I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care my mum receives from Local Homecare. The moment the care staff arrived they showed a level of warmth and professionalism that immediately put us at ease. The attention to detail and genuine concern for her well-being was evident in everything they
did. The management team provided exceptional support, ensuring everything ran smoothly and always put the well-being of my mum above eveything with professionalism and care.

My mum really enjoys the cleaner. We have her every month and she does an excellent service we love her.
The only thing I would say is that I now come in to book her for the next month, as in the past we have rung to book the appointment but they have either not been booked or missed entirely. This
has really upset my mum so now I come in to book the service.

Review from John M (Son of Client) published on 25 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Some fantastic carers! It's just a shame the fantastic care received by individual carers gets often overshadowed by management's very obvious lack of experience leaving a cancer patient who also suffers with various other disabilities, vulnerable and abandoned.
The professional incompetence of the
"office" lead to their being no care or inconsistent care on several occasions and when we attempted to hold them to account they responded by making up lies of being threatened and excuses instead of taking responsibility ultimately making the ultimate cop out by terminating their woefully inadequate service.
For the second and final time we have forwarded our experience to CQC whose current rating of "requires improvement" won't be changing any time soon. Fortunately for us we had the foresight to record all calls, save all emails and these have been forwarded too.
I wish anybody using their woefully inadequate service the very best of luck. They're going to need it.

Local Homecare answered my call late on a Friday when no one else did. I needed to put some emergency care in place. They were round the next day to set up. The person who took the calls was beyond kind. I called many times and she was so patient and supportive.
The manager was thorough and reassuring.
She gave us all kinds of ideas on how to make life easier. She went above and beyond by putting us in touch with the local neighbourhood team.
All the members of staff who visited were cheerful and professional. I would highly recommend this provider.

All the carers have gone above and beyond in recent weeks to help my father cope with his many ongoing health problems and my mother who has worsening dementia, giving the rest of the family much needed peace of mind. They have always been treated with dignity and respect. Sadly my father has just
passed away and my mother is now in a care home, but having the right care at home has allowed my parents to stay at home together for as long as possible

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.585)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.585) out of 10 for Local Homecare Leeds is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.585 for Local Homecare Leeds is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 65 Ratings = 4.585
  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 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 Local Homecare Leeds is based on 10 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.
