Review from H B (Mother of Client) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been very pleased with the care our child has received from Alcedo. They took the time to engage in thorough training for his condition and they ensured all staff that work with him had met him and begun to build a relationship with him before they took him out of the home. The staff I have
met genuinely seem to care for him and want to give him positive experiences. The management staff are very responsive to emails and phone calls and flexible in the support they provide. I would definitely recommend Alcedo to others.
Reply from Kirstie Poole, TBC at Alcedo Care TraffordThank you for your kind words and we are very glad you are happy with the services received.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Carers try their best with my mum, who, unfortunately, due to Alzheimer's, isn't the easiest client at times.
They generally place their daily reports on the app, which is helpful, and on the rare occasion they are running late, they will ring me to tell me.

Outstanding care company. Having used other care companies in the past, this has to be the best. They are reliable, communication is excellent and the care my son receives is excellent. The carers are very well-mannered and polite.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.639)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.639) out of 10 for Alcedo Care Trafford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.639 for Alcedo Care Trafford is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 122 Ratings = 4.639
  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, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Alcedo Care Trafford 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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.

Jane

Jane Williamson

Job Title: Group Head of Operations Joined: 2023

My name is Jane and I am the Group Head of Operations at Alcedo Care.


With over 20 years of experience in Operations, spanning both commercial enterprises and the healthcare sector, I was immediately drawn to Alcedo Care after meeting its Directors, Jo and Andy.


The company's strong reputation, unwavering focus on delivering outstanding care, and genuine investment in its staff made it an exciting opportunity. I was particularly inspired by Alcedo Care's commitment to its core values, its family-like culture, and ambitious growth plans. The diverse range of services, including children's care, nursing, and various domiciliary and complex care packages, further confirmed that this was the right organisation for me.


My career initially began in a very different field—Marine Biology. I studied at the University of St. Andrews, conducted research at the North American Arctic Research Center, and even spent a summer on a small island in the Bristol Channel. Along the way, I gained some unique skills, from driving tractors to caring for rescued seal pups.


Transitioning into Operations across various commercial industries provided me with a deep understanding of operational management, including overseeing global exhibition projects for major brands. However, as my priorities shifted, particularly with my daughters growing up, I felt drawn to the care sector. That decision changed everything—I found a true passion for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives through my work.


My extensive experience in both commercial and healthcare settings has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set, helping me navigate operational challenges and ensure seamless service delivery. What truly motivates me is ensuring that our dedicated staff feel valued, supported, and engaged, so they can provide the best personalised care for those we support.


As the Group Head of Operations, my focus is on driving operational excellence, identifying areas for improvement, ensuring the highest quality standards, and supporting the continued growth of our services. My ultimate goal is to create an environment where both our clients and staff feel valued, supported, and confident in the care we provide.


I am proud to be part of the Alcedo Care family and excited to contribute to its ongoing success. Together, we are committed to enriching lives, empowering individuals, and making a real difference in the communities we serve.
