My son has taken really well to his new carers. Both carers encourage him to be independent where possible. He has been on multiple activities and the carers have engaged well with him. Great communication from office staff who are friendly and make me feel at ease.

The service we have received has been excellent. All the staff that have been involved with the caring have been courteous, met all caring needs and very respectful of the property. The family account that is used to report every carer's visit has been invaluable to us all. We have been able to check
every visit which shows that all aspects of the caring required was met.

Review from Kirsty M (Mother of Client) published on 19 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My young son has been receiving care from Alcedo Care Blackburn for a number of months now, and I couldn’t be happier. My son is also evidently happy with his carers and his time out with them. Being nonverbal, he still makes himself heard. There’s no doubt he looks forward to his carers coming. All
the staff at Alcedo that I’ve personally had dealings with have been incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding. Go above and beyond. As a worrier myself (like a proper worrier), I can honestly say my worries were unfounded and completely put to rest. Another thing I’m sure some people will resonate with is the feeling of isolation. Apart from seeing my son visibly happy and content, the other biggest positive for myself is not feeling like I’m completely alone. It’s an amazing feeling knowing you have support. And Alcedo exceeds in all aspects. Completely. I couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Alcedo to anyone in need of extra care/support. They’re an amazing team.

Alcedo came into the home for respite. The care received was excellent from start to finish.
Usual day-to-day care is exemplary for our family member. She needs familiarity with the same staff.
Usually waiting in bed at 7.30 am starting Monday and Wednesday, which is centre day. Every other day 8

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Carers are professional and reliable and very, very good when dealing with my Mum who is 90 and has vascular dementia. They are clearly well-trained and vetted. They arrive on time and, if there are exceptional reasons why they will be delayed, communications from the office are timely. Having the same
carers (as far as possible) is always good when dealing with someone with dementia and this regularity and consistency is largely provided. By far the best care agency I have dealt with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.651)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.651) out of 10 for Alcedo Care Blackburn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.951 for Alcedo Care Blackburn is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 41 Ratings = 4.951
  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 Blackburn is based on 7 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 = 4.7
  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.

Faye

Faye Fenton

Job Title: Operations Manager

Hi, I am Faye Fenton and I am the Operations Manager for Preston, Blackburn, Bury and Trafford.
My role in short is to oversee the day-to-day running of our homecare service.
I am responsible for ensuring that our service meets all legal and regulatory requirements (according to CQC), and ultimately ensure that we are providing excellent quality, person-centred care to our clients. I have worked within the care sector since I was 18. I have always enjoyed working within the sector and have always wanted to make a difference in the way that home care is delivered.

Tyler

Tyler Kelly

Job Title: Area Manager Joined: 2024

Hi, my name is Tyler and I am the Area Manager for Alcedo Care Blackburn. I have worked with Alcedo Care since January 2023. I was attracted to working at Alcedo due to hearing good things from employees whom I had worked with at a previous care provider, I also was particularly attracted to the family values and the development opportunities that appeared available within the organisation.


Before joining Alcedo I had taken a 5-month break from work to foster a child as I got approved with Lancashire County Council earlier in the year. Before this, I had worked in health and social care for around 6 years, starting as a support worker and moving over to North West Ambulance Service to work in emergency triage. I then realised I wanted to be more hands-on with health care and returned to supported living as a deputy manager.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and son. We particularly enjoy walking the dogs, going out on activities such as local museums and trying to visit each zoo in the UK.

Hannah

Hannah Spence

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Hannah. I have worked in the care industry since 2015 as a domiciliary home carer, I am currently working towards my NVQ level 3 in health and social care. I have been working for Alcedo Care since October 2022, I started as a domiciliary home carer but I have since then been promoted to a care coordinator and now a deputy manager.


I have a daughter who is 3 years old and spend my time outside of work caring for my daughter, keeping her happy and entertained. In my spare time, I enjoy day trips out, and watching crime, police and drama series. I hope to make a difference to both our carers and clients by giving them a sense of consistency and enjoyment with Alcedo Care.
