Incredible service. Staff are all warm and kind but also very efficient. Management is excellent and attentive, my father is treated as an individual and always with great respect and dignity. I can't recommend them highly enough and am so grateful for their presence in Dad's life. He likes them and
trusts them and it's such a relief having such a consistent and supportive service. A weight off my mind knowing they are coming, both my parents look forward to their visits because their arrival always means positive and joyful company, as well as kind and professional support for my father.

I am very satisfied with the service I am getting from my present carer who is always willing to do jobs around my flat and garage in addition to looking after me whilst in the shower.

Amicus Homecare Ltd provided an early morning service from 7.45am for half an hour or 1 hour by agreement, One member of their staff helped me get out of bed, wash and dress. When time allowed we would turn out my bedroom chests to remove items that were out of date and no longer used, making room for
items that fit better. The different staff members came working on their own. All were punctual and cheerful, giving a good start to the day. and it was good to chat about the weather and the state of the shops, the government when I was in lockdown.

The carers were very polite and very caring with my brother in law even though he was a bit of a grump. They all looked after him so well and couldn't do enough for him. They always made time to sit and chat to him too even though they had a tight schedule.

The client due to age and lack of upper body strength needs assistance with bathing which is beyond the wife's strength and there is a fear of slipping. All the carers have been prompt on arrival time and have been careful to follow lockdown regulations. They follow a careful bathing routine and follow
the client's wishes. Overhead charges are reasonable. Paperwork is filled in after each visit.

Staff always arrive, no matter what the weather is doing. Whenever there is a need for a phone call, they always start by saying "nothing to worry about " which is always reassuring. Always very friendly. Good at communicating,

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Amicus Homecare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.885 for Amicus Homecare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 Amicus Homecare Ltd is based on 16 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.
