All the staff who visit my mother-in-law are wonderful. She is a difficult personality and they are unfailingly kind, considerate and understanding of her wants and needs. The office staff are also great, keeping us informed and always ready to accommodate any requests.

The caring staff are caring and friendly. They mainly stick to their schedule but when they deviate from it there are always good reasons for doing so and they generally warn us if they expect to be late. The office team are very efficient also and have a 'can do' attitude. Nothing is too much trouble.

Excellent. Friendly and efficient. Always happy to do the extra things such as do some exercises and get some breakfast. Easy to discuss and agree on how things are best done. Always friendly and easy to talk to.
When occasionally delayed I usually get a call on my mobile which is good. Only missed
this call once which was apparently down to no mobile signal which is a problem around here. Wasn't sure when the bill was going to arrive and 1 visit was cancelled but appeared on the bill. Otherwise excellent for everything.

After a few problems, things are starting to look up.
On the whole, for the time they are allocated, they do well.
My mother seems to get on with all careers that attend to her.
And they seem to know her likes and dislikes.

All the carers to date have been great, and the company has been responsive to questions and always helpful.
The biggest area where improvements can be made is being more consistent in the times carers visit.

One Day At A Time have been very supportive and reliable. They visited Mum as part of a rehabilitation programme until she was well enough to do bits on her own. The manager is very helpful and organised and the communication has been very good. The carers are kind and have regular slots for visits.
They try to ensure that similar ones visit frequently to ensure consistency. I would recommend them to others.

Mum receives three or four visits a day from regular carers. She says they are all nice. Carers keep me updated as needed especially for a minor concern. Carers provide care service as expected plus do extra jobs to make life easier for the family. Managers keep in touch and are obliging for any changes
to care visits needed. Mum always seems happy with the care she receives.

We contacted One Day At A Time further to a short hospital stay. We are very happy with the service provided, from the initial visit to establish Dad’s needs to the final care visit. We won’t hesitate to contact the service if needed in the future.

Dad receives four visits a day and is very happy with the care he has received. He has regular carers and has been able to build relationships with them so that each is an understanding of the other.
Dad has been reassured and comfortable at a time when he needs the support.

I haven’t had too much experience with the carers coming to see Mum, but I have seen them usually on a Saturday afternoon. They have been very friendly towards Mum and also to me. This has been set up to help Mum with certain things she’s finding difficult at 94 years old. However, she will not give
in and so far the carers have not had to do what they were employed for, but they have been there and Mum is getting used to them coming in, so eventually there will be a time when Mum accepts the help. We as a family are very grateful that you are coming in to see Mum twice a day and that it doesn’t seem to be an issue that what they are expecting to do is not what is happening at the moment. Thank you for helping, we are very happy with your company.

Couldn't ask for more in terms of the care provided for my mum - I feel confident leaving her care in their hands. A friendly team of carers and a responsive manager. When I have been there, they have been very patient in dealing with her and her hearing issues. We have had a few minor issues with communication
and it would be better if there was a greater range of hours for carer visits but otherwise, all as I would wish. Would certainly recommend it to others.

One Day At A Time have made such a difference to me. I have had direct payments for some time, but had been struggling to find someone who could meet my needs. The office team visited my home and took time to listen to what it was I needed. They then made some suggestions on how they could best meet
my need and it has been brilliant ever since. Most of the support I need is around home management and the team have learnt my home layout so quickly (with the aid of a few labels!). There have been some teething problems with what was required, but this has been swiftly resolved and having these ladies coming in has had a massive impact on me and my family.
I would recommend One Day At A Time regardless of what level of need you have.

The carer who has been visiting my Dad has been absolutely brilliant and is the carer my Dad felt most comfortable with whilst recouping after a hospital stay. The care company have been so accommodating allowing him to have this carer for every visit. She always went above and beyond and on one occasion
that I know of even attended my dad's morning care visit when it was her day off. Once finished she then continued with her day off. She always listened and if there was any time left after completing everything my dad needed help with she would have a chat with my Dad, she would often be the only face he saw all day so this was important to us. You could tell she genuinely cared and enjoys her job and was not just ticking boxes for the tasks she had carried out throughout the visit. She was also so patient with my dad who has found it very frustrating not being able to do simple, everyday tasks that he could do a couple of months ago.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.603 for One Day At A Time Home Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.603

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for One Day At A Time Home Care Ltd is based on 38 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
