Very satisfied with the care provided. She looks forward to care visits and relies on their visits, hence them keeping her in her own property. Very happy. We live far away and we’re grateful for the support you provide. Many thanks.

My carers are like family, I feel safe, respected and well cared for at all times, as a disabled lady living at home on her own, I couldn't have my independence without my carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carers produce excellent work for the care of my wife, who has been bedridden since September of last year; they perform the care excellently. I can not fault the work that they do; they are very friendly and professional with the work that they do. They do everything that I could not do while she
is in bed.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.425 for Fuchsia Homecare Colchester is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 87 Ratings = 4.425
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Fuchsia Homecare Colchester is based on 13 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4.825
  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.
