The service provided by Certified Care has been excellent. Being the first experience of care for my elderly Dad, he is now settled and happy in his new routine. He enjoys the company and camaraderie with Loveland, and the gentle care and attention given by Sita, overall a great mix of personalities
works really well for Dad, as he enjoys the company as well as the services given by the team. I have been very happy with the approachability of managers Charles and Sophia, who go above and beyond to ensure my Dad has a good experience. I find the portal easy to access and the telephone reminders when Dad runs out of something are appreciated too. I would highly recommend Certified Care as a provider of care for elderly and isolated people.

I have had Careers for my mum for a few months now, for domestic, personal and medication. Mum has settled well into the routine of the ladies visiting her. Having the same two careers on a regular basis is so much better , continuity of care is very important to us. They respect my mum's property and
leave it tidy when leaving.
Careers are always friendly and kind to my mum when visiting , mum enjoys when they arrive. They always do what's on the care plan for mum,and having a handover online to read daily keeps everyone informed.

We are so grateful for your feedback and are delighted that our carers' friendliness and kindness make the visits so enjoyable for your mum. Thank you.

I would like to say a very big thank you to the team , Bha and Sophia, who looked after my Mother whilst I was on holiday. My mother sang their praises and despite initially opposed to care very much looked forward to their visits.
The initial interview was
thorough taking information from me and a second asking my Mum what care she felt she needed. Making her feel in control and respected.
My mother reported the visits were punctual and did not feel hurried and all her needs met. They treated her with dignity and respect and kindness. They went over and beyond their expectations and much to her delight bought her a beautiful orchid for her birthday.
I would thoroughly recommend this care service and will use for future care. Thank you for your caring

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care given to my 89 year old father is excellent. I particularly like that there are only three carers who regularly visit so that my dad has become used to seeing the same people. The carers complete the daily log so I can check on the phone app what he has eaten and that he has had his medication.
Changing
regular scheduled care visits or adding an additiional one if needed has been easy which gives me flexibility if I cannot be there.
I am very happy with the service prvided and would recommended Certified Carers to anyone who needs care for an elderly parent with dementia.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are absolutely delighted with the exceptional care the carer from Certified Carers provided to our 80-year-old dad. Her kindness, respect, and gentle approach made a huge difference in his life. Despite initial reservations about having a carer, she warm and caring nature quickly put everyone at
ease.
The carers attention to detail and prioritisation of safety were paramount, giving us peace of mind while she was caring for our dad. Her cooking skills were impressive, and the meals she prepared were not only nutritious but also delicious. The cleanliness and organisation of our dad's living space were always impeccable.
What truly stood out was her ability to build a rapport with our dad, understanding his needs and preferences. Her happy and positive demeanor was contagious, and our dad enjoyed her company.
We are extremely grateful for her care and would highly recommend Certified Carers to anyone in need of compassionate and professional care services. We will be definitely using their services again in the future, when needed.

Mum's carers were kind and considerate and trustworthy.
Always ready to help her whatever her needs always careful of her dignity.
Gave medications and pain relief as prescribed and foresaw problems and advised the family when necessary.
Tried to tempt her to eat and to provide suitable nourishment
as often as possible.
Worked well with other health care visitors.
Mum's carers became friends.

I have found this to be the most helpful and kind agency I have dealt with. The manager and his team dealt with my father's issues and queries quickly and professionally. My father was not at all receptive to having care, but the team were extremely patient and attentive and listened to his wishes while
trying to coax some cooperation out of him. His carer was excellent when we were trying to persuade my father to even have some care, and the other two carers were gentle and kind to him when he was quite dismissive of them. I highly recommend this company for your care needs especially with the most difficult of clients. Thank you all.

The opportunity to relate my review to more than one month is not available, but the high standard of care has been over several months. Any carer that I have met when visiting my sister has been kind and respectful towards her. On feeding, they are giving her time to eat or drink without any pressure.
The patience shown is so good to see, which enables my sister to eat or drink in a relaxed way. The time taken to give a meal can be anything between one and two hours. On personal care, gentleness is always given causing less stress than there can possibly be. I would recommend this company for daycare to anyone.

The carer arrived promptly (early in fact) and reported back when I returned.
He dealt with a situation that had not happened before in that my husband wanted to check the car. My husband was not at all upset that I had gone out.
This was the first time I had used carers to be with my husband whilst
I was out for a few hours. As it was such a positive experience I feel confident to be able to arrange future care and leave my husband in the care.

My mum had a fall in September and was taken to hospital where she spent three weeks recovering from hip surgery. Unfortunately I had a prearranged trip booked to Canada and was out of the country when Mum was discharged from the hospital in mid October. I contacted this company where staff arranged
absolutely everything for us. Mum didn't feel safe being alone at home the first few nights after being discharged, so we arranged for a carer to just stay overnight for three nights. Mum said the lovely lady who came early evening and left in the morning was 'A Godsend'!
Thank you so much for the amazing service you supplied so speedily! Those who assisted Mum showed kindness, understanding, patience and support. Hopefully, we will not need your services again for quite some time as Mum is recovering extremely well, but if we do, we will not hesitate to contact you. First class/Five star service!


Once again, thank you so much!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Certified Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.853 for Certified Care is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.853
  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 Certified Care is based on 20 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.

Having worked in the ambulance service, care homes and domiciliary care, it's not a secret that I LOVE caring for people and making a positive difference in the community.


Meeting people, especially in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable gives me the opportunity to build a positive working relationship. I have been told I have an “infectious personality”, which I believe has helped to quickly develop therapeutic relationships and trust with the clients I’ve worked with.
