Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very satisfied with the care we get from Caring Connections. All the carers are very nice, and do a good job of caring for Valerie. They are also quite flexible when we have appointments which clash with their visit times, and are happy to adjust them, for example, making the lunchtime visit
earlier if we are going out for the afternoon. They are very good at using the hoisting equipment to move Valerie around.

Review from Jane G (Mother of Client) published on 31 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Caring Connections have provided care for my son for a number of years now. My son thoroughly looks forward to seeing them and he has formed a marvellous friendship with a small number of the staff. He looks upon them as his best friends and relies on them to brighten his day. He cares about them as
much as they care about him. This bond they have formed is very special and one that cannot be broken. Staff are very caring and understanding about his needs. Whenever possible staff go out of their way to help him and provide a high level of service for him. Whenever asked to do something staff do it without question. The service that the office staff provide is also very good. If ever I need a call time changing or need assistance with something they are always willing to help. Thank you for taking good care of my son.

Staff were reliable. Always treated with dignity. Polite and professional and ensured a personally tailored service was given. Staff are honest and trustworthy. The personal security of my mum and her possessions were never in doubt. Thank you.

Review from C G (Niece of Client) published on 21 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Care in general is very good and the carers themselves are very nice with some giving exceptional care. Some concerns over carers not sticking to the timetable and coming exceptionally early for the evening calls. Some concerns (reported to the office) about carers entering the premises when the client
is not at home, even though this had been reported to the on-call number.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.250)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.250) out of 10 for Caring Connections is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Caring Connections is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 22 Ratings = 5
  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 Caring Connections is based on 4 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 4.25
  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.
