Your carers have worked hard to develop an understanding of my Mum including her likes and dislikes. Their companionship has helped her recover enormously and they often go the extra mile to make her comfortable.

Reply from Catherine Benning, Manager at Glowing Care

We are committed to providing a service that is inspired by compassion, kindness and empathy. We are so glad to hear you're pleased with the services provided to your mum and we hope to continue the care for as long as required.

Glowing Care looked after my very elderly mum after frequent falls and hospital stays proved that she needed help with every day tasks and personal care. All the carers were kind, efficient, reliable, honest and competent. They often went above and beyond their brief and regularly stayed past their
allotted time. Although all the carers were very good, there were a couple, with whom mum had a very strong connection/rapport. If visits needed to be amended owing to appointments or family matters. GC were very flexible and this was very helpful. Obviously, they made sure that mum was bathed, fed and hydrated but, just as importantly, they chatted to her and brought a kind and cheerful presence into her home when I couldn't be there, giving me great peace of mind. They also kept detailed notes so that I could see what had been done in my absence. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We will care for Mum again and again without any doubt. I will take this opportunity to thank you again for your support as a close family member. Our carers are missing your Mum's smile. Finaly, it was such a pleasure getting to know you all. Caring for Mum was a joy. Thank you for All.

Glowing Care was very professional about the services provided to my father-in-law. My father-in-law felt totally involved in the preparation of his care plan and every decision made about his care. Glowing Care has experienced, multicultural and well-trained staff which meant a lot to me and my father-in-law.

Reply from Catherine Benning, Manager at Glowing Care

Glowing Care currently provides social care to my brother. I found Glowing Care to be very understanding and helpful. The staff are knowledgeable and reliable. I have used other companies before but none has been as efficient as Glowing Care.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.227)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.227) out of 10 for Glowing Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.727 for Glowing Care is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.727

  • 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 Glowing Care 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.

From my time working in mental health as a staff nurse and care coordinator, I have acquired many transferrable skills, such as assessment and team management skills, comprehensive care planning, record-keeping skills, safe administration of medication, and the use of research-based and reflective-based practice. I am also fluent in German, French, Pidgin English and a local Cameroonian language called Akum. I also have academic accreditation from Teesside University, where I studied as a Best Interests Assessor and qualified in 2018. Thanks to all of these skills, qualities and the range of my working experience, training and cultural diversity awareness, you can rest assured that Glowing Care is the right provider for you.
