Same Ways were always caring for my relative, sometimes in challenging circumstances. One criticism is that information did not flow from Same Ways to family members as well as I would have liked.

Most of the carers are very considerate and helpful and treat the client with dignity.
Naturally it is easier to relate to some carers but we are all different and generally we have a good relationship with them all.

The care Same Ways has provided for my Mum has been amazing. Not just what they do while they are here, but more they make the time to sit and chat with her. As a family, this has really helped us know Mum is being well cared for and that she will see someone for a chat every day, especially during
these difficult times. We have all noticed such a difference in her mental health as well as physical.

I have found the service provided by Same Ways Care Ltd to be excellent. The carers are always pleasant and keep excellent time. The admin staff are very flexible if a visit time needs to be changed so that the client can meet appointment times.

I receive visits weekly fro the company's carer with rare exceptions this is always the same carer who is, therefore, familiar with my needs. She is friendly, polite and not excessively formal. She does what I request and does not need reminding of my preferences. I am happy with the quality of the
service bearing in mind that my requirements are not elaborate or complicated.

The manager who runs this care company, along with her great team, is a very caring lady with a great deal of experience. My mother suffers with dementia and needs a lot of understanding. When Mum is having a bad day, the manager takes her out for lunch and this really helps with Mum's moods. A great
team of people.

Generally, the management always tries to comply with our needs and keeps improving its service. Despite all the improvement, they have made as a service there are some areas which could be improved. Staff timing, some staff could be friendlier. At the end, I would like to thank you for the service
that you provide us.

Due to an extended stay in hospital, Mum's care package lapsed and we needed to find a new company. We couldn't have been more fortunate in selecting Same Ways Care Ltd. The co-owner, on discovering that Mum was to return home the day after her birthday, arranged instead for her to leave hospital earlier
for which we'll always be grateful.


We have appreciated the care and attention provided by the Same Ways staff and have enjoyed in particular the continuity of staff coming to the house. Highly recommended.

Company owner very easy to talk to if I want to talk about any aspects of my care. They provide the same team of carers, which I like because together, can build up a greater understanding of my needs. There is a willingness to adapt if I need to make a change to my routine care, eg. I might need a
later visit, to enable me to go out for a day, making my return later than the usual visit time - flexibility is so important. Always happy to assist me if unwell, eg. calls for help or backup. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with Same Ways Care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.737)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.737) out of 10 for Same Ways Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.737 for Same Ways Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 76 Ratings = 4.737

  • 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 Same Ways Care Ltd is based on 12 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.
