  • The Great Care Company, Louth
The Great Care Company Lincolnshire is proud to provide high-quality homecare and support services that keep clients safe, cared for and happy in the comfort of their own home.

Their bespoke service is individual and personalised for all clients so they can ensure their caring, carefully selected and fully trained staff deliver service to the client’s preference.

They provide home visits from 1hour to 24hours a day so care never feels rushed whether it’s a friendly face to call by for a social visit or perhaps more complex support with personal care or dementia care they can help. Their extensive service portfolio also includes other of their popular services offering greater peace of mind such as Live-In or Night Care services.

At The Great Care Company, they take time to match carers to clients based on personality and interest. Once they have their personalised care plan finalised a meet and greet with staff happens prior to care services beginning so clients are comfortable and ready for their first visit to be delivered on time and from a friendly face.

Staff don’t wear uniforms but have a dress code with ID badges ensuring they do not bring unnecessary attention to clients. They believe this promotes comfortable positive relationships that help them achieve great outcomes for clients.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can really recommend The Great Care Company. All the carers are lovely and the staff at the office keep in touch with care times, who to expect and any changes. They complete regular reviews with us and ask for feedback. We are very happy with them and feel supported.
Reply from Care Consultant at The Great Care Company

It's really important to us that when supporting our clients, the whole family feels supported too. We're really pleased to read your comments and are grateful for you taking the time to leave them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I simply cannot find enough words to express how wonderful this company is in every aspect, from the initial introduction right through to having to sadly terminate the contract through no fault of theirs. I was so very sad and upset to have to part company with the carers and the fantastic care they
gave to my mother, who is now going into private nursing care.
I can only thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything you have all done. Do not hesitate to use this company. You will not be sorry.

All the staff are great. They always visit my Aunt on time and she loves them. I've been there many times in the past when the carers have arrived, always so friendly and happy to be there. My Aunty loves seeing them, she couldn't be without them now.

The Great Care Company can be relied upon and often go the extra mile for us. The staff and the management are really kind, and our mother loves all of the team.

again.

We have seen a huge difference in the care for our mother since The Great Care Company took over with her care. The carers that go to see her are fantastic and they do everything they can to support her. My mother's daily life has improved dramatically and we are very grateful for this. We love that
she is still at home as this is where she wants to be. We have the kind of care service that we have always wanted for our mother and it really does give us the peace of mind to know that she is being supported by such kind and caring people. Thank you to all at The Great Care Company.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I live a long way from my mother and I cannot praise the staff enough for their caring and professional approach. The peace of mind this gives me was enhanced when during a call mum was taken poorly. I was kept informed throughout, carer stayed with my mother and another even sorted care out for her
dog when she had to go into hospital. Would highly recommend this company.

We have been using The Great Care Company since its services began and our experience has been totally positive. They provide wonderful carers for my 91-year-old mother both am and pm. Mum is always elated to see them. The service they provide is exceptional and even if an issue arises after the carer
has gone, they will organise someone to return - usually within 15-30 mins. We are so grateful for all they do in their own inimitable, happy radiant style. Thank you all.

I'm really impressed to be honest. I would love to see my folks more but it's hard with me living away, so it is good to know that they have a professional company visiting them. Their communication is very good. Staff are always professional. They are very caring and very organised. I would happily
recommend them to anyone.

It's important that we're able to give you the peace of mind that your parents are well cared for, especially with you living so far away from them. We're really pleased that you're happy with the service we provide, we know our team enjoy the visits just as much as your parents do!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.944) out of 10 for The Great Care Company 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 4.944 for The Great Care Company is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.944
  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 The Great Care Company is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2018

Anne has dedicated more than 20 years to the care sector and has been our Registered Manager since we first opened in 2018. Her passion lies in making sure every client receives not only the highest standards of care but also the kindness, dignity and respect they deserve. Known for her caring nature and approachable style, Anne builds strong relationships with clients, families and staff, creating a supportive and welcoming environment for all.


A key part of Anne’s role has been leading our Extra Mile Scheme, which has delivered over 1,800 hours of free care and support to clients who needed that little bit more. This has included everything from being there in times of emergency to offering companionship, emotional support, and helping clients enjoy special moments that brighten their day. The scheme is all about going above and beyond the usual duty of care—whether that means organising small surprises, sharing homemade gifts, or simply spending extra time with someone who needs it. Under Anne’s guidance, the team has created countless memorable experiences that bring joy, comfort and reassurance to clients and their families.


Outside of work, Anne is a keen baker, enjoys bowling, and takes great pride in supporting her local community. She plays an active role in organising Armed Forces Day, reflecting her commitment not just to our clients, but to the wider community too. Her dedication, warmth and personal touch have made her an inspiring leader and a trusted figure for everyone who knows her.
