I have only been receiving care since 30/05/23 inclusive and since that time I have been well satisfied. The carers have been courteous, punctual and have effectively taken care of my needs in the hourly period there spend with me each morning.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Kingsley Home Care - Waveney Valley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.887 for Kingsley Home Care - Waveney Valley is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 124 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 Kingsley Home Care - Waveney Valley is based on 21 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.

How long have you been in the care industry, and what led you to join Kingsley HomeCare?


I have been in the care industry for 13 years, with the majority of my time spent in domiciliary care. I joined Kingsley because it was a family-run business that looked after all their staff. They had great benefits and I wanted to work with a company in my local area to provide the best care to local clients.


What do you find most rewarding about working in-home care?


Being able to provide short-term, end-of-life care which allows a person to pass awareness peacefully at home rather than in a hospital setting.


What is your vision for the future of this branch and the services it provides?


My vision for the future is for the branch to be even more successful, doubling the amount of hours and eventually covering a wider area so we can provide care to more people, and get the Kingsley name out even further.


What are your hobbies and passions outside of Kingsley?


I enjoy knitting and crochet, or just about anything crafty.

How long have you been in the care industry, and what led you to join Kingsley HomeCare?


I joined Kingsley Healthcare as a data analyst in 2020 as part of the finance team shortly after graduating from University in Economics. I've always been interested in healthcare as well as finance, so a role involving the two really interested me. I have since been involved in a new project on the Healthcare side and joined the Kingsley Home Care team to help develop and grow the business to cover more locations and help as many people as we can live safely and comfortably in the comfort of their own homes.


What do you find most rewarding about working in-home care?


I'm really proud of the exceptional level of care our carers give - it fills me with immense pride.


What is your vision for the future of this branch and the services it provides?


My vision is that we eventually become the leading provider of home care in the UK


What are your hobbies and passions outside of Kingsley?


I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with my girlfriend, being outside and watching films & reading.
