Review from Cheryl S (Daughter of Client) published on 5 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We use BooCare's Companionship Service and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Mum, who is now almost 100 years old came to live with us last year when she could no longer look after herself.
I am happy to care for her, but with this responsibility comes difficulties; my husband and I can pursue our
activities and interests independently (leaving one of us at home to look after mum), but going out together has been impossible.
Then I was recently recommended to BooCare by a friend and we are now able to go out for meals and spend time together knowing that mum is safe, happy and in good hands; (mum also loves having someone new to natter to). Five star, fantastic service, thank you so much. BooCare

We utilised BooCare to look after other our elderly mother after she had an accident and subsequent surgery. The staff at BooCare from initial consultation through to the visiting carers were excellent. Our mother enjoyed their company and benefited from the care and support that they provided, which
enabled her to recover at home.
We are confident that when needed BooCare are able to provide the support that will enable our mother to continue living an independent life in her own home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
BooCare have been providing domestic carers twice a week for my mother who is nearly 90 years old, lives on her own and is severely impaired. Their Initial assessment was friendly and thorough and the 3 carers who have visited have been very helpful, caring, approachable and punctual. They understand
that she needs some practical help but also the importance of a friendly visitor she can chat to. BooCare communicate well and I can cancel or rearrange a visit if I need to. My mother is building valuable relationships with her small team of carers and I have no doubt that when the time comes and my mum needs more care BooCare will be there for us.

Review from Jayne O (Daughter of Client) published on 28 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are so kind and friendly with my Mum, I would be lost without their care as I live so far away. Mum clearly enjoys their company and chats with them despite the effects of the stroke on her speech and language. I am able to contact the office with any changes to Mum's care from her GP and
if I need to remind Mum of any changes to her diary. Mum has had two strokes one of which has affected her short term memory so she constantly needs reminding of visits, dates, etc. It is such a relief for me that the carers visit twice a day to check on her so I know Mum is doing okay and if there is an issue they will contact me straightaway. I would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to have a loved one looked after in a caring and kind manner.

Thank you for your lovely review. The ladies love going to visit mum and they will be thrilled to read your review and know how happy you are.

Boocare provide a reliable, safe, professional and friendly service. My mother is housebound and has a number of medical challenges including dementia. Boocare are excellent. When there are emergencies they are calm, organised and very supportive. They ensure my mother is safe and comfortable.
They are always there for my many and varied queries, and respond patiently and are extremely helpful. A trusted and caring group of professionals.

Following a recent stay in hospital nothing is too much trouble, their support has been a great asset. I am always able to speak management to update any changes to medication etc. The app gives me great peace of mind as I don't live close enough to my Mother to pop in everyday. It alerts me to anything
that Mum might need along with being able to keep a check on her general wellbeing. All of the staff treat Mum with dignity and respect and she enjoys their visits. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Thanks so much for your amazing review and so pleased to hear that the support is there when you need it. We will feed back to the care team so they know how you feel about their care and our service.

BooCare has helped me for two months, initially morning and evening but more recently, just mornings. All the staff arrive on time, were very helpful and caring and a joy to talk to and importantly, had lovely senses of humour. If anyone asked, I would have no hesitation in recommending BooCare. I feel
they have sped up my recovery.

Following the first meeting with BooCare, I felt my care needs were fully understood and an appropriate care plan was put in place.
I have found all carers to be respectful, reliable, with good timekeeping. All carers carried out their tasks to a high standard.
I would have no hesitation in recommending
BooCare for all care needs in the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care package was set up by my son with the help of the owner while I was in hospital with a broken shoulder and cracked hip. Her guidance was excellent. Initially, I had a carer early morning and evening until I was able to use my arm and then I just had morning care to assist with showering, dressing,
and kitchen and laundry.
All the staff were like family, friendly, and very helpful, and got my confidence back after my accident.
My son agrees with me, an excellent company, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Boocare recruits carefully and then supports and trains their staff well. They are careful to limit their overall workload. The ladies that visited my mother helped with personal care, cooked and served meals and carried out other domestic tasks. They were cheerful, helpful, caring and practical. As
a daughter, I was reassured that my mother was in good hands. We were both thrilled with their carol singers too!

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 4.930 for BooCare is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 100 Ratings = 4.93
  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 BooCare is based on 17 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.
