Review from R J (Partner of Client) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner was well cared for by the team of Lending Hands. He looked forward to their visits three times a week for a wash as he had COPD, and struggled to do anything for himself. He also loved the chatting and the kindness of the team. He didn't feel rushed and they took their time to make him feel
comfortable. A very big thank you Lending Hands.
Reply from Rashiwe Choko, Registered Manager at Lending Hands In Care

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been having Lending Hand in Care coming to her for some time now and is very happy with them. She considers them as friends. They are professional, friendly, consistently punctual and always have time to give the personal contact that the elderly need when they live alone.
Can't recommend
them highly enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I started having Lending Hands on the 6th of June following several spells in the hospital. I have a daily visit from Monday to Friday. The carers are very professional and efficient and nothing is too much trouble. I am treated with the utmost courtesy and dignity and everything I ask to be done is
carried out in a really friendly manner. My life is much improved and I am so grateful that I found such caring people who make a big difference to my care.
Reply from Katie Devonport, care coordinator at Lending Hands In Care

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.878 for Lending Hands In Care is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 41 Ratings = 4.878
  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 Lending Hands In Care is based on 7 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 = 4.7
  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.
