for breakfast and a sandwich at teatime, along with a cup of tea. They also administer his tablets with water. However, I would appreciate them more if they would take more notice of the things I ask
them to do. I have even put notes on the wall and not all of the carers take notice of them. Apart from that everything seems fine.
Reply from Cheryl Thorne, Manager at Lifetime Home Care Ltd

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that on the whole, we are getting things right. I do believe since this card was submitted we have dealt with the issues of the notes to carers, however, we shall stay in contact with you to see that this improvement continues.
Kind Regards,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with my regular carers. I like to stick with my regular carers because of my strokes and like things to be familiar and have a routine. I don't like change but I understand that sometimes things change.
Reply from Cheryl Thorne, Manager at Lifetime Home Care Ltd

Thank you for your review.
We do truly value what all our customers and their families think.
I understand what you are saying and respect that it is much better when you have continuation. We have now done full recruitment and you will now have set carers. On occasion, due to sickness and holidays, we would need to use a different carer, but even this carer would be selected knowing that they have met you before and understand how to support you. Thank you for taking the time to let us know this issue though, as we can only ever improve by working on where we are going wrong.
Kind regards,
C Thorne.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.833) out of 10 for Lifetime Home Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 4.833 for Lifetime Home Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.833
  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 Lifetime Home Care Ltd is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  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.
