Review from Annette S (Wife of Client) published on 17 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care that we received was excellent throughout. At all times the team of carers were professional, respectful, compassionate and went above and beyond in their duties.
They provided support to the whole family as well as the client, during a difficult time. We felt like we were an extension of their
own families and they attuned to the needs and personality and humour of the client beautifully and with grace.
The team are a credit to the service and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Clara and her team were outstanding from start to finish during a very challenging time for us. Communication was regular, right from the word go, and everything ran smoothly throughout. The carers were extremely friendly, supportive and did a great job caring for my Mum. It was a relief and pleasure
each time they turned up. Thank you for being at the top of your game.

The wonderful carers helped with my husband from December 2024 until he sadly died August 2025. They were so lovely with him and also kind and caring to me. It made such a difference to us both during a very difficult time.
I can't Thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carer chosen was perfectly suited to my Mother's needs. She had experience with my Mother's medical condition so we felt confident with the care given. The carer attended to Mum's personal care without fuss and respected her dignity as much as possible. She prepared delicious home cooked meals for
Mum. And encouraged her when times were difficult when mum lacked energy and motivation. She stayed with her for a month and towards the end, with virtually no sleep, she kept caring without complaining or taking time off, until Mum needed to be moved into Full time care.

If you want a caring, compassionate care company to look after a loved one, this is the care company for you. A number of carers looked after my grandmother for 7 months, all treating her and the family with love, compassion, respect and kindness. Our live in carer went above and beyond expectations
and continued to do so through to the end. As a family, we will be forever grateful to those who supported my grandmother.

The two carers cared for my husband in the very best way showing compassion, care and understanding. They shared the occasional joke with him too.
I felt so grateful that my husband was in such caring hands and I felt very much included too. I cannot express my gratitude to them for making a very
hard situation easier.

Thank you for the excellent care provided by both carers. They were polite, friendly and genuinely cared for my partner. They chatted to him about topics that they had made the effort to find out were of interest to him. They ensured he was always comfortable and treated him with dignity. I am very
grateful to them.

Review from Helen T (Daughter of Client) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother received care from Southeast Focus Care after she came out of hospital in April until September. The carers were all very respectful, considerate, gentle, patient and caring. They gave Mum lots of time and she never felt rushed when being assisted with personal care. They always removed their
shoes when coming in the house which we appreciated and Mum loved the way they made her bed so well every visit which was important to her. Nothing was too much trouble. The timing of visits was pretty consistent too without massive fluctuations in when they would come each day. The manager at the office was so friendly and responsive, with a wonderful laugh that would cheer us up whenever we spoke to her. We would highly recommend the manager and her team.

From the first meeting, the manager listened to us and worked hard to build rapport with Dad and his extended family.
A warm and caring approach.

It was a small team so Mum got to know them all. Every member of the team was kind and caring and above all, friendly and good humoured. They were professional and reliable, always there at the agreed time. Whenever they had a concern, or if Mum was worrying about something, they always let me know
and dealt with it sensibly. We were all very happy with the standard of care.

This group of carers visited us 4 times a day during my husband's final illness. They were at all times respectful, gentle, patient, friendly and totally caring. I was impressed with the way they dealt with 111 medics during an emergency. They worked at all times quietly and efficiently and I was extremely
grateful for their help. They were also always punctual.

The care package was set up at short notice and provided immediate help. My wife was cared for at home for her final 2 weeks and visited 4 times a day. The carers were brilliant, so tender and kind whilst they attended to her. They treated her with the utmost respect and were very gentle. They were
meticulous in ensuring she was lying comfortably before leaving. They always arrived within the time allocated. My family were very pleased that she was being cared for so well.

The care given to my dad went above and beyond the call of duty. The two ladies that I met were kind, caring, excellent caregivers and very professional. Nothing was too much for them. My dad looked forward to them coming. They were always happy and smiling. The manager kept in contact with me at all
times and was lovely. I cannot thank them enough. The care Dad had before this company just did not compare.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for South East Focus Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.962 for South East Focus Care is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.962
  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 South East Focus Care is based on 48 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.
