Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
two carers were often Dad's 1:1 support, and they were always so attentive and compassionate. They were always so caring. Both of them were consistently caring and supportive, and we want to extend a huge thank you to them for the difference they made and impact they had on my dad.

Review from Gill M (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
1 Stop Healthcare supported not only my mother in law but us as a family. The speed at which they were able to put services in was super. The assessment was done quickly and it was great to meet the carers beforehand. The carers themselves were fantastic, they supported her with kindness, compassion,
professionalism and good humour. They built good relationships with her. She fondly referred to them as "her team". They were highly trained and well organised, which is obviously due to the support they receive from administrative staff. The entire 1 Stop team took some of the pressure off us as a family enabling us to have a relationship with her without the stress of the caring role. We will be forever grateful to them all.

My father suffers from Parkinson's disease. He hallucinates and imagines all kinds of scary situations and bad people around him. The carers sent by 1 Stop Healthcare have been perfectly matched to meet his interests and past experience. They are all lovely and very attentive, helping reduce his anxiety
and help him stay focused on the task at hand. We appreciate you. Thank you!

Review from M B (Husband of Client) published on 11 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The requirement is for 24 hour one-to-one care at home for an Alzheimer's sufferer with complex needs and challenging behaviour. The carers must have a very different approach from that considered normal in a care home, primarily an ability to observe and respond appropriately to the patient and not
try to impose an impersonal regime suitable for a care home. Building mutual trust with the patient is essential. The agency has been successful in identifying suitable carers and adjusting the rotas to ensure those to whom the patient responds best are first on the list. The service depends entirely on the skills of the carers and there are no issues with the agency management who have been very supportive and responsive.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.941) out of 10 for 1 Stop Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 4.941 for 1 Stop Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 17 Ratings = 4.941
  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 1 Stop Healthcare is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  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.
