A caring person and the same person everyday ant the same time. Unless I or cover change time. Willing to do anything always cheery and feels like a friend. My care is temporary post foot surgery but the care has been invaluable. Very pleased and would recommend them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very pleased with the service I have received. The manager has always been very helpful and considerate in our wishes, took her time with us in the beginning. Our carer is wonderful, Dad really likes her which is what is needed as he has dementia and cancer of the pelvis, problems with his
feet. She is always cheerful and chatty very supportive to me as well as Dad. Treats Dad with dignity. All in all a lovely person.

They are accommodating, happy to help, happy to adapt services to suit.


One carer in particular, looks after my mum likes she's her own mother and her care gives the family a lot of relief.


I can recommend them whole heartedly.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.837)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.837) out of 10 for Walfinch Oxfordshire is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.837 for Walfinch Oxfordshire is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.837
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Walfinch Oxfordshire is based on 24 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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.
