Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My wife and I have had various care companies in the past with very mixed results, the companies always eventually letting us down. Helping Hands have been truly a breath of fresh air. Our trust in companies has been completely destroyed in the past but I can honestly say I now have 100% trust regained,
no mean feat and and absolute credit to The manager and the team she has put in. They are on a completely different level to other companies, through from management to care. My son is a very happy boy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My 101-year-old mother has a lunchtime visit, Monday to Friday, to serve lunch and check she's ok. All carers are friendly, professional and willing to do any extra job that's needed. My mother looks forward to the daily visit as it gives her another face to see during the day. Helping Hands has been
a real pleasure to have coming to see her.

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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Helping Hands Home Care (Sunderland) is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • b) 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 Helping Hands Home Care (Sunderland) is based on 2 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 = 3.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
