Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Compassion Care Plus cared for my mum whilst I was on respite in July. I deliberately chose this organisation because many of their carers love Jesus as my mum does. This gave me peace and confidence as they cared for my mum professionally and did their best as their ultimate boss is God. They loved
and cared for mum brilliantly and I highly recommend this company.

Very impressed with all employees, they are very professional, friendly, kind, on-time and helpful. My mother-in-law has felt very comfortable with all her carers, and has total confidence in them. Management have been very helpful; communication with them has been easy and they've been available at
any time. We're very grateful for the ease in which care has been organised and carried out. It's been a difficult time for my mother in law, but having such a good care service supporting her, has made a positive difference. We're very grateful for the brilliant care given to my mother in law.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've been really delighted with the care provided for our daughter by Compassion Plus Healthcare. Our daughter has learning difficulties and lives in her own home. The ladies who have been supporting her are young, energetic, fun and extremely professional and competent. Our daughter liked them
immediately. They are very well trained and qualified. We have worked closely with them to explain her specific needs as she is non-verbal. The staff have listened carefully and quickly taken on board everything we have asked of them. They keep in close contact with me and ask questions if they are unsure, and they use their initiative too. I feel my daughter is in safe hands and extremely well cared for. And she has a great time and really enjoys their company. We simply could not ask for better support really. The carers are just fabulous.

Review from C J (Son of Client) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Compassion Plus Healthcare has taken care of my mother for a number of years on a three and four daily call basis.
From day one I found the Care to be outstanding, time was taken to get to know my Mother and her specific needs.
The staff were always kind and caring whilst ensuring the correct diet
and medication were taken and always helped to encourage Mum to interact socially where possible.
Communication with me was always good so I always knew of any needs or issues.
I was confident that if I was away Mum would be well looked after, it was important to have that peace of mind.
A job consistently well done over a number of years.
Many thanks to all the staff.

We have had your lovely carers for well over a year. They are all so kind and caring not just to my husband but to me also. They come in every morning with smiles and get straight on with caring for my husband. They talk to him with such kindness and always explain what they are doing to him. I couldn't
ask for anything more.
Thank you.

Cannot thank all the staff enough, my dad has been having them since August 2023. It was new for him but they have helped him to settle and took time to get to know him, and are helping him regain confidence and independence, he's very comfortable with them all they're like part of his family, he and
his family have peace of mind knowing if we need any help both carers and office staff are always willing to do what they can to help. Thank you all so much for everything on behalf of my Dad.

The team from Compassion Plus Healthcare are excellent. My husband has been treated with the utmost care. My husband has awkward moments but they are patient, kind and caring.

My dad has been cared for since just before Christmas 2022. It was all a bit of a rush but the care we have had from your carers is absolutely brilliant. There is always someone at the end of the phone. One young man, in particular, is absolutely amazing. He is so kind and caring. I feel like he is

Compassion Plus Healthcare is my first experience in private-sector care provision. I have found that they provide the services I have requested every day consistently. Their carers are friendly, caring, efficient and polite. They arrive on time every time. The management responded quickly to arrange
my care when public sector care was withdrawn at short notice. An excellent experience overall.

My son moved into a beautiful supported living house in March 2022. He has been unwell and was in hospital for 9 to 10 weeks prior to moving in. He has settled in so quickly and is doing so well! The staff are amazing, so dedicated, kind and do an impeccable job! I have never ever come across a care
company that looks after and supports my son so brilliantly. I am in awe of how well they look after my son! Finally, my son has got such amazing care! Thank you Compassion Plus from the bottom of my heart!

Reply from Liz Maposa, Registered Manager at Compassion Plus Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention. We take all feedback very seriously.
I am deeply sorry you feel this way and that you had a negative experience at the start of the service provision.
The senior managers have already met with you to discuss the experience you had. At the meeting you highlighted that you were very happy with the service provision, however you expressed that you had had a bad experience which resulted from one member of staff cancelling last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. You informed us that you were happy with how the issue was resolved and that your friend did not go without the care and support she needed. You informed us that you had based your review on your experience of that incident. You have now told us that your loved one is very delighted with the care team supporting her and that she is very happy. We were also delighted to hear that if you were to review us again, you would write a very positive review.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Compassion Plus had looked after my friend since last June and until she passed in February this year The service was incredible, the care was excellent, they were always so very kind and thoughtful. I always knew what was going on, if she needed a doctor, they would call me immediately. I could always
get someone on the phone as well with no problem at all. My friend looked forward to seeing them every day. They prepared her meals, washed the dishes and did anything that she asked. I had the app on my phone so I could see what was happening at all times, so if at any time I could not go in, I knew what she had eaten, that she had taken medication etc and all was well. All the staff were exceptional and so kind and you could see they really cared for my friend. You hear so many different stories about care companies but this company always went above and beyond. It made my life so much easier knowing the quality of care was there and especially that my friend loved them all as well.

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 4.955 for Compassion Plus Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (42 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 44 Ratings = 4.955

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Compassion Plus Healthcare is based on 8 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 = 4.8
