The staff engaged with Mum and quickly understood what was important to her. They were very dependable and supportive. My Mum is living on her own. The standard of care and support was outstanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Use of this service enabled me to recover safely in my own home. The carers were efficient, effective, caring and kind. Always time for laughter and chats with other walkers on our daily walks that were planned to increase my mobilisation. Household tasks were completed efficiently and to my total satisfaction.
A great service provided by lovely staff/carers.

They are very good and personal and I would highly recommend them as they are highly professional as well, and will go above and beyond what is expected of them. They will look after you in all ways, talking if that’s what’s needed as they are very good listeners as well as personal care and meals.
I would highly recommend them to anyone.

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 Home Instead (Isle of Wight) is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 95 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 Home Instead (Isle of Wight) is based on 16 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.
