I want to express my appreciation for the exceptional care provided to my mum during her final days. The team showed incredible compassion, respect ensuring she was comfortable. They kept me informed on every decision and offered emotional support to me and the family. I was impressed by their professionalism,
attentions to detail and generally their kindness. They made this difficult time for me a lot easier and I will forever be thankful for it.

There are three specific carers that are fantastic and they can't be faulted. The five stars is definitely for them. There is unfortunately quite a contrast with some of the other carers who just don't do anything including speaking to the service user.

From the first assessment meeting to present day I can't speak highly enough about this company , especially the care teams that see mum
They are all exemplary and look after her needs to the highest standard , mum looks forward to their visits as she regards them all as friends rather than carers
The
head office staff are very approachable and actually listen to what one is saying which is a refreshing change
Keep up the good work guys it is much appreciated

All the carers who come to my mum deal with her personal care very well and provide a good service. Occasionally they can be rather quick and need to take a little more time but this doesn't deflect from the care provided. We have had a number of issues with timings and this is still a work in progress.
The carers are all very friendly and respond well to my mum. I am very pleased with the service they provide.

Reply from Lania Tkaczyk, Director at Choice Independent Living Manchester

While we're glad the overall service is meeting your expectations, we recognise that there's room for improvement in how we manage timing and communication.

I have left a review previously however, it was never published.
Please consider other companies before using this service. My grandmother was only looked after once by this service as she passed the following morning, I am quite glad that she only had to see them once.
The person who came to assess
needs was rude, inconsiderate and was very condescending with my mother who was NOK to my grandmother. The care staff were very clearly poorly trained and couldn't body map correctly, they were also very loud upon entering my grandmothers address clearly not considering that she was on end of life. My family were quiet and coping with upcoming loss and the staff waltzed in like it was an exciting day out. Further complaints have been raised with correct services.

Thank you for doing an amazing job. Mum was cared for with gentle compassion, utmost dignity and genuine concern and kindness. As a family, we also felt confident with your friendly support and advice. We cannot thank you enough and highly recommend you to anyone needing End of Life care for their
loved one.
Sadly Mum passed away at the end of February.

From the initial appointment where the care plan was made. We received care and dignity in the four days care was provided before my husband's death. The carers not only cared for the needs of my husband but also took time to encourage me also. Thank you, we were very blessed having Choice Independent
living for our care team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.581)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.581) out of 10 for Choice Independent Living Manchester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.581 for Choice Independent Living Manchester is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 62 Ratings = 4.581

  • 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 Choice Independent Living Manchester is based on 10 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

  • 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.
