Review from Mary S (Client) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Like most people, it took me some time to admit that, after my discharge from hospital, I would need homecare, until I could get more independent, having been disabled since birth I valued my independence!
I needn’t have worried. Over time we have established a routine which suits us all. They have
become part of our extended family and bring a breath of fresh air when they visit.
The carers are very thoughtful and we have a bit of fun. They also do little jobs for my disabled husband.
The carers do all they can to get to me at the correct time but sometimes the rotas are difficult for them to keep to time.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has received a very good level of care, with all staff being caring and attentive. There have been some issues with staff consistency however the team have always ensured they have explored as many options as possible to avoid disruption to us as a family. We have been supported by a fair few
agencies over the years but Alcedo have been the best by far and I feel extremely confident in their capabilities to give my son the care he deserves.

Review from Tracy C (Daughter of Client) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Until recently, my mum has always been very independent and was very reluctant to even consider the thought of having carers come into her home!
Any concerns were washed away following an initial consultation with the lovely staff member that came out
to see my mum.
This was followed by the most warm-natured and very considerate staff that went above and beyond to assist my mum and her individual needs.
In my mum's words, "They're like family members".
Having the reassurance of knowing my mum was taken care of in this manner meant that my family and I could continue to work with peace of mind, huge thanks to Alcedo Care.
Reply from Rosie Caunt, Operations Manager at Alcedo Care Blackpool

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are delighted to help support your mum to feel relaxed and comfortable in our care.
Kind regards, Rosie and the team at Blackpool.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alcedo provides care to my 96-year-old father, who lives on his own. We have a detailed care plan in place and I can check that his needs have been met. As his needs evolve, the management are flexible and innovative in providing and increasing his support. The mechanics of the support management are
excellent. Fundamentally, care depends on the quality of carers. The team supporting my father have to know him and their care for him is exemplary. He is treated with dignity and provided with love. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Alcedo Care Blackpool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.880 for Alcedo Care Blackpool is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.88
  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 Alcedo Care Blackpool is based on 20 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
  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.

Andrea

Andrea Woodruff

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2022

I'm Andrea, the Area Manager for Alcedo in Lancaster and Blackpool, with over 10 years of experience in all aspects of care. I started with Alcedo in December 2022 as a Coordinator for the agency side of the business, progressed to Care Manager in Blackpool, and now proudly oversee both areas in my current role.


Originally from Gibraltar, I began my career in care working in a children’s home, supporting families through a 12-week programme designed to help parents reunite with their children. After moving to the UK in 2015, I spent some time in insurance management before returning to care following maternity leave, and I haven’t looked back since.


I’ve truly found my niche in this sector. I love what I do and feel privileged to work with such a committed and compassionate team. Our clients and staff are at the heart of everything we do, and I’m passionate about maintaining the high standards Alcedo is known for.


When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me enjoying days out with my husband and our three children, or relaxing with a good Netflix series.

Michaela

Michaela Allen

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2019

My name is Michaela and I’m the Deputy Manager for Alcedo Care Blackpool.


This is an industry that is new to me but I felt right at home as soon as I began my work out in the community.


I love to help people and love listening to people's stories and tales of their lives.


I began to think about my future development and looked into becoming an ambassador for my area but then I got an opportunity to join the fantastic office team and become a care coordinator so that I can continue to help and assist with clients' care packages and needs from behind the scenes.


My new role has me facing a lot of challenges daily but I have a lot of support and help from everyone in the office so that we can overcome obstacles as a team.


I have since been promoted to deputy manager and I am so proud to be a part of the management team.


My animals mean the world to me and they always manage to comfort me when I need it. I love to travel and always look forward to my next break away whether it is UK or international.
