Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We used Golden Services for over 10 years in support of both our parents in various types and depth of needs.
There was never any real issue with the care provided upon which we relied for so long. The team are all really helpful, attentive, and alert to any changes which helped settle our minds and
not have to worry about our parents care.

If I say that I look forward to the visits from my carers will give you a good idea of how I feel. They are friendly but also professional and efficient. I am always pleased when I can do things for myself (they make me feel sae). I have never felt that I am losing my dignity. I know that it can't be
helped, you have many people to visit but as I am frequently up between 6.30-7.30 it ins't easy to wait until sometimes 10.00 especially as the mornings are getting lighter!

Great care provided by all carers attending my stepdad.
If we needed to change anything the carers were always at the end of the phone and would help if they could.
Any issues were delt with straight away.

All the carers who visit me are well-trained, friendly and supportive. I enjoy their company, especially as they are the only people I see all day. They also assist me with light chores, and occasionally accompany me on visits to the surgery and the shops.

Review from Mark W (Son of Client) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has recently turned 90 and needs some help with cleaning on a weekly basis.
We both felt that arranging this through a care agency such as yourselves, though slightly expensive for just "cleaning" would be worthwhile.
Fortunately, my mother does not require anything like regular full care
but it is a massive reassurance to her to know that she will always receive an age-appropriate, sympathetic and friendly response to her needs whenever she needs to contact your office.
Rather than having to rely on one "cleaner" who may move, be on holiday even unreliable, disorganised - or unsuitable to meet a need beyond just literally "cleaning". As my mother's needs have very gradually increased over the last year, so have your services responded accordingly.
And she has been provided with pleasant and often outstanding attention from the carers assigned to cleaning and general help.

Many thanks for your review. I am happy it is working out for your mum. I know that our carers like spending time with her.

Most are fine but I don't like having my evening meal at 4.15 pm, can you please stop doing it by putting 5 pm to 6 pm etc on my sheet and changing on the carer's phone. Overall, I am satisfied with Golden Services Care.

Review from Adrian V (Son of Client) published on 6 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When rating any care provider the principle measure should be on the standard of care provided, with Golden Services we have always had an excellent professional level of service. They are able to quickly adapt to changing circumstances and the daily changes in the condition/feelings of my mother and
in both cases, they have adapted quickly and with no reduction in service levels. Excellent communications, easily contactable at any time and support from the backroom team has made our experience difficult to beat.

This is the first time I have had to experience care from a care home. When I arrived home on October 4th 2022 at lunchtime, from then on for four and a half weeks I had early morning-lunch time calls. I found the service excellent. Staff, management and value for money are very good.

I enquired about care for my mother in July 2020 as I was unable to continue looking after her due to poor health, I initially was going to shop around but I immediately got a sense of professionalism, no hard sell at all, just a willingness to help.
I immediately took Golden Services Care up on their
offer to visit my mother to carry out an assessment all in 24 hours.
Following on from their visit, care was put in place within 3 days.
All of the staff are friendly and kind, they do an incredible job.
Thank you so much.

Very good, friendly visits from the majority of carers, however, I have one particular carer that comes and seems to bring her personal issues to work. 9 times out of 10 she is very nice, but if she has had a "bad day" you can tell by her snappy and "stand-offish" attitude.

We are extremely pleased with Golden Services and their staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the carers. They arrive on time with a smile and a chat. We have been having Golden Services for over a year now and have nothing but praise for the carers and management and the support they have given to
my wife.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.897 for Golden Services Care is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 29 Ratings = 4.897
  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, 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 Golden Services Care is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
  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.
