Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sova Healthcare Harrogate has looked after my dad for the past 2 years. They have been wonderful, Ddad is always treated with dignity and respect. He has mainly had the same carers so he could get to know them and they know his preferences. They have adopted the care as dad's condition has deteriorated.
I cannot recommend Sova enough.

My wife and I have always found the two carers who visit us very kind caring and professional. We have built up a positive relationship with them and they feel like part of the family. They look after my wife under difficult circumstances as we are waiting to have the bathroom renovated and adapted
to meet my wife’s needs. Many thanks.
Reply from Fozia Tabasum, Director at Sova Healthcare Harrogate

My Uncle has received care from Sova for over 2 years now and I have to say that the care is gold standard. From the office-based staff, when things need to be organised or changed, to the amazing carers that come every day; nothing is too much trouble for them. They've even sourced a television for
him when his broke.

Care staff are punctual, diligent and have a great rapport with my brother. Good communication between staff and me after every night shift. Excellent timely response from management when I need to have extra carer input for me to have a break.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over all everyone is lovely.
My friend has had concerns regarding her tablets. Some times they have been dropped and on one occasion been forgotten.
I think sometimes things are done i.e throwing things away that she doesn’t want throwing. I appreciate this may be for her benefit but a different approach
maybe more beneficial. I think the issue is with a clash of personality with one member of staff. She needs to feel she has control of her decisions even if they are insignificant to the staff.
Reply from Fozia Tabasum, Director at Sova Healthcare Harrogate

Thank you very much for your feedback, we try our very best to ensure the quality of care is maintained and relationships are continued in a caring manner. It is very difficult at times when health conditions deteriorate however we at SOVA will go above and beyond to help the people we support. Thank you.

Thank you to the entire team looking after Mum. You have transformed my mum's life for the better and have given me nothing but assurance since we moved to you. Kind and caring staff who go above and beyond for Mum. The manager has been amazing with going through the finer details, ensuring I have access
to the app, so I can check if Mum is ok.

We have been using Sova Healthcare Harrogate since June 2022. The carers are a lovely, friendly, supportive and understanding team who come in to look after Mum, but also check Dad is doing ok too. They provide personal care for Mum and also do various jobs around the home when needed. Each visit ends
with a cup of tea from my parents and a quick chat to check all is well. I would recommend them.

Mum has been supported over the last 18 months by a lovely team. Her mental and personal care has been kept on track by the compassion and support she has received. The friendly carers find time, whilst dealing with her personal care to chat, and even a little sing song with her is much appreciated
by Mum.

Review from Susan F (Cousin of Client) published on 14 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sova care has been looking after members of my family for 9-months now. I can not recommend them highly enough. They looked after my relation all through his illness, and he got his wish to pass away at home with dignity and respect. Living over two hundred miles away and not being able to get up, all
the time due to Covid, knowing the Sove care team were looking after him and his wife, took a lot of the stress out of it for myself and the rest of the family. After he died, the team have carried on looking after his wife; the carers are just that, caring, reliable and helpful in every way, nothing is to much trouble. My cousin looks forward to seeing them every day.
Reply from Fozia Tabasum, Director at Sova Healthcare Harrogate

Thank you Susan for your review of our service and most importantly about the care we have delivered. We endeavor to continue a high level of service for your loved one. Best wishes Fozia

I have been supported by Sova Healthcare since 2019. The staff are caring and go above and beyond. I enjoy my chats with them; the staff help with everything I need. The manager is caring and has helped with getting me sorted in my flat. The carers are kind and generous. I look forward to seeing them
and being able to live at home with their support. I highly recommend them.

I have to say I definitely would not recommend and have had to report a few issues to CQC.
Sova Healthcare will not be going back to care for my father.

I was saddened to read your recent review, which totally contradicts your continuous feedback over the past few years caring for your father.

The carers come in to look after my dad who’s on palliative care but they made sure my mum was ok even though they didn’t have to.
Lovely, friendly, caring staff that are happy to do what they can to make my dad's life that little bit easier. We are reassured that my dad is in good hands and is being
well looked after by the regular carers that visit multiple times a day. Couldn’t ask for any better service.

I am extremely happy with the care that I receive. They are so nice and very supportive, in all tasks they go above and beyond. I feel at ease when they are in my home which, in the beginning, was a concern for me as I am quite a shy person however I feel as though I have known the carers that come
for years. I would very genuinely recommend them to anyone who is in need of home care.

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 4.893 for Sova Healthcare Harrogate is calculated as follows: ( (25 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 28 Ratings = 4.893

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Sova Healthcare Harrogate is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
  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.

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2020

Hi, I'm Tracy, and I've been working alongside the Registered Manager, Fozia for just under 3 years. I manage the day-to-day running of the office and support our care team by being hands-on when needed.

I've been extremely lucky to have worked in the care industry for over 20 years in Harrogate. No day is the same, which is part of the 'excitement' that each day brings. I am currently working towards my Registered Manager's Qualification.


In my spare time, I love spending time looking after my grandchildren. I love to cook and share my creations with my family and colleagues at work. People would describe me as an approachable manager, with a kind and caring outlook.


I love to travel, especially to the Canary Islands, and I enjoy my long walks with my dog.
