Overall Experience3.0 out of 5
The care they provide was good, I think they lack communication/understanding, not listen to clients, but they are reasonable on timekeeping. The management/ staff are fair in some areas but need more understanding of people's needs and mental health.

Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Unique Options were recommended to us after a very bad experience with a different care provider and I have to say the difference in the quality of care, from the outset, was like night and day. They followed the agreed care plan and provided Mum with excellent care, keeping her safe and treating her
with respect and dignity, whilst still allowing her to retain her independence. They kept us fully informed of any concerns and went out of their way to provide the best level of care. When Mum was found on the ground outside, they stayed with her for 5 hours waiting for an ambulance to arrive and updated us constantly. They made a point of learning Mum's interests so that they could engage in meaningful conversations with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team at Unique Options for providing professional care in a way that felt more personal and caring.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
