The carers that have been helping out my grandmother in Barnet have been highly useful and friendly individuals. The day-to-day care has been great. I think that there is potentially room for improvement on the management side of things, ie. took about a month before we had a contract saying what was
actually expected. Such things are by the by though, when in comparison with the attention shown by the majority of the carers that I have dealt with.

My brother's lead carer has shown intelligence and conscientiousness alongside care in fulfilling my brother's needs. She has dealt with medical and domestic needs efficiently and liaises with other members of the family when appropriate.

I am very happy with my care, all the carers treat me with dignity. The only problem is with my son who moans about the slight things, I have no problems with my carers. Keep up the good work.

All seems to be working as it should be at present, a regular pattern of visits has been established and visiting times seem to be now more consistent.
Always polite and has a smile on their face and at times when I have met always have a chat, can relate to my mother well.
It would be appreciated
if fair warning could be given as to when items are running how rather than being told that we have run out, general comment.
Medication is given correctly.

My mum's regular carer from Nwando Care is brilliant. She's attentive and understanding of my mum's needs. She's polite and friendly and interacts with my mum who has dementia. The carer is reactive to my mum's needs and is flexible with activities.
We are still trying to find a second/cover carer
with the same attitude and approach as her regular carer.
The office are friendly and approachable.
We'd prefer the rota to be updated more than a week in advance but we understand the challenges with managing many rotas.

Overall Nwando Care has the potential to be a great care provider. It is run by good management who have a caring attitude towards the client and family. What lets them down is their staff's casualness towards good punctuality. It needs to be taken more seriously to deliver the professional service
the client deserves. On the contrary, they have some staff whose delivery of calls is very good and their punctuality is excellent. It is a handful bringing the agency down with consistent lateness.

The office staff are very good, they are always extremely helpful. My carer has told me she works 7 days a week and can be tired with her help with me. She needs at least one day of rest in the week to give her the energy to cope with caring for others. I would like her to dry my hair with a hairdryer
especially in the winter months rather than just using a towel. Apart from that we get on well.

My husband has had wonderful care and support from Nwando Domiciliary Care. They are kind and efficient and nearly always cheerful in nature, which is a great pleasure to us. A few times the arrival here is too late in the morning and evening, but usually this has an explanation, but everything else
is good.

I find that the care coordinator who I called last Monday 19 December, requesting some local cleaning services of my flat, (this was made aware to me 2 months ago by the care coordinator, unfortunately, the cleaners were on holidays). I then got a text from the care coordinator on Thursday December
15th, saying that the cleaning ladies were back from holidays. I then called the care coordinator on the 19th Dec, saying that I am going to make a complaint because she still had not arranged for the cleaning of my flat. She then called me back on the 19th December, saying that she will get back to me the following day, Tuesday, with dates and times for the cleaning/cleaners. Today is the 29th December and I have not and don't think that I will hear from the care coordinator until the New Year.
I have made Nandos Care aware that if I don't hear from the care coordinator today, I will be making a second complaint against the care coordinator for failing to contact, or get in touch with me regarding the cleaning of my flat. The care coordinator said I should call her, if I have questions.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.524) out of 10 for Nwando Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.524 for Nwando Care is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 4.524

  • b) 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 Nwando Care 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
