Review from Daphne L (Client) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The help and care I received had been first class. As I am not on the internet or have access to email I have been assisted in contacting medical help. The care workers have not only helped me in ways I would expect but have made sure the home is safe and clean. The young care workers have been not
only efficient but friendly and have made sure that different needs have been met on different days. Management staff have listened to any problems I have and made sure that everything is done to ensure I have all the help I need.

Review from Russell A (Son of Client) published on 27 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team provided first class care for my mother in her final days. It is not just what they did, but how they did it, always in a cheery manner and with thoughtfulness and consideration for my mother at all times. They always asked how she was, tried to lift her spirits, helped her look her best, including
brushing her hair, and trying to make her as comfortable as possible.


We shall forever be grateful for the loving care provided by the team.


The only observation I would make is that, in advance of the care commencing, the management should share a list of items that the care team will need. This is not a criticism, but simply an observation that will avoid a last minute dash to the shop to support loved ones and the care teams.


Highly recommended.

After being discharged form hospital on 19-5-23, spending 6 weeks there, I went home. The carers that I was fortunate to have were professional, kind, friendly and caring. I was treated with dignity. The management were also the same. Always there for me.

Value for money box left empty as we didn't pay for the carers.
They were lovely people. Great rapport with both me and my partner, who was their client on end-of-life care.
Always on time, very efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Not an easy job to do, but they did it with a
smile.
A big thank you.

All their teams have been very good, going over and beyond to help out. No job is too small for them to do. Always ask if there is anything else that needs doing before they leave, and come in the morning with a big smile.

Review from James K (Son of Client) published on 17 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A massive thank you to the team for your hard work while looking after our mum.
They were by our side from the moment my mother was discharged from hospital. The way they treated my mum and met her needs was incredible, which really took the edge off my siblings and myself, who helped with my mum's
care.
They are an absolute asset to Open Doors, and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering using this amazing service.
I can’t imagine going through the past six weeks without them.
Thank you all.
With loads of love.

Review from M S (Son of Client) published on 30 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On the evening on October 20th 2022, my mother was discharged from the hospital to return to her home, and on the same evening, two members of staff from Healthcare Services made their first visit, and both my mother and the family found them to be respectful, polite and caring towards my mother straight
away. Every visit after that was like the first, maintaining the same high standards. As a family, we can't praise the staff involved with my mother's care enough, The way they conducted themselves and their professional standards were exemplary, and because of this, my mother's physical and mental well-being, as well as her dignity was maintained right up to the day she was admitted into the local hospice. Thank you.

The service and dedication to care is very very excellent. Could not have asked for any better for my wife's last days with us as a family. I would recommend this home care company to anybody in the same situation that we have found ourselves in and would like to thank them with great gratitude.

Review from Pauline S (Wife of Client) published on 17 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very good care was given to my husband by two carers. When our main carer had a weekend break they sent the same relief carer that my husband was happy with. They were good time keepers, pleasant and respected our home. Very friendly. They would leave my husband's wash until lunch time if he was too
ill in the morning.
I would recommend 100%

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The ladies who visited mum were efficient and reliable. They were kind, caring and friendly -always with a smile. Communication with the management was excellent and keeping in touch via email or phone was very quick; always very friendly and supportive. We had one main carer visiting 4 times a day
which was great for continuity as mum has Alzheimer's and change is confusing. On her days off the visits were covered by a few regulars who soon became familiar to her and were equally as kind, caring and efficient.

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 4.800 for Open Doors Healthcare Services is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 220 Ratings = 4.8

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Open Doors Healthcare Services is based on 37 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.
