I have had care from HRM Homecare Services - Central West for almost 7 years. My mobility has decreased and care required has increased. There must have been hundreds of carers who have come across my door, and I am always glad to see them. They meet my needs, and I am able to tell them what to do.

I am extremely happy and grateful for the service and care my mum receives. The staff are caring, helpful and often go above and beyond what is required of them in difficult circumstances. I have nothing but praise and admiration for them. The admin and management team are also very helpful and responsive.

Due to my leg being in a full cast I needed help with personal hygiene (washing, dressing etc). The girls who came to the house treated me with respect and dignity. They were very friendly and attentive towards me. They always made sure my needs were met. They always checked the door was locked and
returned the key to the key safe.

My experience has been extremely positive and I have found the carers and the staff in the office to be very patient with my Mother in law, who does not respond well to being told what to do. I do appreciate all the effort made to try and get her to wash and change. Although she does not comply with
the carers I think she appreciates the compassion.

Reply from Marion Elder, Business Support and Improvement at HRM Homecare Services - Central West

Thank you for your feedback, we all appreciated it and also thank you for your insight into our working environment. It is a pleasure to support your mother-in-law.

Timing not reliable. Never know when the carers are coming and I have said before, would be better knowing more reliable time within half an hour of the stated time, if it is possible, and the same staff. Thank you all.

The carers are fantastic, but the management sends them very late in the morning. The carers usually come at 11 am - 11.30 am. This is not satisfactory as my wife likes to sit outside in the good weather.

Reply from Sandra Auld, Ast. Service Manager at HRM Homecare Services - Central West

We are sorry that your preferred call time is not available at the moment. Our managers are aware of this and you have been placed on our Priority Waiting List. As soon as an earlier time slot becomes available, the manager will be in touch.

My husband always has great reviews. We put our concerns across, and they are always adhered to as we feel this is the only chance we get for things to be dealt with. Have complained about telephone communication and the telephone manner is outrageous. Brought it up again as something seriously has
to be done.

Reply from Suzette Lewis, Operations Manager at HRM Homecare Services - Central West

Suzette Lewis

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for HRM Homecare Services - Central West is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.641 for HRM Homecare Services - Central West is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.641

  • 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 HRM Homecare Services - Central West is based on 21 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • 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.
