Review from Nic G (Son of Client) published on 14 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After several stays in hospital because of numerous health conditions, we decided that Mum needed help with care in her own home to enable her to maintain a level of independence and stay safe. Mum wasn't keen on the idea at first, but then we found the Mercury Care Team. We've been so impressed by
how they go out of their way to spend time with Mum, making her feel cared for and looked after. Mum sees her careers as "her girls" and really looks forward to seeing them every day.
They are a diligent and friendly team and would recommend their services most highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a short stay in hosptial, Mercury Healthcare took on the task of caring for my mother, morning and evening. We had an initial meeting to confirm requirements before mum returned home and this was updated as mum's condition deteriorated.
The staff were polite and friendly and helped my dad
to cope with the new position he found himself in. Mum passed away 12 days later but even then, they have offered support. Many thanks Mercury.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Mercury Healthcare Limited is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 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 Mercury Healthcare Limited is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  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.
