Review from Neal K (Son of Client) published on 29 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I strongly recommend Optima Staffing. Optima Staffing have provided excellent care to my parents. The staff are kind, respectful, and attentive. Optima provides regular updates and highlights areas of concern, which is a huge reassurance that problems are being noticed and acted on. The team does an
excellent job addressing issues and making my parents feel comfortable and cared for.

Review from A H (Wife of Client) published on 13 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Optima are exceptional in every way. The manager listens and acts on
any suggestion. He and his staff are delightful, courteous, resourceful
and imaginative in dealing with advanced dementia, a very difficult and
sad condition. They show my husband compassion, kindness and
respect in spite of his
severely reduced cognition. They raise him
up to the man he was for so many years, ignoring the dementia surface.
As a result he has responded well and is less anxious. He sleeps a little whereas
before Optima he was awake all night, pacing the floor. And when he can't sleep,
the Optima carer allows him freedom to roam whilst reassuring him at the same time.


I would not hesitate to recommend Optima to anyone at all and believe they
offer the very best in home care. The carers go that extra mile and
recognise that it is a very high calling to be a good carer.


Other care agencies do not compare and we are so grateful to have
now found them. Thank you and God Bless you Optima.

The carer was very professional and friendly and the care was a very reasonable price considering it was only for a few days. Would use again if I return to the area. The manager who organised the care through was very friendly and helpful as well.

Absolutely brilliant caring, patient & compassionate, I have struggled to find home dementia care for my mum of 80 years, I was very impressed with the manager who addressed my worries & concerns with mum, they are very flexible with mums needs including personal care each morning, One staff member
in particular is very kind & patient with mum, & although we have only used optima for a couple of weeks, I feel as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders I would definitely recommend optima care, for all your home care & support for your loved ones you really won't find any better.

The manager and his lovely team at Optima Staffing Solutions have been wonderful from the first moment of our meeting with our mother. They moved very quickly indeed to enable care to be in place for our mother who has Dementia. They have always been kind and considerate to her and our stepfather's
needs from the first day and we are delighted to have them take care of them. They are always very quick to let us know any concerns they have and to respond to any questions we may have. We feel very happy in the knowledge that they really do care about the care they give. Our mother and stepfather seem very happy indeed with the visits to help them with the day-to-day care the need.

We have found the services provided by Optima so far as first class. My husband has been very comfortable with the staff provided so far. They were very obliging recently when we had an early health appointment and were quite happy to alter the time of their visit to accommodate this.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for Optima Staffing Solutions Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.967 for Optima Staffing Solutions Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.967
  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 Optima Staffing Solutions Ltd 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
  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.

Manfred Gwunireama

Job Title: Director/Registered Manager Joined: 2016

I am a registered mental health nurse with over 10 years experience working in various care settings including domiciliary care, learning disability, care and nursing homes, crisis teams and mental health liaison services and in private and NHS hospitals. I have a passion for care and nursing and believe that compassion and empathy should be at the centre of care provision.


I started Optima Staffing Solutions Limited, a premier healthcare recruitment agency, in 2016 and ever since we have been supporting healthcare organisations in the public and private sectors to meet their temporary staffing needs. Over the years, some of our very experienced workers have been asking about being able to work as domiciliary carers and live-in carers.
I am really pleased that we are now able to provide domiciliary care services to support service users in their own homes and give our experienced carers the opportunity to be able to make a difference in the lives of service users. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care.
