Review from G L (Client) assisted by family/friend published on 28 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the outset, my needs were discussed in a friendly and professional manner. Everything was laid out clearly, and no questions left unanswered. I have always been advised as to who was coming on the set days prior to arrival, all the carers have been patient, helpful and kind. They have taken time
to get to know me, and as a result, I cannot fault them or the management team. This is an excellent organisation in the area, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.
I will be continuing this service for a while yet.

Review from Monica G (Daughter of Client) published on 13 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the carers as they are very patient and kind to my mum and listen to her. My mum can be difficult, yet the carers have managed to get my mum washed, bathed and eat hot food.
They have also been patient with me as I wasn’t really sure of how much care my mum would need, yet the
manager has been very good in advising me and reassuring us both,
Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kare Plus are easy to contact and nothing is too much trouble. They take my grandad to his blood transfusions as/when required.


The care manager is very knowledgable to the service required and sends someone that exceeds all needs, notifying me if there is anything additional that I need to be made

aware of


Great service by all!


Thank you.

Review from P C (Wife of Client) published on 24 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very grateful for the help and support we have been given. The carers have shown considerable patience in keeping my husband in a set routine when taking him to bed. They ensure that he is comfortable in bed and leave him completely relaxed to have a good night's sleep. The bathroom is always
left clean and tidy after use. I appreciate the fact that he carers chat with my husband to stimulate his brain.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The manager is a genuine, kind hearted and warm person. She has fulfilled her promise to find carers who will treat my son and me with respect. My son's situation, along with my own health, requires regular adjustment and effective communication. The last 6 months have been a dream. Thank you to all
the hardworking staff and all of the management team.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10 for Nightingale Services 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.667 for Nightingale Services is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 30 Ratings = 4.667
  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 Nightingale Services is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
  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.
