Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
One Day at a Time was incredibly helpful in arranging care at short notice after Mum had a fall. In fact, they were the only agency in the area that offered to review their schedules to find carers, most just said there was no one available. All the carers were cheerful and helpful and treated Mum
with compassion and dignity. They provided as much support as necessary while encouraging her to regain confidence and the ability to look after herself again. The agency was flexible in rearranging carers to fit around hospital appointments etc. We had no complaints whatsoever and were very grateful for the support the carers gave. Thank you, team, for all your help looking after my mum.

One Day at a Time have been helping me for about 18 months since becoming mostly bed-bound with mobility and other issues. They come every Monday for a longer visit when I can get a shower and Wednesday/Friday for shorter visits for a good wash and change of clothes. My son takes care of me and my disabled
daughter the rest of the time but I really appreciate my care visits. It's a chance to have a chat and sometimes a laugh with a different person. All of the carers that have been here are very polite, respectful and have a good sense of humour. I can honestly say that some of the carers have become good friends. I am more than satisfied with the service and would have no hesitation in recommending One Day at a Time to anyone.

My husband has been receiving care from One Day At A Time Home Care since August 2022. I am very pleased with the quality of the care given to him. All carers are kind and cheerful. They have always offered top quality care to my husband and always greet him with a big smile. The carers are friendly,
competent and polite. They meet his needs with aptitude and understanding. He looks forward to seeing them. Thank you very much for all your help.

I have had One Day At A Time Home Care Ltd carers twice a day for six weeks and would thank each and every one of them for their efficient and friendly care. I look forward to their visit and don't mind which lady arrives as they are all very cheerful and always ready to help with any little problem.
Above all, I have appreciated they have allowed me to keep my dignity at all times. Thank you for all your help.

Very satisfied with all aspects of care, only criticism is delay in knowing how much I have to pay, not having a breakdown of the invoice and not knowing whether its the councils fault or the firms fault. Still haven't had an invoice from March onwards.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.613 for One Day At A Time Home Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.613
  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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for One Day At A Time Home Care Ltd is based on 27 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.
