Review from Sharon J (Daughter of Client) published on 22 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister and I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the dedicated 24/7 care shown to our mother by the wonderful carers at Appleby Care.


Their genuine care made the final 2 months of her life as comfortable as it could be. The respect and dignity they showed her was just like they

were caring for their own mother and their attention to her needs (including all the little things like brushing her hair and teeth) was remarkable.


With their kindness and patience the carers were still able to understand her needs despite Mum having lost most of her ability to speak.


They were a joy to have around and even supported my sister and I when our father passed away in October.


We will always be so grateful for everything that they did for our mother and couldn't have wished for better end of life carers.


We would highly recommend them to anyone whose family needs the dedicated care provided by these wonderful carers.

Reply from Ellen Machekanyanga, Registered Manager at Appleby CareThank you. We receive the compliment wholeheartedly and pleased that this may support us to help more people who may need such a unique and compassionate care service we always work hard to give loved ones and family. We are very grateful to be reviewed and recognised.

My wife has had a major heart operation and was in hospital from the end of January until 5 August. Appleby care came in up to 4 times a day to start with. This was reduced to 2 visits when we became self funding. Tha care and love shown to my wife has been wonderful.
We have 3 different carers who
all take looking after my wife's personal care, and wellbeing and encouragement to get better and more active had been 1st class .
Thank you

Appleby Care visit my mother twice daily to help with medication, preparing food and personal hygiene. They ring or text with any concerns they have which is so helpful. I feel able to contact them if I want them to check anything. I feel happy knowing she isn't so isolated and has a chat with someone
twice a day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff of Appleby Care went above and beyond on many occasions for us on behalf of my dad and in turn my mum. All of the carers who came were patient, competent, friendly and respectful and Prosper the main carer was brilliant getting dad to do his twice daily rehab exercises to help with his mobility.

Kind, considerate and caring with a truly professional attitude in all that they did for my father. There was no slapdash rushing off as soon as possible, visits showed what quality care is all about.
Many thanks to a fantastic quality, caring team at Appleby Care.

Appleby has been nothing short of amazing in supporting my mum's care. Since her dementia and Alzheimer's diagnosis, things have been challenging, and we wouldn't have been able to navigate her care without their exceptional support.
They consistently keep us updated on their visits and ensure we are
well informed about Mum's well-being. They truly go above and beyond-attending meetings with local authorities to advocate for the care she needs. The team are an absolute Godsend, and we couldn't manage Mum's care effectively without them!
Reply from Ellen Machekanyanga, Registered Manager at Appleby CareAppleby Care is so heartened with this review in acknowledgment of the high quality compassionate and unique support and care it provides to its client. Thank you.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.935 for Appleby Care is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.935
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Appleby Care 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 4.65
  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.
