The lady has been to me on four occasions regarding my procedure. She is a lovely caring young woman who understands the importance of keeping my dignity intact. She's very thoughtful and always smilng and proactive, I look forward to her visits. I have no complaints at all she follows all the infection
control and does what is needed. I'm hopeful she'll be with me for some time.

My son spends quality time with his two carers. They see to his wants and needs. The carers interact with him as much as they can. He enjoys trips out in the community several times a week. I feel that the service the carers provide is right for my son.

I feel that the carers have managed well and tailored the support to his needs. Carers take on board suggestions and show they are supportive and caring and take into account his needs. I am happy with the service that is being provided.

So far our experience with Alcedo Care has been fantastic. They have shown great interest and have been keen to learn how to communicate via a communication board with my dad. Everyone we have met so far has been lovely and has gone above and beyond for our dad. Today is the happiest I have seen him
for years and it is down to Alcedo Care.

I have met every carer who comes to look after my Mum and have to say every single one has treated Mum with the utmost respect and professionalism. They are friendly and kind, they perform their tasks with a cheerful attitude and can't do enough for Mum. I would have no qualms about recommending Alcedo
to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Alcedo Care Ulverston & Barrow-In-Furness is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.949 for Alcedo Care Ulverston & Barrow-In-Furness is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Alcedo Care Ulverston & Barrow-In-Furness 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.
