My wife was very fortunate to receive a six week support package from the NHS. At the end of about a five week stay in Hospital, following a serious fall. Included in that package was daily care provided by the company, Enliven Social Care. We have written these notes simply to say that every employee
provided by E S C, were well trained, always positive, smiling and helpful, could not fault any of them. So much so, that we have asked E S C to continue to provide that care directly for us.

Review from C C (Mother of Client) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mentally and physically disabled daughter, who is a young adult, has been supported by carers from Enliven Social Care for over a year. One key carer has been assigned to my daughter along with several other carers who attend regularly, which means she has an excellent level of continuity of care.
This has provided me with the confidence to leave my daughter with the carers and know she is being well looked after and I am able to get on with my own tasks or enjoy some respite. I have been impressed by the detail of the care plan used, the willingness of management to be contacted, and kindness and compassion displayed by both carers and managers. I am able to use an app to see which carer is attending when and review the notes made by the staff. Staff turn up in an agreed time window, are polite, hard working and respectful of the client's dignity and property. It has been a daunting prospect opening up my home to carers, however they have made my life so much easier. Thank you.

Very nice company to work with, the admin team is friendly and flexible. Lovely carers, very kind, conscientious and caring. Sometimes language skills might do with a bit of improvement! but this is made up for by their big smiles and the incredible genuine love and respect with which they treat my
mother. I'd definitely recommend this company.

Review from S B (Daughter of Client) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have been fortunate enough to have been visited by two members of staff almost exclusively. It genuinely feels like two friends who light up the home on every visit. They always have a smile, professionalism and the utmost respect. They have our complete trust and I have every confidence in them.
They
provide exceptional personalised care attending to all of mum's needs. They have taken the time to get to know her and are always interested in her well-being, sensitive to her fluctuating health and mood and supportive and encouraging. They always make her feel that she's a priority and never rushed.
I have been a senior nurse for over thirty years and am very aware of the difference between good and bad care and couldn't be more impressed with the two members of staff in particular. People can be taught how to provide care and a service but they cannot be taught the innate interpersonal skills and good humour and sensitivity that both these two have in abundance.

The carers are really professional and kind. They turn up on time and they will do whatever their asked. We can always have nice conversation and a laugh also they make me feel better. I always feel better after the carers have been here because they are their only people that I see during the day
and they set my day up and support me.
Thank you for all the lovely ladies that are taking good care of me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was happy and comfortable with all the carers who visited. They had a good understanding of the difficulties he was having and were friendly, respectful and sensitive to his needs at all times. The carers established good communication with family members but more importantly, they spoke directly
to my father, making sure he understood what they were doing and sometimes enjoying a little joke with him.
The team were reliable and punctual and made a valuable contribution to his recovery.

This company are the best care company I have ever encountered. All the girls are professional and all the girls care from the heart which makes all the difference. They all still wear full PPE so I always feel safe and cared for. I love the girls dearly, they make a huge difference to my quality of
life. I would never want another company around me. I get respect, they treat me with dignity and love.

Since my last review of this company the care provided to my wife has greatly improved. They still occasionally turn up late but they usually ring me to let me know when they are likely to arrive. At present I am very happy with the quality of the care they currently provide

Review from Kate N (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 23 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law is new to the use of carers and, as a family, we were worried about how she would accept them. It was important to us that carers could work in a fairly chaotic home environment without judgement. Providing us with a small number of carers so that they could get to know the house as
well as my mother-in-law was a really important part of the care package. We have been really pleased with the thoughtful care they have provided and Enliven has given us consistency of carers exactly as we had hoped.
On the basis of how things have started, we can imagine that we will increase our use of their service as my mother-in-law's needs change.
Being added onto their 'app' so that we can see the notes from the carers and the rota for the coming week has also provided us with really helpful oversight of what is going on for a loved one that we live too far away from to visit regularly.

On the whole, everything is OK there are one or two carers who are a bit rough and some are not as thorough as others. I'm also concerned about the time they are here as most days it is only 15mins never more than 30 minutes.

I feel my mother would benefit from having the same person attend her, I know it is only two visits per week, but she tells me it is nearly always someone different. I realise my mum wants to remain independent and the care team are helping her to be able to continue living in her own home, which we
both very much appreciate.

Mum has felt very comfortable with all the carers that have been provided. All have been very polite and have treated Mum with respect and dignity whilst caring for her needs.
The only negative comment I can give is that we haven’t received any feedback back from the carers/management about how Mum
has been doing or if there is anything we should be mindful of.

My Enliven Social Care carer is friendly, positive, reliable, caring and kind.
She helps me to start my day in a positive mood. Showers me with dignity every morning, washes my hair twice a week. She helps me to get dressed. She makes my bed and checks I have breakfast and cleans the kitchen surface
before she leaves.

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 4.740 for Enliven Social Care is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 123 Ratings = 4.74
  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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Enliven Social 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.
