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.

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.

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: 8.3 (8.292)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.292) out of 10 for Nightingale Services is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.292 for Nightingale Services is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.292

  • b) 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 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Care Manager

Joined: 2025

I'm the Care Manager at Nightingale Services, and my journey in care is driven by a genuine passion for making a positive difference in people's lives.


With over ten years of management experience in healthcare, I've been committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care. This commitment is also deeply personal, as I have firsthand experience caring for both of my parents. This experience has given me a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualised support. Having also worked for various outstanding and award-winning care providers, I've had the privilege of contributing to their exceptional standards through my dedication and expertise.


I believe that people thrive best when they receive care in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by their loved ones. Specialising in home care and live-in care, I'm committed to ensuring that every individual gets the right support to live safely, independently, and with dignity. For me, care isn't just a job – it's about making a real difference in people's lives, helping them feel valued, comfortable, and truly supported.
