Submitting for my Mum who has dementia. I would like to say how thankful I am to all at Alcedo, who made my Mum feel valued and special.

The girls are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. Through covid, they nipped to the shops and chemist so that my friend had everything he needed. Most of all they were his company and companions. I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great communication, flawless care experience. The carer was polite, pleasant, punctual, and attentive. Would use again and recommend to others.
The only very minor negative is that Alcedo are slightly more expensive than other agencies I’ve used, but they’re certainly much better at communicating
than other agencies!

I’m getting very good care for my son who is on the autism spectrum. Carers take care of him and teach him manners and new skills each day which is commendable. Keep up the good work please!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Alcedo Care Wigan is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.700 for Alcedo Care Wigan is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.7
  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 Alcedo Care Wigan is based on 9 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 = 4.9
  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.
