Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Have been very happy with this company. Any hiccups have been solved and dealt with. My two main carers are smart, professional, kind and caring. I would recommend to my friends without any hesitation.

I am very happy with the ongoing care and support Unique Homecare are providing for my father and mother. I have found both management and staff to be very friendly and helpful, right from my first contact with the office. The Family are so pleased to have found Unique Care.

From my first phone call, it took just 36 hours to have care in the home. The level of care is exemplary and quickly moved to additional visits. All requests to both management and carer were quickly implemented.

Cheery staff, helpful, supportive, respectful and quietly confident. They do jobs without a fuss and are keen to do jobs. Unique have always been very understanding about changing their rota shifts at last minute and have done so politely.

Unique treat everyone as a particular individual. Care for Mum has been all that we could have hoped for.
A real passion and love for those in need comes through from the leadership and all the staff we have had the pleasure to meet.

Review from William H (Client) assisted by family/friend published on 19 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our first experience of using Unique Homecare Services Ltd for a 'respite' day was highly satisfactory. The carer took me out for a couple of interesting hours. We found a lot to chat about and plenty of interesting things to do. He was very helpful and supportive and good company.

I am a middle aged user who is temporarily disabled. I have used Unique Homecare Services Ltd to drive me to appointments etc while unable to drive myself. I have received a professional and flexible service. It has been a godsend.

Review from Alma N (Wife of Client) published on 25 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm so glad I've found Unique. They work in a different way from the other agencies that I know and have been like a breath of fresh air to me. Their way of working allows for greater flexibility with hours, enabling me to take additional respite when I need it. There is much greater negotiation of
additional hours directly with the carer, allowing us to work more closely together for the benefit of all.


Right from my first point of contact, Unique have been totally professional, calm and caring.


My husband is supported to do the things he enjoys but is also stimulated to try new and different things. His carer has formed a great relationship with him and I am very impressed by the level of support he is receiving.


It now feels as if we are all working together as a team to offer my husband the very best support available and me respite, safe in the knowledge that he is being well cared for and happy.

Excellent care from 3 respite visits. Friendly helpful and flexible. Very pleased with the care and I'll be using the service again. Even moving my main care package over. I am the centre of the care which is how I feel it should be.

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 4.611 for Unique Homecare Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (13 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.611

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Unique Homecare Services Ltd is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
